Reel Thrill Sportfishing Charters
Welcome aboard the Reel Thrill. Lake Erie's predominant Premier Offshore Sportfishing Charter. Our trips are ran with a Captain and First Mate to ensure safety and making sure your fishing time on the water is productive. The "Reel Thrill" is a 300 Sportfish Cherokee designed exclusively for Great Lakes sportfishing. Amenities include a private restroom, hardtop, dinette with seating for four and a wide 11-6 beam. With plenty of room on deck and high side walls, rest assured you are fishing in comfort and safety.
Best of all we catch fish! Lots of fish. Your crew will put you on the action. Hear the yell of "Fish On!" and go toe-to-fin with the Lake Erie fishery. Bring back a haul of fish to the dock and take home many meals of the best eating freshwater fillets ready for the fryer or grill.
So welcome aboard! Relax and enjoy a day on the water. "Hook Up" with high adventure and rod bending action. Friends and family…. young and old. Make it a REEL THRILL day!
Have a great day on a Great Lake with Reel Thrill Sportfishing Charters!

5 Hr Trip "Morning Madness"
The Walleye Trip You're Looking For
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.

5 Hr Trip "High Noon"
Book it!! Great Experience
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

5 Hr Trip "Afternoon Delight"
April family fishing trip
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!

It's hard to say enough good things about Reel Thrill, Captain Anthony and First Mate Ethan. Took the family out in August with them and they were fantastic. Caught our limit. Family ranged from 70+ grandparents to a 9 year old and we filled the photo app with smiles.
