If fishing in Lake Erie is on your bucket list, look no further than Pro Charter Fishing. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Matthew can tell you all about the local fishery.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Perch, Walleye, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Smallmouth Bass, Lake Trout, and whatever else takes the bait. On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Young ones are welcome, so get ‘em offline and onto the water! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Don’t forget to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Capt. Matthew will bring you aboard a 26’ Crevalle center console with a capacity for 6 passengers. It has downriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if 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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can’t go wrong when you bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, feel free.

If you have any questions about fishing with Pro Charter Fishing, don’t hesitate to send Capt. Matthew a message down below.

Half Day Trip- Weekend- Erie

Fantastic experience even in choppy conditions

VERIFIED

Captain Matt delivered as he indicated he would even in very choppy waters following a thunderstorm. He set 8 or more lines and that allowed each of us in our party of four numerous opportunities to feel what it was like to reel in walleye and perch. Upon returning to the dock, he expertly cut the 20 fish for over an hour so we could take them home with us. Matt it was a great experience for everyone and thank you for all your hard work to make our experience amazing. We cooked some fish that evening, and it was delicious!

Captain Matt was great! He found us a lot of walleyes. I’m not to steady on my feet, but Matt made sure I didn’t get into trouble . We had a boy who just turned 11, and he was in seventh heaven. All 6 of us had a wonderful time.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a real pleasure having your group aboard. I’m glad everyone had a great time—especially the 11-year-old, who was an absolute blast to watch reel them in! And I’m always happy to help make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable on the boat. Hope to see you all again for another great day on the water!
