    Full day walleye

    Full Day Trip on July 25, 2026 • 5 adults

    If you're looking for a great charter on Lake Erie, I definitely recommend Captain Robert (Bob) Turner Jr. of Turner Loose Fishing Charter Captain Bob is the perfect combination of laid-back and professional. He took the five of us out of Ashtabula for a day of walleye fishing, and from the start, he made sure we had a great experience. We wanted to start by casting, even though he advised us that trolling would put fish in the boat much faster. Instead of pushing us into his preferred method, he respected what we wanted to do and took us to several hot spots so we could try our luck. We managed to catch two walleye casting before deciding to switch over. Once we started trolling, the trip really took off. It wasn't just sitting back and watching rods—Captain Bob made it an interactive, hands-on experience. He taught us everything we needed to know, explained the techniques, and made sure everyone got involved. After about three hours of trolling, we had landed a total of 30 fish! Whether you're an experienced angler or someone who's never been on a charter before, Captain Bob has the knowledge, patience, and personality to make it an unforgettable trip. He's honest, accommodating, and works hard to make sure everyone has a great time on the water. Captain Bob is definitely the man for the job, and I wouldn't hesitate to book another trip with him. Highly recommended!

    Awesome experience

    Full Day Trip on August 5, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Our group was myself; my three boys 12, 11, and 9; and their grandfather. Captain Turner and Chad were great with the kids, had us reeling in fish nearly immediately and the action never stopped. Couldn’t ask for a better experience for the boys.

    Full Day Trip on July 31, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Bob took us out and put us right on the fish. We had our first walleye in the boat in just minutes. In a couple hours the cooler was full. Captain Bob was very proactive and attentive making the trip fun and memorable.

    Fantastic charter

    Full Day Trip on June 28, 2025 • 6 adults

    Captain Bob and his First Mate Brian were incredible. Took us right to fish and our group had non-stop action until we limited out within a few hours landing some very big Walleye. Both crew worked together extremely well and Brian had our whole group laughing throughout the trip. All 6 in our group would strongly recommend Turner Loose Charters. When we go back to Lake Erie, we know who we’re going to call…Turner Loose Charters!

    Book with Captain Bob

    Full Day Trip on July 5, 2025 • 4 adults

    We are from Pennsylvania. Drove to Ohio to charter a boat out of Ashtabula to fish for Walleye. The Captain was more than accommodating. I like to bait cast. He was willing to go get worms for me to do so. Awesome guy!. My husband and I have taken several charters out of different ports on Erie. We caught our limit, and some very nice ones at that. We got back to that area. We will definitely be booking with him.

    Fishing with Captain Bob

    Full Day Trip on July 14, 2023 • 4 adults

    I wanted to have my boys experience what good fishing can be like since all they have ever caught were small panfish. Captain Bob surpassed my expectations and that of my boys who were truly impressed not only by the number of fish we caught but their size as well. The main reason I chose Bob was because of his relaxed attitude towards fishing and making the trip about the experience and not just getting out and back as soon as possible. He had the patience to teach my boys about Lake Erie walleye fishing and they loved being involved in almost every aspect except running the boat! I will be forever grateful for what Captain Bob did for us and will be looking to book another trip.

Captain Bob's the best
Full Day Trip on August 11, 2026 • 5 adults

Captain Bob was excellent! Weather report had been iffy for days. Captain Bob kept in close contact and offered options, but always kept our group's needs, comfort and safety in mind. The morning of our charter was stormy. Captain Bob was flexible with start time and kept a close watch for opportunities to get out while our group enjoyed breakfast at a local dinner. Bob found an opportunity for us and warned us about how rough it might be. We jumped at the chance to get out anyway and Bob got us on fish right away. We would have limited out but we chose to return a little early (most of us had a hard time with the rough seas). All in all, Captain Bob listened to us, remained flexible, did his best to meet our expectations, watched out for our safety and got us on the fish! Couldn't ask for more. Will go out with him again!

Reported catch:
Walleye
