Full Day Trip on August 20, 20261 adult1 child

Captain Greg took my son and I out on his 8th birthday. We caught Sheepshead and Smallmouth, all weighing over 3 lbs. Highly recommend this charter. The captain is very knowledgeable, friendly, and does everything he can to make sure you have a great time.

Great morning on the water!
Half Day Trip on July 2, 20262 adults1 child

We had a great trip with Captain Greg this morning. He obviously knew where the fish were and what bait worked best as we were on them early and the bite was consistent. Caught a bunch of nice Smallmouth and landed several large drums and even a Walleye. He was great with my boys who are 13 and 9 and just a generally great guy to talk to and fish with. I highly recommend him and I know we will use him again!

Reported catch:
Smallmouth Bass
Walleye
Freshwater Drum

Patience Pays Off
Half Day Trip on September 2, 20252 adults1 child

Captain Greg was a very well-prepared, knowledgeable, and amiable fishing guide. He informed us on the various types of fish that had been caught in Lake Erie and made sure that we went to different locations if the fish weren't biting. He kept telling our son that, "Patience pays off, keep doing what you're doing." Ultimately the trip ended with the three of us catching numerous fish and our son being able to land a stunning 7 lb. orange-colored drum and I brought in a 4.5 lb. small-mouthed bass. It was a great trip and worth the investment.

Response from Captain

Thanks for the great review. It was my pleasure to host such a beautiful family. You and Justina deserve credit for raising a very nice young man! One of the toughest bites this season yet you all managed to get quality fish. Thanks again.
