Cutting Edge Charters welcomes you to Western Lake Erie on the shores of Curtice, Ohio and invites you to enjoy a day of fishing aboard our 32' Marinette Fisherman.

Capt. Jim and the first mate are more than willing and able to assist and show you all the tips and tricks to catching Lake Erie's bounty, so join them and have a great time on the water.

Our boat has a full cabin and a large fishing deck, and a bow that can fish up to 6 anglers. It runs on twin 275 HP Chryslers to get you to the fish fast and has up-to-date electronics, GPS, a sonar, and a ship-to-shore radio.

We are set up for drifting and trolling, your preference. The boat is kid-friendly, so feel free to bring the young ones as well and have a lovely outing together.

Capt. Jim will take care of the rods, reels, terminal tackle, bait, and ice, meaning you only need to bring fishing licenses, food, and drinks of your choice.

Visit Cutting Edge Charters and have a beautiful fishing experience on Lake Erie!

    Second trip with Captain Jim this year. Didn't limit this trip but not the fault of the captain. We had a great time and the boat is always clean. Very enjoyable day limit or not. See you next year!
