Kari Cornelissen5.0VerifiedGreat first experience on Lake Erie!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 13, 2026 • 5 adultsCaptain Craig was an amazing captain! He was super friendly and chatted with us the whole time but on top of that he taught us how to get the lines ready and into the water. It was like being part of his crew which my boys loved. We didnt catch as many fish as i hoped but we still got several in the boat and a few even got away!! Would highly recommend him!!!
Benjamin Mallette5.0VerifiedGreat Trip!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 24, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Craig was great. He put us on fish and was very nice and patient with us and our 3 kids. He was very informative and kept us entertained the entire time. He had the cleaners waiting for us as we were coming inland. We would definitely recommend him to anyone in the area looking to take a charter out.

Caleb Copley5.0VerifiedGreat Trip!!!!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 10, 2025 • 6 adults • 4 childrenCraig got us on the fish right away. We have four children ranging from 5-14 they all loved it and Craig was awesome! We caught so many fish our cooler wasn’t big enough to take them all. He let us run to wal-mart and grab a bigger cooler and stayed there with the fish until we got back. Great captain but better guy!!!!
David Spracklen5.0VerifiedGreat Time

4 Hour Trip (AM) on September 22, 2024 • 6 adultsEverything was straightforward and went as expected. No surprises and no BS. The captain and first mate were very knowledgeable and helpful.
Mike Lacey5.0VerifiedCould not have gone better!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on May 21, 2023 • 6 adults • 3 childrenDoug was our captain and did a fantastic job. We were able to start catching fish within minutes of getting all of the trolling sets in the water. Limiting on a half day afternoon trip surprised us. Pretty much a perfect trip. Great boat, perfect weather, and loads of fish.

Craig was our Captain on the Reel King Charter. Our party included one in a tI j and one who had fractured and dislocated an elbow just 2 days prior. . Craig did all he could ro be helpful and make them as comfortable as possible. We wanted Walleye and he took us right to where they were. We caught a 25 inch Walleye and others. Also several very large catfish that we did not keep. Our boat was awesome and fully equipped with all the bells and whistles. Book your next charter with Craig on the Reel King . You will be glad you did .
Thank you! I’m glad to be part of your dads bucket list trip. He definitely, caught a great size walleye.

I’m glad they had fun! We made the best pit of the slower bite for sure.
