Make some memories in Geneva 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 .Two Live scopes Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures. Live bait is also included
when needed.

A full hands on experience casting with Live scope or trolling for trophy Walleye. You can be involved as much as you want. From setting lines to netting fish.

Geneva on the lake is known as the WALLEYE CAPITOL of the world. You may also catch Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Yellow Perch, 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!

    Great trip!!!

    GOL Def AM PRIVATE CAST or TROLL on October 10, 2026 • 6 adults

    We booked a 6-hour charter with Captain Mike on October 10, and given the time of year, we were hoping for decent weather and a couple of fish each. Captain Mike exceeded our expectations! He was knowledgeable and informative while setting up all the gear, patient with our questions, and worked tirelessly throughout the trip to ensure we had a successful day on the water. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, we ended up filling the cooler with our limit of walleye! We had a fantastic time, learned a lot, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Captain Mike and will definitely be booking another charter with him in the future!

    Fish on!

    GOL Def AM PRIVATE CAST or TROLL on July 30, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    Captain Mike took me and my family (including my 6 year old daughter) out following some rough windy/weather and made Lake Erie eye fishing look easy in challenging conditons. We boated a limit of perfect eater fish (16-23” for all 5 of us). You can count on Mike (Hookin Hogs) for a great, family friendly fishing adventure!

    Great flexibility! We were scheduled to go fishing on Sunday and due to weather we were able to try Friday afternoon. We got our limit in 2 and a half hours dock to dock. Very fun and easy going trip. Worthwhile with Captain Mike!

I went Walleye fishing a few years ago with some friends and was hooked! I purchased a few different boats until I found what was perfect for me and learned as much as I could as fast as I could. I decided to get my captain's license. I really enjoy taking people fishing and passing on the knowledge that I have learned to my customers. To me, taking people out fishing is all about the customer enjoying the day on the water, and catching fish is the reward. I am not a turn-and-burn charter to go out and get the limit of fish as fast as we can.
