We had an awesome time on our fishing charter! The walleye bite was slower than expected, but our captain went above and beyond, even spending extra time on the water trying to help us reach our limit. It was my finaces bday and sll she reallt wanted was perch anyway. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience and enjoyed being on the water himself. Even though we didn’t limit out on walleye, we still had a successful day catching multiple species, including some really nice-sized perch, and even got into some steelhead action! The boat was extremely nice, comfortable, and loaded with electronics and top-notch fishing equipment. The captain was knowledgeable, hardworking, and determined to put us on fish. At the end of the day, fishing isn’t always about hitting your limit. It’s about the experience, and we definitely had a great one! We appreciated the extra effort and would absolutely recommend this charter to anyone looking for a great day on Lake Erie. We’d definitely book again!
We did a delayed Fathers Day trip for walleye with Capt. Joe, and we had an awesome time! He had us on the fish quickly and kept us moving...and he was a wealth of knowledge about Lake Erie and walleye fishing in general. Definitely something we'll remember for a long time!
We had the best time. Capt Joe was super knowledgeable and helped us with everything. Boat was clean and the ride was smooth. 100% will be going out with him again!
This was our 2nd fishing trip with Joe; he put us on the fish! His boat is immaculate & he is very knowledgeable of the area.
Afternoon trip out…..Joseph worked very hard and put us on the walleye and we got our limit of fish.
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Captain Joseph Beno’s ‘On The Swing’ Charter Service on Lake Erie, and it was nothing short of fantastic. Our morning on the lake was incredibly successful, as we captured a limit of above-average walleye, making for an unforgettable fishing adventure. Captain Joseph Beno is a consummate professional who clearly knows his craft. From the moment we set out, it was evident that his knowledge and expertise were going to ensure a great day on the water. His equipment is top-notch, reflecting his commitment to providing the best experience possible for his guests. The boat was comfortable and well-maintained, and Captain Joseph navigated the early morning waves with ease. As for our limit, Captain Joseph threw back at least another limit of legal fish, insisting we could do better. Overall, the combination of excellent service, quality equipment, and the thrill of reeling in impressive catches made for a perfect fishing excursion. I highly recommend Captain Joseph Beno’s charter service for anyone looking to have a memorable day fishing on Lake Erie.

Even though we booked a four hour trip we caught our limit in one hour and fifteen minutes. We only got a few walleye too small to keep and zero bycatch. We got a few very large walleye. The captain was very knowledgeable and helpful and put us on fish almost nonstop. The ride out was eleven miles and a little bit intense. Overall the trip was a lot of fun and very successful.

Me and my family booked this trip while on vacation from out of state and had a great time. Joe was extremely knowledgeable about the lake and the fish. He had a lot of cool electronic equipment on the boat and nice fishing gear. He was patient and very good about explaining about how to do things without taking over, which was a nice experience for us.

My husband and I had a great time on the boat with Joe. He’s very knowledgeable, fun and didn’t have an issue getting us onto some fish. This is my 4th time on a fishing boat, my husbands 2nd time and we would both fully recommend On The Swing! Some wind was coming in so we couldn’t fish the full 4 hours but we didn’t need to because we limited out in like 2 hours! It was a great first time out on Lake Erie and our first time ever catching walleye! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
