    Great Family Experience

    Full Day Trip on September 17, 2022 • 6 adults

    Our family had an amazing day on Lake Erie with Shawn. This was our first ever experience on a fishing charter and he made it the best possible! His passion and experience was evident as he went above and beyond to ensure we had a successful day and a great time. He guided us through everything we needed to do, explaining not just how, but why. Shawn also shared his knowledge of the lake, different fish species, boats, etc which was all very interesting. At the end of the day, we finished at the cleaning station where Shawn cleaned and filleted our catch so we could take it home. I would highly recommend Don't Look.Back Charters! Don't think about it, just book it!

    August 5th 2023 2-8PM charter with Captain Shawn

    Full Day Trip on August 5, 2023 • 3 adults

    We had a blast fishing with Captain Shawn and Rich. We limited out on walleye and caught a bonus Lake trout on the trip. Captain Shawn runs a safe, clean boat. He answered all the questions we had about fishing equipment and techniques. We had a pile a filets to take home. I would definitely recommend going out on Captain Shawn’s Don’t Look Back Charters.

    If you want to catch fish, then Captain Shawn of Don’t Look Back Charters has you covered! We had a absolute great experience, and and crushed it by catching over 20 huge fish! Capt.

    8HR Day Trip with Captain Shawn

    Full Day Trip on August 28, 2021 • 6 adults

    Overall we had an excellent trip even though fishing started off slow. The Captain kept in touch and we revised the trip to take advantage of his experience of when and where the fish were biting. The boat and equipment were clean and up to date. Captain Shawn was very knowledgeable and worked hard at getting us on fish.

    Full day trip with Captain Shawn

    Full Day Trip on July 27, 2022 • 4 adults

    Our trip with captain Shawn was perfect. He was an excellent captain who was prepared and was very experienced. It was a slow day but with Shawn’s experience we caught over 20 walleye. The captain truly went above and beyond. The boat was also very comfortable with a sunshade. Fantastic trip and I will definitely use Don’t Look Back for all my future fishing trips in Erie.
