Scott HardenRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNo bananas!!
6 Hour Trip – Walleye (AM) Erie on May 31, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain David was great. The conditions weren’t great, water was muddy from the day before, so he took us a lot further east to better water. We caught our limit and loved our time with David. I especially appreciated his communication before our trip. David took care of everything! As he was putting the gear away before we headed back I commented that the banana i had earlier didn’t sit well with the swells we had. That’s when he told us that bananas on boats are bad luck, a superstition that has persisted for centuries. he said some captains say “no bananas” on their forbidden stuff to bring onboard. Well we had great luck on the fish and no mishaps even though I brought bananas onboard. My advice though is to leave your bananas behind! 🤣
Kerry Bartman5.0VerifiedMost memorable Walleye Charter
5 Hour Trip – Walleye (PM) Erie on June 6, 2026 • 3 adultsCaptain David got us on Walleye within the first fifteen minutes. He was excellent in organizing everything. Our largest Walleye measured twenty-seven inches. We had great memories while achieving or limit. We will plan a return trip with Captain David and would recommend this Charter for a Walleye adventure.

Russell HermanRepeat angler5.0Verified2nd Trip w/Cpt. David - AWESOME.
6 Hour Trip – Walleye (AM) Erie on June 16, 2024 • 3 adultsMy 2 now adult sons and I fished w/Cpt. David 2 years ago and had an excellent experience - so we did not hesitate to book another trip with him. Got there @ 530 & he promptly met us for a 6 hour fish. Was about an hour long boat ride to where the fish were - and we got into them right away as soon as we stopped. The action never stopped and we couldn't keep all the lines in the water. Wound up limiting out by 1030, and took a few minutes to cycle out smaller fish with larger. Top notch experience and he was not only friendly but educated us on using the long boards for trolling. Make sure to use that bloody nose lure! Thx. Cpt. David for making a truly memorable Father's Day - and the same back to you!
Karen AlbanoRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAugust fishing trip
4 Hour Trip – Walleye (PM) Erie on August 10, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 childCaptain David was an exceedingly kind and knowledgeable fisherman and Captain. While we ended up having a day that was pretty tricky with the weather conditions (wind), Captain David went out of his way to be flexible and kind to my 12 year old son, who is a novice fisherman. We would recommend hiring Captain David for a charter and appreciate the depth of experience he brings to fishing on Lake Erie. Captain David's communication was also exemplary, as he kept us informed about our trip from the moment we booked until after we hopped off the boat. Thank you Captain David!
