Turner Loose Charters and Guide Robert E. Turner welcome you to Ashtabula, Ohio. They invite you on a fun and relaxing fishing trip to the Western and Central Basins of Lake Erie where you’ll have the chance to catch some of the most prized freshwater species. Your guide is a friendly and skilled angler who knows how to make your trip fun and successful, so join him and discover the beauties of Lake Erie and its rich marine life.

The boat you’ll be using for fishing is a restored 30’ Cherokee 28 Fishermen offshore fishing boat. It’s powered by two 260 HP Crusader engines and can comfortably take up to 6 anglers. It uses all the modern GPS, fishfinder, and radio technology for efficient navigation and has got a private toilet you can use. To make things even more comfortable, you’ll also have a first mate at your disposal throughout your whole trip.

The species you can catch include the tasty Walleye and steelhead. Using both light and heavy tackle, you can catch them by trolling, spinning, and jigging. You’ll be keeping all the fish you catch and you’re free to bring your kids aboard as well and make it an even better stay in nature.

Guide Robert takes care of all the rods, reels, tackle, live bait, as well as lures you’ll need for your trip. This means that you should only bring your fishing licenses and some snacks and drinks.

Come aboard and enjoy a day on Lake Erie as you observe its natural beauty and chase its prized fish.

Awesome morning of fishing

VERIFIED

I would highly recommend a charter with Turner Loose Charters. The captian put us on fish right away he also taught us how trolling worked and let us help keeping poles out and netting our fish. Was so much fun being a part of what was going on. A lot better than sitting waiting for your turn to reel a fish in. He showed us how every thing worked and we all picked in. He was even patient with us when we had our line tangled. We look forward to fishing with them again

Fantastic charter

VERIFIED

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!

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.
