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?
