The Walleye Trip You're Looking For
5 Hr Trip "Morning Madness" on August 11, 20254 adults
Captain Anthony and Reel Thrill is a class above. It was my 15 year old son and I, my best friend and his 18 year old son. We've been doing walleye trips together for years with various other charters. It's a father and son operation that has been fishing Lake Erie for years -- and it SHOWS. They take off out of Lorain, their dock is super easy to find and much better than the larger dock in Lorain. We got there earlier than we were supposed to but Capt Anthony was already waiting on us. We took off out of the marine -- which is a straight and easy shot -- and we're only our first fish by 6:30 am. The boat is VERY nice, very big, plenty of seating but also plenty of space to feel free when fishing. They've got their system super dialed. Running so many lines would be a nightmare for most but it was a well oiled machine. Someone in our group was always reeling in a big walleye, while Anthony ran the show and prepped for the next one. Super safe, super clean, great time. Really can't say enough good things about them. Having gone through the process of finding charters before, this is what you are looking for -- plain and simple.

Book it!! Great Experience
5 Hr Trip "High Noon" on August 16, 20256 adults
I booked a group of 6 for my dad's birthday. Great location and dock setup. We got out quickly and had action right away and stayed on the fish the entire time until we hit the limit. Tony is an awesome captain and very knowledgeable of the lake. A top notch setup. Ethan is a fantastic first mate. There were times we had 3-4 on at once and he handled the line management, getting fish in the net and lines reset - made it look easy. These guys are pros! We'll be using Reel Thrill and recommending them

April family fishing trip
5 Hr Trip "Afternoon Delight" on April 19, 20254 adults2 children
Tony and his son were professional and were always trying to get us on more fish. Our trip started at 3pm and Tony communicated very well about the storms in the area and the possibility of having to reschedule.We got lucky and it was all over by the time we were supposed to go out.There were 6 of us including me, my wife, and 4 kids ranging from 11-18. We caught lots of fish and had fun while doing it. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to catch a lot of fish and have a good time doing it!

Amazing Trip!!
5 Hr Trip "Morning Madness" on October 4, 20256 adults
Absolutely crushed it. It was impressive to watch the captain and first mate work together to get that many lines out and manage us and 3-4 -5 fish on the lines at a pretty consistent pace. Very professional and experts in what they do. Highly recommend.

Fun day on the water
5 Hr Trip "Afternoon Delight" on July 19, 20254 adults2 children
Captain Tony and First Mate Ethan gave us a great afternoon on the water. They were great with the kids (9, 12, and 16). Easygoing and accommodating. Good communicators before and during the trip. Plenty of fishing action, with lots of Walleye, Sheepshead, Steelhead Trout and Perch on the line. They also arranged fish cleaning for after the trip, which was great!
