Spend the day with Keepin It Reel and let them show you what makes the fishing in Geneva-on-the-Lake so memorable! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Nick is prepared to put you on fish.

There's no guarantee when you're fishing, but just some of the species you can catch around here include Walleye, Steelhead and more with any luck. During the trip you will be trolling, 

You'll step aboard a 28' Baja cuddy cabin with room for 6 passengers. It has downriggers, Planer Boards and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. It's customary to tip the Mate 20% to show your appreciation.

Before coming aboard, you may need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. 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 forget to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

8 Hour Trip on July 27, 20253 adults1 child

I couldn’t be more happy with the whole experience. I got the charter for my son’s birthday and the capt. and dirt mate made sure we were on the bite and stayed on the bite. We limited out with in a few hours the 1st mate stayed busy netting fish and dropping line back in. As soon as we dropped a line in there was another fish. The whole experience was just out of this world I will be going back to this charter time and time again.

Walleye

Great Charter
Walk On on June 7, 20252 adults

First time full service charter customer here. I wasn’t sure what to expect but Capt. Nicolas and his wife were both very friendly. We had a slow start with little fish but the action kicked up and we maxed out with beautiful Walleye. I would highly recommend this service to anyone. Very hardworking crew kept our lines out and the action coming. Great Charter experience!

Thank you I look forward to seeing you again. I hope you enjoy the Walleye

I have been fishing the central basin of Lake Erie since 1995. I decide to charter full time after I retired in 2021. There is nothing more enjoyable than fishing the great Lakes
