Lake Erie Bass Fishing with Capt Jonathan
Lake Erie Bass Fishing with Capt Jonathan
Ready to cast a line in Erie? Capt Jonathan is here to make it happen!
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Freshwater Drum, and plenty more.
On the day of your trip you're likely to troll using light or heavy tackle. Capt Jonathan also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
Any fish within the legal limit are yours to take home.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks for a boost of energy when needed!
You'll find yourself aboard a 21' Ranger bass boat with space for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.
You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. 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.
Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Bottled water will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Your trip with Capt Jonathan is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Tim Hockensmith5.0VerifiedCapt Johnathan was Great Guy, Guide & Captain ! Rough waters but we caught some fish.
6 Hour Trip (6:30AM) on September 19, 2025 • 2 adultsHe gave us a heads up about conditions ahead of time, w/ rollers at 630 am, w/ forecast to get a bit rough. But we went, and we caught some nice smallies, biggest 19-20" 4-11 and a 16-17" 3-8, a walleye, gobies and a zebra mussel-LOL.... We' already decided we'll use him again for sure, Erie or Okeechobee !

4 Hour Trip (6:30AM) on June 7, 2025 • 4 adultsCaptain Jonthan knows his stuff. Everyone was more than please with his assistance and knowledge about fishing. He made sure everyone was involved and everyone caught fishes larger than ever before. We were impressed with his knowledge on of lake, and he knew where the fishes were biting.

Thomas Miller4.7VerifiedSlow but steady
6 Hour Trip (12PM) on May 12, 2025 • 2 adultsThe fish were not jumping in the boat, but Jonathan put us on some quality fish. The biggest smallmouth of the day was 5 pounds 7 ounces!!! That’s a PR for me.
