This is a very high-level tournament-style fishing!  You can get right in there and set lines with us or just do the fun stuff and reel them in once we are hooked up!

Before coming aboard, be sure to have local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. You can’t go wrong when you bring sunblock, a hat, bottled water, refreshments, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    awesome experience

    Full Day AM Trip – Trophy Walleye on August 8, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

    We had an awesome trip with Captain Tim! We left right on time and started the day fishing for yellow perch. The bite was a little slow at first, but it picked up and we caught plenty of fish and had a great time. We originally booked a walleye charter, but Captain Tim was upfront with us that the walleye bite hadn’t been great lately, so we decided to spend the last 2–2.5 hours trolling for them. We ended up landing 4 walleye, with 3 keepers, and had an absolute blast! Our 3- and 7-year-old had a great time catching fish and even loved helping everyone bait their hooks with minnows. Captain Tim was great with the kids and made the whole trip enjoyable for our family. We’ll definitely be booking with him again — next up is an April walleye trip!

    Couldn’t ask for a better trip!

    Half Day Trip-Walleye or Perch (PM) on August 15, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 children

    We put our trust in Captain Dustin for our son’s birthday gift and he did not disappoint. We did a 4 hour walleye trip and it was amazing! Dustin and his 1st mate, Bob knew where to find fish and how to put them in the boat. More importantly, they devoted a lot of attention to teaching the boys how to find fish and about the fishing rigs - how they work and how to deploy them. By the half way point of the trip, my son was setting rigs out on his own, it was awesome! I very much appreciate how the capt. engaged us in the entire process. The boat, the gear, the equipment were all top notch and The crew was amazing. We caught a variety of fish, including several walleye, white perch, yellow perch, sheepshead. The trip exceeded our expectations. The only change I would consider for our next trip is to go a full day instead of a half day! Go with Capt. Dustin and do a full day trip; you wont be disappointed!

    Hands down the best!

    Half Day Trip– Walleye or Perch(AM) on September 22, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We’ve done quite a few charters over the years but Cpt Tyler takes the cake as being the best experience we’ve had thus far. This was my 10 year old son’s first experience on Lake Erie, which Cpt Tyler knew ahead of time. And he was so focused on making sure that my son had an amazing time, which he did! He(Cpt Tyler) has young kids as well so he could relate to my sons excitement and was very patient with him and worked with him on how to “feel” the bites and makes sure he had an unforgetable time! We are absolutely going to plan a trip with him again and can’t wait for our next experience! If you’re looking for a great time with a great crew then Cpt Tyler is the man for the job! Thanks again for making my son’s first time a memorable one!

    CAPTAIN DUSTIN = Local Knowledge and Experience of Lake Erie

    Half Day Trip-Walleye or Perch (PM) on June 15, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Highly recommend this start-up fishing charter company with Captain Dustin. Very patient, knowledgeable about the lake and fish in it, and uses unique fishing techniques that get the job done. Our first ever Father's Day fishing charter boat trip was an amazing success. Initially, we were catching lots of sheep head fish, and it took some time to find the walleye - but find it we did! Near the end, my husband reeled in the biggest fish he's ever caught before - a 24inch walleye! We came off the boat with 20 fish: 12 walleye, 2 white bass, and 6 sheep heads. We did put several sheep heads back, so could've easily rolled in with 30 fish. Hoping to make this an annual outing for our family. If you're looking to support local small business entrepreneurs, this would be it. SOME THINGS I HAD TO KEEP IN MIND ON THE BOAT: *It's a FISHING boat, so don't bother bringing a book, blanket, or any other type of sun lounging stuff. Sadly, I didn't get the chance to be a lady of leisure on the boat that day. :o) *If I did it over again, I would limit ourselves to bringing just one soft insulated cooler bag on the boat for beverages, and well, maybe one small tote or travel bag. Also be sure to bring at least one large empty cooler to leave in your vehicle for putting fish into when you're done. *Use the Roadside Stop restrooms along Hwy 2 prior to getting on the boat, and pace yourself with beverage intake while out on the boat.

    Great fishing trip with Captain Tyler!

    on September 2, 2025

    Highly recommend Captain Tyler for an unforgettable fishing experience! If you have kids who want to try fishing, he’s absolutely the guide to go with. Captain Tyler is incredibly patient and knows exactly how to get the kids engaged—he teaches them in a way that’s fun, hand-in, and easy to understand. We had such a great day on the water that we have already booked an adult trip. Book with him—you won’t be disappointed!

Half Day Trip– Walleye or Perch(AM) on June 29, 20263 adults1 child

So, overall my family had a good time and we had fun catching fish even though they weren't biting a whole lot, but, some things need communicated a lot better and upfront before i could say i would come back. Our captain was Jim and he was a really nice guy but we didn't know that Jim smoked and we were never asked if that was going to be an issue before our trip, considering we obviously were all so close together in a boat and no one should have to be around that for 4 hours. Secondly, the details for our trip said we could either pay cash OR Paypal when our trip was complete, so we were going to use Paypal (who carries $500 cash on them these days?) but were informed by Jim he only takes cash. That would have been nice to know before our trip so we didn't have to flag down an ATM and then come back to pay him. Directions to the pier were foggy too, having multiple captains with boats at different places, had we not got a call the day before as to the location of Jims boat we would have been lost, especially not being a local and coming from a different state. So please clear up some things for folks before their trip.

We had a really great time! Captain Randy was really knowledgeable of the lake and methods to catch fish. Doug was very helpful as deckhand. They both taught us how to ensure a catch when we got a bite.
