Erie has a fish with your name on it, so let Crawl Daddy Fishing help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Wayne, which allows you to benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Walleye, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Lake Trout, and more inhabit these waters if conditions are right. For these species, you're likely to troll.

Capt. Wayne is happy to have kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Don't forget to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Your adventure begins aboard a 25' Carolina cuddy cabin with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Wayne has rods and reels for you, as well as lures.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

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

Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your trip with Crawl Daddy Fishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

    2 Perfect Days on Lake Erie

    on July 29, 2024

    My son, three friends, and I had an unforgettable two-day fishing adventure with Crawl Daddy Fishing Charters on Lake Erie in July 2024, and Captain Wayne made it exceptional. His expertise in locating Walleye was spot-on, guiding us to prime spots where we hit our limits both days. Captain Wayne’s enthusiasm and knack for storytelling kept the group entertained, making every moment on the water a blast. He went above and beyond, not only sharing his deep knowledge but also pitching in to clean and pack our catch with care, ensuring we left with our haul ready to enjoy. His passion for fishing and commitment to a great experience made this trip a highlight of our summer. Highly recommend Crawl Daddy Charters for anyone looking to reel in Walleye with a top-notch captain!
