Best experience!
6 Hour Trip – Walleye May-Oct on August 19, 20236 adults

Their was 6 adults and 1 had done this few yrs ago with another charter. This was a great first experience for 5 of us! We did the 5am 6hr trip and loved it!! Captain Scott and first mate Alan was everything we needed! They knew right where to take us! We limited out in 2 hrs!! It was perfect!! Oh and the 1 that had done this previously raved how nice the trip was!! Would definitely go with these guys again!

Great outing shortened by incoming storm
6 Hour Trip – Walleye Jun-Sep on July 15, 20232 adults3 children

This was my second trip and Captain Mike pre-warned me that a bad storm was coming and gave me the option to cancel or proceed with the trip. I decided to proceed and Captain Mike and First Mate Jim worked very hard. We did catch a few fish as shown in the picture but did not catch our limit due to the incoming storm. I would highly recommend Makin Waves and will continue to use them.

Reported catch:
Walleye

Response from Captain

So glad we got you out again with captain Mike. Weather is always unpredictable up on Lake Erie, but we are glad we got you some walleye. Look forward to taking you all out next year.
