Lucky Dog Sports Fishing 

5.0/5 (13 reviews)
 37 West Fisher Drive, Erie, PA 16505, United States

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.

Lucky dog sports fishing will make it easy for you to go fishing in Erie. So, how about booking that trip?

6 Hour Trip on July 5, 2024

An absolutely great time with a great captain and first mate. They put us on the fish, we caught some of the biggest Walleye’s we’ve ever caught on a beautiful calm day. The fish were cleaned to perfection and Dr Duncan cut 4 heads to find the otolith ( nice to have a surgeon in the house ). They were not as big as in sheepshead’s but the thrill of finding the lucky stones added to an already great day. The stones will go back to NC State Veterinary Hospital. Thanks so much. Can’t wait to fish with you again. Jackie, Sid, Stuart & Duncan

8 Hour Trip – Full Day (AM) on September 15, 2024

Captain Gary and Dale went above and beyond from the very beginning. They were accommodating with the schedule and put us on fish immediately. The decades of knowledge combined with the pleasant disposition of these guys made for a remarkable day. The 2 young boys we brought will never forget this trip, and my freezer is full. Book and book quickly.

8 Hour Trip – Full Day (AM) on July 29, 2024

Captain Gary and Dale were fantastic. They got us on the fish before all the lines even hit the water. The boat was super comfortable for 3 and could have easily fit another. Great setup for my father-in-law who is 85 as there was plenty of room to be safe and navigate to the back to reel them in. Highly recommend Lucky Dog!

I can't recommend Gary enough. Friendly, professional, knows where the fish are. I highly, highly recommend reaching out to Gary to schedule your charter. All my co workers who came along enjoyed themselves thoroughly and we had a lot of fish to take home! Thanks Gary!

Clean boat with easy access. These men worked hard to put us on the fish. They answered our questions and cleaned our catch at the end of the day. Everything they said they would do. Highly recommend.

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.
