Incredible!
5 Hr Trip 'Afternoon Delight' on May 25, 20262 adults1 child
Captain Anthony and Mate Ethan provided an excellent experience for my group of three! They seem very professional and courteous. They definitely do their homework to know where the fish are and they know the techniques to get them in the boat. We went out with them for their "afternoon delight" before all the rods were out we were hooking up. We caught our limit in under 3 hours even with a few amateur mistakes from my group causing us to lose several fish. These are great guys to fish with and they get you on the fish!
Reported catch:
Walleye

Awesome trip!!
5 Hr Trip 'High Noon' on May 2, 20265 adults
So 5 of us drove down from Flint, MI area. We are all experienced fishermen and fish for walleye year round. We wanted to go out and just sit back and enjoy. We had a blast! Captain Anthony and his dexk hand Ethan were great. The boat is awesome and perfect for the 5 of us. We limited in about 2 hours! Highly recommend these guys and we will be back! As a side note, there is a bar/resturant at the marina that will cook up your catch after you come in. Anthony and Ethan cleaned the fish we selected and we took them in and they served us the best walleye dinner you have ever had! Do This!!!

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.
