Enjoy an unforgettable fishing experience with Eyehooker Sportfishing on Lake Erie! Come to the Walleye capital of the world and fish side by side with a knowledgeable guide. Captain Billy has been a licensed fishing guide on these waters for over 20 years and loves to share his tricks. His son Blake has been working on the boat for 7 seasons and also has a USCG Masters License.  There are no hired captains and you can always count on going on a trip with Capt Blake or Billy. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasonal angler, there’s a spot for you on his boat.

The boat is a custom 32’ Island Hopper that accommodates up to 6 guests. This vessel has a 12’ beam and it’s powered by a 600 HP Cummins engine. Besides modern navigational electronics, a private bathroom, and lots of seating space in the shade, the boat is also wheelchair accessible. Capt. Bill doesn’t spare anything to make sure his boat is equipped and well maintained.

All trips start at Anchors Away Marina in Marblehead and they are available from April till November. At the beginning of the season, you’ll visit the spots west of the Lake Erie Islands, while in the summer the best spots are in Northern Ohio and Southern Ontario waters. Towards the end of the season, you’ll go to Vermillion and Lorain area.

Besides Walleye, you can also catch Steelhead, Smallmouth Bass and Yellow Perch. Both drifting and trolling are an option, depending on your skills and preferences.

All fishing equipment is covered. You need to cover your fishing licenses and pack some snacks and drinks for the day.

See you at the lake! Eyehooker Sportfishing is ready for another Walleye adventure.

10 Stars for this outfit in Marblehead! They gladly accepted out request as a last minute trip!! Communication with Bill was just what we had hoped for! We contacted Bill first thing in the morning for an 2:30 trip and they gladly made it happen! Blake and Ryan met us on time with everything we needed to have a great experience on the water. Once we reached the area to drop the lines they quickly worked together, baited the hooks and directed us how to get the lines down with close attention to every detail! We didn’t even have all the lines in yet and they were grabbing poles and handing it off to reel’em in! Very impressed with how these two young men worked around the boat! Very happy with our experience!!

4 Hour Trip – Jr Starter Charter

Amazing afternoon with kids

VERIFIED

Booked an afternoon starter trip with kids - 4 hours of trolling for Walleye; two dads and two boys, 7 and 11. Due to scheduling needs Captain Bill set us up on a partner boat (with our permission) and Captain Zach showed us an incredible afternoon, with Bill checking in along the way. Zach accommodated the specific interests of my avid fisherman 11 year old, including catch and release on fish that would survive (though this might break the hearts of walleye lovers). Caught about 16 walleye and 32 drum. Zach’s boat, Hooked, was clean and comfortable and his equipment was top notch. Great communication start to finish. I would gladly book with Bill or Zach again and probably will do so next time the opportunity presents itself.
