    Walleye happiness

    4 Hr – Weekday Special - 10:30 AM on July 27, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Captain Mike made sure everyone on board had a great time. We had a range of fishers on this family outing, from an English licensed sailing captain to a lady doctor to a 5-year old adventurer. Captain Mike found the walleye and schooled us in the best technique to get them to our cooler. And finally, he hooked us up with a skilled fish cleaner to make sure we had plenty of delicious filets to take home. Thank you, Captain Mike!

    A bountiful Lake Erie fishing trip!

    Half Day Trip (PM) on August 12, 2025 • 4 adults

    We celebrated my son's 16th birthday with a fishing trip and had a great time! He caught a 25 inch Freshwater Drum and 27 inch Walleye. We ended up with 12 Walleye's that we decided to keep and threw several others back into the lake. Captain Michael Long was very personable and helpful!

    3/4 Day Trip (PM) on June 28, 2024 • 6 adults • 2 children

    We had a great time out on the Lake and it was the first time for us and our boys! We all had a blast and almost caught our limit. Captain Micheal was professional, courteous and easy going. He knew right where the fish would be and he made everything about the experience easy and fun. I would definitely recommend him and go out on the water with him again.

    Our group of 6 included 3 father/son teams. We limited out on walleye, and even pulled in a 29” fish Ohio monster. Capt. Mike was great, and worked hard to make sure everything ran smoothly. He even scheduled to have our batch cleaned and bagged with a local colleague. Highly recommended charter experience.

    Enjoyable Half Day fishing trip in May

    Half Day Trip (PM) on May 22, 2021 • 5 adults

    Our family of admittedly novice fishermen had a wonderfully memorable excursion with Capt. Mike and his 1st mate Brian, who made us feel comfortable throughout the voyage, and were exceedingly friendly, witty and engaging. Despite being early in the season, the Irish Eyes Captain and crew showed their knowledge and professionalism by taking us right to where the fish were biting, walking us through the process of setting up the rigs, and ensuring that we each had multiple opportunities to enjoy the thrill of bringing in sizable Lake Erie walleye.
