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!
John and Jim were great! We were all new to charter fishing and their friendliness and knowledge made an amazing first trip. Not only did they get us to a great spot, but it was fun talking to them and getting to learn more about fishing in the area. I’d recommend this charter to anyone.

Glad everyone had a good time! Made for a great morning having you guys out fishing, lots of laughs. Hope we can do it again! Thanks for booking with Off the Isle Charters.
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!

Capt. John was phenomenal! We booked last minute and he made it happen for us. We were on fish quickly and enjoyed a beautiful morning on the lake with limits of boneless walleye filets to take home with us. Top notch, highly recommend!

Great having you guys out today and glad you had a good time! Hope to do it again! Thanks for booking with Off the Isle Charters.

Boat, equipment, and crew were fantastic. Communication with the captain was great leading up to the trip and within 30 minutes were loading fish into the boat. One of the best charters I have ever been on!

Great fishing with you and your family! Glad everyone had a good time. Hope to do it again!
