Whether you're a beginner or experienced angler, Captain Dan welcomes families, friends, and anglers of all skill levels. Our goal is to provide a safe, enjoyable, and memorable fishing experience.
**Lake Erie Fishing Charters**
We target Walleye primarily from November through July and Yellow Perch from August through October. Depending on the season and conditions, we use trolling, jigging, casting, and traditional perch fishing techniques.
**Our Fishing Boat**
Fish aboard a well-maintained 23-foot Parker 2320 pilothouse powered by a Yamaha 250 HP outboard. The enclosed cabin provides protection from the elements. All rods, reels, tackle, bait, and ice are included.
Our private charters are ideal for four passengers. Five or six guests can be accommodated, although fishing space is more limited.
**Choose Your Trip**
We offer 5-hour and 7-hour private fishing charters. The 7-hour trip provides more time to locate fish and maximize catch opportunities, while the 5-hour trip is ideal for a shorter adventure. Specialty winter trophy Walleye trips are also available when conditions permit.
**Before Your Trip**
Guests age 16 and older need a valid Ohio fishing license. Bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and non-spray sunscreen. Alcohol is permitted in moderation; no hard liquor or glass bottles.
Local fish cleaning is available for an additional fee.

Danica Lively5.0VerifiedCaptain Dan is awesome! Excellent adventure!
7 Hour June/July Trip – Walleye(PM) on June 28, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childCaptain Dan Lemon is the MAN!! He is easy to talk to and get along with. It felt like we were friends for years. He can run that whole charter single handedly without skipping a beat. We wanted the whole experience, including baiting the lines and sending them out, handling the fish…everything! He was such a great, patient teacher. He was especially great to our 11yo son who was hit hard with seasickness. Captain Dan knew how to help and saved the experience for our son! He ended up having a great time and can’t wait to go again with Captain Dan! He not only was he a beast with the boat and trolling but he brought attention to points of historical interest, explained the manmade structures and how they worked, knew the birds and fish so well that we walked away not only with our max of walleye each, but knowledge and reverence for the lake, its history, preservation and its inhabitants. Our friend also caught a Fish Ohio freshwater drum and that was AWESOME! Captain Dan immediately helped our friend register the fish with the state! We can’t wait to go back out with Captain Dan again and again! *The walleye was the most delicious fish we’ve ever eaten! Captain Dan also helped me pick out the right freshwater drum to take home and try. It was quite different from the walleye (more like an oily pork chop) but man, it was good!!*

7 Hour June/July Trip – Walleye(PM) on July 25, 2026 • 5 adultsFrom the moment we arrived at the dock Captain Dan made this an unforgettable experience!! I jokingly told him we were gonna catch the boat record!! We ended up with several 25 plus walleye and the biggest being over 28” and over 6 pound!! Also caught the biggest channel cat I’ve ever seen!! Great variety even tho we were targeting walleye. My son caught a monster drum as well!! The fish cleaning place said we had the biggest haul of the day!! Definitely doing it again!!!
Stephen Collins5.0Verifiedwonderful experience
5 Hour June/July Trip – Walleye - 6:00 AM on July 17, 2026 • 2 adultsfirst time walleye fishing and first time trolling. captain Dan explained everything we were doing and allowed us to do all we wanted to. at first he did all the work but as we learned Captain Dan allowed us to do everything thing with the poles and just stepped in when we screwed up. In short Captain Dan would have done all the work and let you just reel in fish or with us he taught us the hows and let us do everything except drive the boat.

Excellent Human and even Better Captain
5 Hour June/July Trip – Walleye - 6:00 AM on June 20, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Dan was excellent. It was our first charter ever and he taught us all a lot while engaging our 12 and 9 year old. Always working to get them on the fish!! He even comforted our 6yo who became nervous during some rough waters. Captain Dan was involved and constantly working to get us on the fish while being easy to talk to during slower fishing times. Would absolutely recommend him for a family fishing trip
Ken Wullner5.0VerifiedCaptin Dan is the man

Brooklyn Myers5.0VerifiedBest fishing trip
5 Hour Trip - Yellow Perch/Weekend on August 15, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 childrenWe had a great time. We caught tons of fish and the captain was great with the kids and helped so much. He was very good at keeping them into the fishing when they were ready to give up. They fished the whole time and caught 137 fish! We will definitely recommend this fishing charter and book again for ourselves. 
Don Thompson5.0VerifiedGreat experience
5 Hour June/July Trip – Walleye - 6:00 AM on July 4, 2026 • 3 adultsWe had a great time with Dan. Since none of us had been on a charter like this, he was very patient, friendly, and explained exactly what we needed to do. We ended up with 16 walleye, almost making our limit. I would definitely recommend Reel Therapy Sportfishing.
