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!
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!
Great having you guys onboard. Was a good morning! Glad you guys had a good time.
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.
