Hook'in Hogs Fishing Charter DEFIANCE GOL
Make some memories in Cleveland and go fishing with Hook'in Hogs Fishing Charter.
You'll be fishing on the brand new, state of the art Defiance Admiral 260 pilot house that can comfortably seat 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures. Live bait is also included when needed.
Geneva on the lake is known as the WALLEYE CAPITOL of the world. You may also catch Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Yellow Perch, Sheephead, White bass and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.
Kids are welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, one be on board to use. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. 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. Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now's the time to experience fishing on Lake Erie for yourself, with Hook'in Hogs Fishing Charter!

GOL DEFIANCE Walleye PM SHARED
Limited Out In Under 2 Hours!
Captain Mike is the man. He joked with us before we left that Erie is the Walleye fishing capital of the world, only it was no joke. We didn't have our lines in the water long before my two brothers and I we're pulling them in left and right while Mike was constantly resetting the lines and yelling "Fish On" seemingly seconds after we had just got the last one in the boat. While you can never guarantee a successful fishing trip, Mike definitely put us in the best possible position to have a busy day and we were out and back in a little over 2 hours with our full limit of fish. An awesome day and we were extremely grateful!

Captain Mike
The captain got our group of 4 to a good location within 30 minutes of leaving the marina. We caught our limit of 24 walleye within 4 hrs. This was my first time fishing like this the captain was like a band leader orchestrating a symphony he had poles all over at different depths we the crew helped out. He would start a rod letting out line hand to one of us and say let it out to 80 or 95 ft. I learned alot fishing on the Erie. He was funny played some good music.if you go on his boat just listen to what he says and you will have success reel the fish in slowly. Thanks Cap.

Awesome trip!
Mike was a great Captain! The weather wasn’t cooperating, but Mike’s communication was great! He offered multiple reschedule days and kept a close eye on the weather to keep us safe. We caught our limit within a few hours. He was helpful and my son and I had a great experience!

Beautiful sunrise on the water this morning as the lines were being set out. Then the real fun started and never stopped till we had our limit. Non stop action and Capt Mike and mate Alec worked their butts off. Our 8-yr old rookie stole the show catching the first and biggest walleye of the day! We’ll be back when the freezers empty!

Excellent Trip and Experience
Hookin’ Hogs had the nicest boat we have seen on the Great Lakes. The captain was very knowledgeable and made sure we all had a great time on the water. From the time we set lines in until we limited out, we had constant action the whole trip. Good music, good fishing, and good weather, what else can you ask for!
