 East Perry Street 121, Port Clinton, OH 43452, United States

Spend a pleasant day of fishing with BBA Charters and relax as you delve into the beauty of famous Lake Erie. The guide for your trip will be Captain Everett Azbell, a navy veteran with 15 years of experience as a captain and 30 years of fishing on Lake Erie. Join him on board in Port Clinton, Ohio and have a lovely fishing trip on the lake!

The boat you’ll be using is a 29’ Penn Yenn offshore sport fishing boat that can fit up to 6 guests. Thanks to its twin 270 HP Crusader engines, you’ll reach the fishing grounds in no time. The boat’s also equipped with Lowrance GPS and fishfinder electronics as well as a Standard Horizon VHF radio. In case you need a toilet during your trip, there’s a portable one you can use.

You and Captain Everett will be drift fishing the lake and targeting Walleye and Yellow Perch. In April, you can also chase fish by jigging. You’re allowed to keep the fish you catch and take it home to enjoy some delicious meals. Kids are welcome to join your trip, so feel free to bring them as well.

The captain will take care of all the rods, reels, tackle, lures, as well as live bait, so the only things you should bring are valid fishing licenses and your favorite snacks and drinks.

BBA Charters and Capt. Everett are waiting to take you on a memorable day fishing, so join them aboard and have a great time on Lake Erie!

Morning fishing was slow but Brian fixed that quickly. We limited before 11:00am and had a great day on the water. Want to do this again! Thanks for a memorable day Brian.
