Come to Lakeside Marblehead, Ohio, and enjoy a beautiful day of fishing on Lake Erie. Mar-Lu Sport Fishing Charters is a family-owned and operated fishing resort with its own marina, motel, and cottages. Lodging is available for our guests. Join Captain Ron or Captain Greg for a great fishing experience in the Western Basin of Lake Erie. Our family has been serving Lake Erie anglers since 1978.
Our boat is a 28' Marinette Sportman aluminum fishing boat. It's powered by a 270 HP Chrysler Marine engine and can accommodate up to 6 people. It features quality GPS, fishfinder, and radio systems to help you locate the fish. The boat also has a private toilet for your convenience.
Captain Ron uses light tackle and specializes in drift fishing. You'll have the opportunity to fish hands-on, feel the bite, set the hook, and fight the fish all the way to the boat. This approach eliminates the drag of a motoring boat and the distractions of excessive hardware and tackle. You'll be targeting Walleye, the jewel of Lake Erie, which is well known as the Walleye Capital of the World. Kids are welcome on your trip, and you're free to keep all the fish you catch, subject to size and creel limits.
Fish cleaning is available through a local fish cleaner who will pick up your catch right at the marina and prepare it for you quickly. Fish-cleaning rates are set by the fish cleaner.
The captain will provide all the tackle, bait, and ice for every trip, but you're always welcome to bring your favorite medium-action rod and reel if you'd like. Before you go, just make sure you've packed your fishing license, food, and drinks.
Captain Ron and Mar-Lu Sport Fishing Charters will make every effort to ensure your Lake Erie fishing experience is fun and memorable.

Greg did such an amazing job and was very honest how they have been doing. We were texting the night before and he was explaining fishing really hasn't been the best for walleye because of the weather conditions. Kept a positive attitude going into the day and within 2 hours of being out there he had us on fish with 6 in the boat trying every spot he had in his chamber. Such a nice likable guy and very knowledgeable about the water he fishes daily. Grateful to be on his boat and having him guide me and my buddy. I've been on plenty of charters they definitely have little older boats but the experience completely disregarded it. Overall 10/10 GREG YOU ARE AMAZING, Garrett and I thank you!

We had the privilege of going out with Captain Ron of Mar-Lu Charters for a day of incredible Walleye fishing. Launching from Marblehead, we had a full party of 6 excited for a fun day on the water. Mar-Lu is a long time family owned business where comfort and connection is a clear priority. Unlike other charters I have been on in the past, every person in my party left 100% satisfied. Captain Ron showed us not only where the fish were, but provided the resources (bait, lures, lines, etc.) to ensure we were successful at brining in some Walleye! Additionally, we had some insightful fishing conversations, talked a little football, and even shared a few laughs. Not to mention, we limited out!!!! Realistically speaking, the day could not have gone any better. For anyone thinking about booking a trip with Mar-Lu, I advise you to do so ASAP. I guarantee that you will not leave disappointed.

Captain Greg did a great job hunting fish on a difficult day on Erie. With all the odds against us we still came home with fish in the cooler! We had a fish fry for 14 people with bagged fish to take home after!. Thanks Greg!
Decent day to go out fishing on a full day booking, however, the fish just weren’t biting. Were it not for the skills of Capt. RON, in every sense, we wouldn’t have gone in with three fish! Capt. RON is a laid back, straight forward, knowledgeable conversationalist who kept us engaged in the overall experience. His mother is very cheerful, charming, accommodating and well suited for the front office wherein she manages financial matters.
We had a tough bite, but our Capt Greg stayed on task and we managed some really good fish!! Would fish again with this group and Greg!!!


Couple of buddies got together to try a different style of fishing. Capatin Greg was awesome! He took the time to show us what we needed to do and did everything in his power to put us on fish. It was sort of a slow day for fishing but we all caught fish and had plenty to take him. The trip was a big success and Captain Greg was willing to share his knowledge with us rookies. Definitley recommend them for future trips.

This was our 2nd time fishing with Captain Ron of Mar-Lu fishing charters and we were once again treated to an excellent day of fishing. Unfortunately, Erie dealt us some rain, waves, and a tough bite, but Ron wouldn’t rest until we found some fish. Even on a day where the odds were against us, we still managed to come home with a freezer full of some nice walleye! If you’re looking for a fun day of fishing, we suggest booking with Mar-Lu!
Our group was looking to get out on Lake Erie and catch some walleye, but didn’t want to exclusively troll for fish. Mar-Lu Sport Fishing Charters offered the option to actually throw lines and drift fish, allowing us to feel like we really fighting to catch some good fish, rather than the classic trolling for walleye where the tow of the boat dampens that fight factor. We had an awesome full day out on the lake, caught plenty of walleye (even though the captain mentioned the day was slower than usual), and would highly recommend Mar-Lu Sport Fishing Charters for anyone looking to do some real fishing.
Had an excellent day fishing. Boat captain was great. Everything was seamless.
