When the unexpected came up, John could have just canceled but he made sure it didn’t get in the way of our plans! Great morning of fishing with a courteous and professional crew whose company I wouldve enjoyed even if we did not hit our limit by 9am. My 12 year okd fisherman had an amazing experience. I hope we get another visit to Erie in our future and if we do, we’ll be contacting Captain John!
My 11 year old son is an avid fisherman who has always wanted to catch a walleye. For his birthday i got him a charter with Captain John and his first mate Jim to help achieve that dream. What a wonderful time we had. We caught our limit , it was a beautiful calm day and gave my son a lifetime memory. Much credit goes to Captain John and Jim who did everything to make sure my sons trip was a memorable one. As soon as we got into the truck to go home my son says, dad can we do that again.? Will definitely use Off the Isle Charters again.
Great day on the Lake Erie, glad you guys had fun. That was a perfect birthday gift for your son. Glad we got to break him in on walleye fishing! Thanks for booking with Off the Isle Charters. Hope we can do it again!
Captain John was great. Not only an experienced fisherman but also one who’s experienced on Lake Erie. We wanted walleye. And boy we got walleye. He kept in contact especially since the weather was iffy but it held out and we had a very successful day. Saw us coming in and texted us where he was. I don’t think we were even out for a half hour and Fish On and caught our fill by 10am. He expertly cleaned and filleted them. Nice boat. Clean. Couldn’t ask for more. We grabbed a few business cards for friends and family. Highly recommend. Really nice man. Easy to get along with. Thanks Captain John. Hope to see you next summer
It was great having you guys onboard. Glad you had a good time. Thank you, and yes, hope we can do it again!
Charter was awesome. Great communication. Captain John had us on the bite the whole time. Captain was very knowledgeable, and put us on the fish. His equipment and boat were great. We caught our limit within a few hours and had a great time!
