Make some memories in Erie and go fishing with Lucky dog Sports Fishing. Your guide for the day is Captain Gary, allowing you to benefit from years of professional experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Walleye, Lake Trout, and whatever else takes the bait.

On the day of your trip you're likely to troll.

Trips with Lucky Dog Sports Fishing are great for kids, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your trip begins aboard a 30' Sportfishing that can carry up to 5 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% tip is customary.

You might need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. 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.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is not allowed.

Highly Recommend Lucky Dog Sports Fishing!
Half day on July 8, 20263 adults2 children

We had an amazing experience with Lucky Dog Sports Fishing! Captain Gary and deckhand Tim were outstanding from start to finish. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. The fishing was incredible—we caught our limit, and the action was nonstop! The highlight of the trip was watching my 7-year-old daughter reel in fish after fish. She had an absolute blast and even caught the biggest fish of the day! The crew was so patient and encouraging with her, which made the experience even more special. If you're looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing charter with a hardworking crew that knows where to find the fish, we highly recommend Lucky Dog Sports Fishing. We can't wait to book another trip!

Incredible Experience
6 Hour Trip on June 27, 20264 adults

My three brothers and I had an outstanding experience on this charter. Captain Gary and Mate Dale were exceptional from start to finish. As first-time charter anglers, we weren’t sure what to expect, but they exceeded every expectation. Every aspect of the trip was handled professionally and seamlessly. Captain Gary was prompt, courteous, and thorough in answering all of my questions prior to the trip, making the planning process effortless. On the water, both Gary and Dale demonstrated exceptional knowledge, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to ensuring we had a successful and enjoyable experience. Their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction made the trip truly memorable. I highly recommend this charter to anyone, whether you’re booking your first fishing trip or you’re an experienced angler. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and look forward to fishing with them again.

Great time and cool experience!!
Half day on June 29, 20263 adults1 child

We had an amazing time on our fishing charter. We brought our two kids (10 and 13), and they had such a fun time! The 4-hour trip was perfect, and trolling with lures kept things exciting—we caught over 20 walleye. Gary and Dale were so kind and always let us know when it was time to reel in a fish. We followed them back to camp where they cleaned and bagged our fish, which was awesome. This was a great family-friendly experience, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and successful day on Lake Erie. Be prepared to take home a ton of fish!!

Couldn’t have asked for a better day! Captain Gary was top notch and made for a great experience. He had our group on fish within a minute of putting lines in the water. He and his first mate, Dale, took care of everything and were incredibly professional. I’d highly recommend Lucky Dog Sports Fishing to anyone.

I've been fishing since the age of 5, when my father would take me to North Park lake to fish for Panfish. I finally got a boat to fish Erie in the 90s and never stopped. This is one of the best fisheries in the country.
