When visiting the quaint community of Lakeside Marblehead, OH, be sure to take some photos of the local lighthouse, and of course, use the opportunity to do some fishing on Lake Erie. Chelsea Charters will gladly provide you with fishing trips so you can spend a fun day on the water. Their captains are highly experienced and they'll do their best to share their knowledge and enthusiasm with you.

A single fishing trip can take groups of 6 guests or less. You'll be gliding on lake waters on board a 30' Island Hopper offshore sportfishing model from 1986, which was refurbished in 2013. During your fishing adventure, you can listen to some tunes on the onboard multimedia system. The boat can reach a top speed of 28 knots with its single QSB engine.

Chelsea Charters specializes in fishing on Lake Erie. Although you could fish all year round, your biggest chances of getting your catch are during the summer months and early fall. You can go after Yellow Perch, and delicious Walleye and Smallmouth Bass. When it comes to fishing techniques you can practice light tackle, trolling, spinning, and jigging.

Anglers should acquire their Ohio fishing license before they come aboard. However, you don't have to worry about the fishing gear and lures, as they will be waiting. For your greater comfort, there's an onboard bathroom available. If you get lucky you can keep your catch.

Have a wonderful day on the waters of Lake Erie, and while you're at it get yourself a chance to bag some delicious fish. So contact Chelsea Charters and book yourself a trip.

Great Day on the Lake
7 hour am trip on July 23, 20265 adults

We wer greeted by the Cpt as soon as we arrived at the dock and in no time we were on our way to the fishing grounds. About 20 secs after setting the lines out the first walleye was in the boat. Pretty much nonstop till we limited out. Captain Charlie was great. I would reccomend looking into fish cleaning services or find a place to clean your own as the ones we used seemed pricey after talking with others at the dock. Still a great day on the lake. Will definitely use Chelsae again. 👍🇺🇸

Thanks so much! glad you had a great day with Captain Charlie. There is a public fish cleaning station at Mazuriks, had we know you wanted to clean your own we definitely would have recommended that. As always we appreciate the feed back.

10/10 would recommend!
6 hour small group trip on July 20, 20242 adults

Thanks to Josh and his wife!!!! I booked this charter for my husband and my dad, as a gift for my dad’s birthday, not knowing what I was looking for and with absolutely no intentions of going myself. I felt some peer pressure from my mom, she just wanted to be on the boat to catch some sun. We ended up going with the guys and we all had so much fun! It was a little slow at first and hard to get a few in the boat, but once we hit a good spot, it was one fish after another. My dad is The Shepherd reeling in sheep head and white bass hand over fist, lol. I didn’t want to go as I’m a red head with fair skin and didn’t want to be an Erie Lobster…well….we all had a great time, I didn’t get sick, I didn’t get burnt, and we caught our boat limit of walleye! 10/10 would recommend and WILL do again! Thanks again Josh!
