Amazing and beautiful day Smallmouth fishing on Lake Erie!
8 Hour Trip – Bass Fishing on June 3, 20262 adults
Had an amazing time with my son smallmouth fishing around the islands on Lake Erie. Part of a graduation trip for my son. Captain Joe did not disappoint! Great guide! Very knowledgeable and firendly. Loves being on the water making the best experience for his clients. An absolute beautiful boat and setup. Loaded with electronics and great fishing gear!He took time explaining his Livescope setup and showing what to look for, which my son thought was awesome! Joe worked hard to get us on some fish! Caught several nice smallmouth and of course some giant drums. Beautiful weather, awesome boat/equipment, great guide, time fishing with my son. What more can you ask for?!? An overall amazing experience and great memories! Book with Joe and you won’t be disappointed!
