Turner Loose Charters welcomes you aboard for a memorable day on Lake Erie. Chase the lovely freshwater species that roam its Central and Western Basin and enjoy the nature of one the most beautiful lakes in North America. Operating out of Oak Harbor in the early season or Ashtabula during the mid and late season, Captain Robert E Turner will help you have a great fishing experience, so book today and embark on your new adventure!

You’ll be fishing from a restored 30’ Cherokee 28 Fisherman offshore sport fishing boat. It can sit up to 6 guests and is powered by two 260 HP Crusader engines that will take you to the prey in no time. The boat uses quality GPS, fishfinder, and radio systems for navigation and it also features a toilet. There will be a first mate on board to make sure you’re completely taken care of.

The species you’ll go after include Rainbow Trout, Yellow Perch, and Walleye. You can catch them on light and heavy tackle using trolling, spinning, and jigging. Kids are welcome to join the trip and you can keep all the fish you catch and take it home.

The captain will cover you with rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and lures. Yours is only to bring fishing licenses and your favorite food and drinks.

Come visit Turner Loose Charters and have a wonderful day fishing Lake Erie!
