Rod Squad Fishing Charters welcomes you to Erie, Pennsylvania for a memorable day of fishing. This family-friendly fishing charter operation takes great pride in its success and will provide you with a fun fishing trip on Lake Erie. You'll be in the safe hands of Captain Robert and his crew. These experienced anglers will know how to make your stay on the water enjoyable, safe, and productive. Join them aboard and see why Lake Erie is the greatest freshwater fishery in the USA.

Being world-renowned for its healthy Walleye population, the lake allows you to fill the freeze with generous white fillets that are a great source for a family and friends gathering. The species is a native, naturally reproducing resident of the lake and can be best targeted in Pennsylvania waters from May to September. Captain Bob is well-versed in his abilities to locate and catch these toothy critters and recommends Walleye trips to all ages and skill levels. Along with this tasty species, you can also chase Rainbow and Lake Trout.

The boat you'll fish from is a 2023 26ft HewesCraft boat that can take up to 6 guests. It runs on a 250 HP Honda engine and comes with a portable toilet and downriggers.

Captain Robert provides rods, reels, tackle, lures, as well as catch cleaning and filleting. Yours is just to bring fishing licenses and the food and drinks of your choice.

Bring the family out for a day on Lake Erie they will not forget.

    Fantastic Trip

    7 Hour Morning Walleye Trip on August 8, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    Rob and Luke were very professional and are truly expert fisherman. We adjusted fire when it came to the morning storms, then had a slight hiccup as we lost a board that caise quit the entanglement. over all caught 29 out of 30 fish before they stopped biting. I was asked before “why we came all the way to PA from indiana when we could just go to OH?” “For the ratings”was my answer. I am going to change my answer now. I am choosing Rob and Luke for my next charter because they were paitient with my kids and knew how to bring fish to our dinner table. I am also happy to support veteran owned. lastly “De Opresso Liber” from my Dad.

    Great Walleye Charter!

    5 Hour Evening Walleye Trip on August 11, 2026 • 2 adults

    RodSquad charter is the way to go! This was the first time that my girlfriend and I took a walleye charter. Robert and his crewmate Lucas were very welcoming and helpful. We caught our limit in 2 hours (6 fish a person)! They even tried to get us a steelhead which they didnt have to do… and we missed a good one. I recommend these guys and this charter to anyone whether you are experienced or inexperienced . I’ll be calling these guys up alot more💯

    Awsome trip

    7 Hour Morning Walleye Trip on July 26, 2026 • 4 adults

    Had an amazing time on this trip! Robert and Ryan were fantastic guides — knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly experts on where to find the fish. We landed a ton of walleye, way more than I expected. They made the whole day easy and fun, from getting set up to net­ting our biggest catches. Would absolutely book with them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a great walleye trip!
