The town of Monroe Michigan lies just between Toledo and Detroit. With its River Raisin National Park and the shore of Lake Erie, this place is great to get away from the hustle and bustle.  When you're there, use the opportunity to contact Ratchetjaw Charters. They will help you set off on the waters of Lake Erie and do some relaxing fishing. Captain Aaron Brink will guide you along the way and make sure you have a good time.

You'll be gliding the lake on board the Hewescraft Ocean Pro, aluminum fishing model from 2020 with a heated cabin.

It can accommodate up to 6 guests per trip. The boat is 26' and it is fitted with a single Suzuki engine that can reach top speeds of 36 kn. For your better fishing experience, Garmin fishfinding equipment is available, and you can keep your catch in the onboard livewell.

This charter specializes in Lake Erie tours and depending on how the fish lead you, the boat might be cruising from Michigan to Ohio waters. You'll be targeting the mouth-watering Walleye, so you might stock up your fridge with some tasty fish. You are going to use trolling to go after your fish, while jigging is also an option during springtime.

You don't have to bring your fishing equipment and lures, as the crew will provide you with everything. However, the charter doesn't cover the Michigan and Ohio fishing license. Depending on the weather, the captain will contact you in advance regarding this. If you get lucky you can keep your catch, or you can release it. Families with children are welcome.

Experience the magnificence of Lake Erie and get yourself the chance to fill your fridge with some delicious Walleye. Book a trip with Ratchetjaw Charters.

    Excellent Experience

    5 Hour Trip (PM) on June 8, 2024 • 5 adults

    Captain Aaron took us out on a Saturday afternoon. He has vast knowledge of the area and took us to a great spot where we hit the limit walleye fishing. We had a range of new to experienced people in our group and he handled us all with ease. Capt Aaron also has a chill disposition and was fun to spend the day with. I would highly recommend his charter!

    PM Half Day Trip with captain Aaron

    5 Hour Trip (PM) on July 22, 2023 • 2 adults

    We have always wanted to do a walleye fishing charter on Lake Erie and found ourselves in the perfect location. We had the best time with captain Aaron and even caught our limit! He claimed it was a slow day, but we were catching fish like crazy! He was super knowledgeable, prepared, and very friendly. Would recommend him for your next fishing trip! If you are even thinking about doing it, pull the trigger- so worth it! Thanks Captain Aaron for a fun evening!

    Half day trip with captain Aaron

    5 Hour Trip (PM) on July 3, 2022 • 4 adults

    We had amazing walleye fishing trip with captain Aaron , he is very organized and super friendly. I got all the required information well in advance , we did a half a day trip with him. We spent around 5 hours in the water and we got the maximum allowed numbers already. Captain was working very hard he knows the technical part so well. He did answer our questions about fishing throughout the trip. Post fishing he did help us with cleaning and packing the fish the way we wanted it. I would recommend captain Aaron any day to get handful of fish and to have good company. Thank you captain our family enjoyed fishing with you. Looking forward for the salmon fishing trip 👍👍

    1/2 day trip

    5 Hour Trip (PM) on April 2, 2022 • 3 adults

    I had about a 4hr ride up to Monroe. Aaron called me 1st thing in the morning and asked if I wanted to reschedule because the water was very muddy and he didn’t want us not to get #s. He told me the day b4 he was going to do this. I told him I wasn’t going to catch any fish on my couch we would go ahead and see him at two. I had never fished Erie. Are usually troll for salmon on Lake Michigan. What I wanted from this charter was to learn what they were using and how to set my gear so I can go out on my own. What I got from this charger was a great learning experience, on an excellent boat, a great captain, and some fish for my daughter. Aaron worked very hard by trying different spots, setting gear, and explaining his technique for us. This was by far the nicest charter boat I’ve ever been on. 100% professional and had great conversation the whole trip. I would highly recommend this charger. Thanks again Aaron

Been fishing sense I was old enough to walk. My dad ran a charter boat when I was young on Lake Erie and Lake Michigan till we moved down south. I fished crappie tournaments all over the Southeast. I enjoy being on the water and taking people fishing. The smile that is on peoples face when they're catching fish is what made me want to get into chartering especially when that smile is on a kids face.
