Book your next trip with Irish Charters and find out what the fishing in Port Clinton is all about. With Captain Chris at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

These waters are known for Walleye, Yellow Perch, Smallmouth Bass, and more – with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!" On these trips, it’s common to drift using light tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

You’ll be dropping lines from a 30’ Sport-Craft sportfishing boat with space for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect. You can’t go wrong when you bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Irish Charters!

7 Hour Trip – Walleye (PM)

Chris knows his stuff

VERIFIED

Drove straight x hours to fish with Irish Charters. Went out early for an evening trip because the captain did not have a morning charter. Fished four or more locations for about 2.5 hours and caught lots of catfish and sheepshead and only 4 walleye. Captain made about a 7 mile move. We then proceeded to catch 20 keeper Walleye in less than an hour to complete our limit. We even fished for another hour catching fish and throwing them back. Thanks for a great day on the water Chris!

Family fun

VERIFIED

We had a wonderful day fishing. We are all beginners and Chris wait patient with all of us. He took time to teach us how to cast properly and taught us about the different ways to fish based on the season. We caught Walleye while out there and cooked it up for our dinner that night! We would definitely book again with Chris!

Fun, great experience!

This was our first fishing charter and couldn’t have been more pleased. Captain Chris was friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and fun! He taught us the best way to fish and coached us through each step. After the trip, he cleaned our fish (quite quickly!) and even bagged them up for us. Would highly recommend Irish Charters!

7 Hour Trip – Walleye (AM)

Great day ..

VERIFIED

A great day to be on the water. A bad day for fishing! Our fishing captain worked hard to find fish. Unfortunately...the conditions were the worst for fishing. No fault of our fishing captain...just one of those days when conditions and fish did not cooperate. Still recommend this charter service. Craig
