Buffalo Bass and Walleye
Explore Lake Erie with Buffalo Bass and Walleye. You’ll be fishing alongside Captain Alan, who has 30 years of experience navigating this lake and the Niagara River. He’ll show you a variety of fishing techniques, such as casting, trolling, and drifting, all with a hands-on approach. This all becomes an unforgettable experience when you’re the one setting the hook and landing a trophy fish. Learn something new and be proud of your catch.
You’ll be fishing on a 21’ Lung Pro-V boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. This aluminum boat is powered by a 225 HP Honda engine and a modern, state-of-the-art Minnkotta trolling engine. The boat has Lowrance sonar, VHF radio, and Hummingbird GPS and fishfinder.
Choose between a half or a full day trip and get your trophy. You can target Bass, Walleye, Perch, and Salmon in the lower part of the Niagara River. If you’re after Smallmouth Bass, it’s best to start in May. You’ll target Bass using live bait at the beginning of the seas and then switch to tube jigs and drop-shot techniques. When it comes to Walleye, you’ll start the season with jigging and proceed with slow trolling in the summer.
Your captain covers all rods reels, lures, and live bait. Your catch will be filleted and packaged. Don’t forget to bring your fishing license, snacks, and drinks. It’s recommended to dress in layers and also bring a cooler for your catch.
You’ll hardly find better fishing opportunities in the area. And with an experienced guide by your side, you can only learn a lot. Pick a date and join Buffalo Bass and Walleye!

4 Hr.half day – Bass/Walleye (AM) on August 22, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 childMy son and I recently had the pleasure of going on a charter fishing trip with Captain Alan Smith, and I can't recommend him highly enough. From the start, his professionalism and deep knowledge of the waters were evident. Captain Smith was incredibly accommodating, ensuring that we felt comfortable and were well-prepared. His expertise in locating the best fishing spots led to a productive and enjoyable day on the water. Not only did he provide top-notch equipment and guidance, but his friendly and engaging personality made the experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner like my son and I, I look forward to booking another charter with him in the future!

4 Hr.half day – Bass/Walleye (AM) on August 7, 2025 • 2 adultsMy wife caught 2 fish just minutes of setting the lines. Bites were fast furious ! We had our limit in no time. This was our first time to the area, and it did not disappoint. Thank you, Capt. Alan

4 Hr.half day – Bass/Walleye (AM) on July 13, 2024 • 2 adultsSuper Excellent Experience! My wife and I love fishing, booked a charter during our 1 year Anniversery Celebration. Captain Alan Smith was welcoming, educational when it comes to the history of lake Erie, species and habits of the fish; and he knows how to find the fish. Not to mention, he filleted the heck out of our walleye haul. We will be back!

Full day 7 hrs - 7am start on June 10, 2024 • 2 adultsWe enjoyed fishing with Captain Allen (Buffalo Bass & Walleye) last week! He is a great guide with a great personality! We always know that it's called fishing not catching, so we're prepared either way. A front blew threw on Monday, and catching was slow. Allen suggested we finish out our full day fishing trip later in the week; so, we did. (He did not have to do this but he had openings to accommodate us this week due to changes in his plans.) We fished again on Wednesday, and the weather was much better. Fishing was still slow at first but Allen was determined to put us on some Walleye! Because of his determination, we successfully landed 6 Walleye! The first Walleye my wife ever caught was 27 inches!! Her Walleye was successfully released. Allen fileted the other 5 for us to freeze and fly back to Texas with us! We also caught 1 Small Mouth Bass, 4 Drum, & 1 Rock Bass. Other people fishing whom we saw afterwards at the boat dock were also struggling to catch fish. It was just one of those days. Thank you to Captain Allen for his determination to make sure we caught fish and especially the Walleye we wanted to catch! -TX Andersons

5 Hour Trip – Bass/Walleye/Perch on May 25, 2022 • 3 adultsIt was a beautiful trip for families to be close together. We caught many fishes but we let them go back to their family too. Captain Alan is a wonderful professional man. We are not worried about being beginners to fishing.

We had a great day hit fish early bite slowed when that happened Alan picked up and moved to deeper water and put us back on the bite getting us our limit. Group of 3 enjoyed the trip very much. I think Alan is going to work to get you fish in the boat.
