Lakeside Marblehead has a fish with your name on it, so let Reel Runner Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Joe can tell you all about the local fishery.

These waters are known for Walleye, and more – with any luck, they’ll make your reel scream. On these trips, you can expect to troll.

Your excursion begins aboard a 27’ Sport-Craft angler boat with a capacity for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

Before coming aboard, you’ll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect. It’s recommended to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your trip with Reel Runner Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Captain Joe and Ryan were both awesome during our day on the water. We went out with three kids, and they were super accommodating, patient and kept the kids engaged the whole time. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a charter out of that area and will use them again if we ever return.

Half Day Trip with Captain Joe and his awesome first mate Ryan

4 hour morning on July 23, 2023

We had an afternoon trip planned and booked with beautiful weather in the forecast unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans and Joe called me before hand and let me know that there was a possibility of some troubles. But he made the absolute best of it and we caught multiple species and had a blast and plan on coming back sometime! Would recommend this charter to anyone! Thanks again Joe and Ryan!

Half Day Trip on August 26, 2023

Captain Joe was great and so was his first mate. He provided excellent advise, he got us on the Perch and we caught a lot. This was a memorable experience for three friend who met back in college and have remained friends. We liked it so much we're hoping to book again with Reel Runner Charters for the Walleye season.

Chris and his friends were a ball to have on the boat! Many good laughs and best part was showing them the touch of catching perch.
