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?

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.
