Dirty 30 Lake Erie Charters
Book your next trip with Dirty 30 Lake Erie Charters and discover what keeps anglers returning to Lake Erie for more.
Local species include Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Steelhead, Lake Trout, Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Yellow Perch, and more. Fish caught during the trip are yours to take home, so long as they're within the legal limit.
Our fleet includes 2 boats to accommodate various trips. Both boats are fully rigged with top of the line equipment to provide you with the best experience possible.
For our walleye trips, you will find yourself aboard a 27 foot Proline Walkaround powered by a 2019 Mercury 300. It is fully outfitted with a top of the line fish finder, electric downriggers, and rod holders. The boat has plenty of seating and can accommodate up to 4 guests. It also has a nice clean restroom on board for emergencies.
Our other boat is used for bass and panfish trips and smaller parties. It is a 2018 Ranger 620 powered by an Evinrude Etec 250hp. The boat is fully rigged with 2 Lowrance carbons with structure scan and active target. In addition it has a Minn Kota Ultrex 112 with spot lock, as well as all top of the line tackle to chase big smallies, crappies and walleye.
Each person must have a valid PA fishing license and Lake Erie Permit. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's recommended to bring snacks, sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on the boat, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.
Now and then, the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen with Dirty 30 Lake Erie Charters!

arriving late for the smallmouth bass Captain Kevin was able to deliver above our expectations. we caught over 30 and several in the 4 lb class. highlt recommended he really lnows his stuff.

We spent 2 mornings with Capt Kevin and Capt Jamie and had an absolute blast! They put us on fish as soon as we got out there and made sure our fishing experience was great! The first day was perfect weather and hit our limit super quick with some big fish. The second day the weather was off and on storms and really choppy lake conditions but both Capts took our safety into consideration first and waited out the storm, fishing was a bit slower but we still got our limit within our time frame. Highly recommend Dirty30 for walleye fishing, hopefully going to do some bass fishing with him in the future!
Booked a charter for 9/30/2023. Kevin was very responsive from the beginning and answered every question that I had. I had a few requests since I was taking my father from Florida out, and he was very accommodating and made some recommendations for the trip. After paying the 20% deposit, he also gave me the option to pay the rest in an invoice with a credit card (added the transaction fee, but I did not mind at all) or pay cash at the dock. It was nice to have the option, and this was the first charter that offered me that option. The morning of the trip the captain arrived earlier at the dock than launch time and communicated his arrival via text. We started the charter trying to target steelhead and hooked up with one. Although we did not land it, the fight was fun and a good experience. We took a short ride to the area where we trolled for walleye and were on fish almost the entire time. Overall I believe we caught well over 30 fish and kept the largest walleyes while releasing the smaller ones. Throughout the charter the captain offered tips and tricks to land the fish and was very helpful. He is good with beginners and with people that have experience. Also took plenty of pictures for us and shared them with us after the trip. When we got back to the marina, he cleaned all of our fish for $3 a fish. I live in a townhome, so I did not mind paying that to keep my place clean. Overall a great experience and already looking to plan another trip with the captain!

My son and I had an unforgettable fishing charter experience with Dirty 30 Lake Erie Charters in Erie, PA, led by the legendary Captain Linza. From the moment we stepped onto the well-equipped charter boat, Captain Linza's expertise and friendly demeanor put us at ease. With his guidance, we caught 8 walleye. Captain Linza's dedication to ensuring we had a fantastic time was evident throughout the day. We highly recommend Dirty 30 Lake Erie Charters for an exceptional fishing adventure, and we can't wait to fish with Captain Linza again!
The Captain was awsome! He was very knowledgeable as well as personable. The boat was amazing. I catch a lot and I learned a lot. I will definitely be booking with Dirty Thirty again. I may never book with anyone else!

Dirty 30 Fishing LLC was founded in the Spring of 2023 with the goal of helping people catch more fish. Captain Kevin Linza, originally from the Pittsburgh area, has spent his entire life fishing for multiple species along the East Coast. He spent many summers working as a first mate in the Outer Banks, in addition to fishing competitively in Virginia for 10+ years. Capt. Kevin will do his best to ensure you have a safe, fun, and successful trip each time out. The majority of our trips are out of Erie, however, Dirty 30 Charters' boat allows us to be mobile and can run trips from Port Clinton to Lake Ontario. We hope you share a day on the water with us!
