Lake Erie Sportfishing Charters
+7Book your next trip with Lake Erie Sportfishing Charters and find out what the fishing in Lake Erie is all about. Having 25 years of experience fishing in this area, Captain Tyler can tell you all about the greatest Walleye fishery in the world! We are one of the only charters on the water that guarantee you Walleye or Yellow Perch every trip depending on the time of year! Limits are typical in this incredible fishery.
Year-round you can target Walleye and let us tell you they don’t call it the Walleye Capital of the world for nothing! The Yellow Perch fishing in the fall is world-class. Erie has world-class smallmouth bass fishing but it’s somewhat seasonal so inquire best times to target.
Trips with Lake Erie Sportfishing Charters are child-friendly! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, dont worry we have two aboard for children under 90 pounds! If you need more than two please ask!
Your trip begins aboard a 27’ Baha Cruisers walkaround with space for 6 adults. It has all-new Garmin electronics and Garmin autopilot to do the heavy lifting keeping you on the fish while you are busy reeling them in! Capt. Tyler has rods and reels for you, along with lures everything you need to catch fish. You just need to bring a good attitude and willingness to learn. 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, and sunglasses. Waters/light snacks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Lake Erie Sportfishing Charters!

Half-day Walleye Trip
Half Day Trip– Walleye or Perch(AM) on April 25, 2025
Incredible experience. This was our groups second trip with Captain Tyler and was phenomenal. We caught our limit within a couple hours. Even if we never achieved our limit of walleye which seems to happen often for others, Captain Tyler is extremely personable and an excellent teacher for new anglers. Always willing to listen to stories and contribute to conversations. Not to mention, he understands everyone makes mistakes and not to be afraid of them. When a mistake is made, he is open and willing to explain how to prevent them. Thank you Captain Tyler for another sick trip!

Half Day Trip– Walleye or Perch(AM) on September 22, 2024
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
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.

Full Day AM Trip – Trophy Walleye on April 25, 2025
A really great time, a really great captain, and a whole lotta fish!!!! We maxed out on walleye close to halfway through the timeframe we had fishing due to the proper fishing techniques and great fishing spot captain Tyler provided. Overall nothing but good things about this trip!

4 Hour Walleye Trip
Half Day Trip– Walleye or Perch(AM) on November 2, 2024
Dustin and his partner were amazing! Dustin put us on fish immediately and we never missed a beat after that! Once the four hour mark hit and we were less than 10 fish away from our total limit he offered to extend the trip another hour for a small fee. We got 67 pounds of walleye in 5 hours and trust me there were some tanks! Him and his partner were super great with explaining the anatomy of the lake to our group and also helping and being patient with us learning how to troll the way we did! Highly recommend this charter to anyone and everyone! Thanks Dustin!
