Captain Charlie was very attentive, considerate, knowledgeable, and fun! If I get the opportunity to get to Lake Erie for walleye again it will be with Captain Charlie. My wife and I had a very enjoyable experience and we limited out on walleyes. Thank you Charlie.

Your captain
Lakeside Marblehead, Ohio, United States
I'm Captain Charlie, and I've been fishing most of my adult life. I moved to the Great Lakes in 2014, where I fished Lake Michigan, Green Bay, and the inland waters of Lake Winnebago and the Fox River system. I now reside in Lakeside Marblehead and enjoy the Walleye fishing capital of the world. Experience world-class Walleye fishing with me. I specialize in catching Walleye and Yellow Perch. I use trolling, drifting, and jigging methods.
