Experience the Thrill with Big Red’s Sport Fishing!

Join Captain Chris & Captain Ron and Big Red’s Sport Fishing for an unforgettable day on the water in Ashtabula, Ohio — one of Lake Erie’s best-kept fishing secrets. With years of sportfishing expertise and a passion for putting people on fish, Captain Chris & Captain Ron are ready to guide you on a trip you won’t forget.

These legendary waters are home to Walleye, Perch, and more. Whether you’re trolling, jigging, drifting, or casting there’s always a chance to hook into something exciting — and take home a cooler full of the best tasting fish!

Our trips are family-friendly, so bring the whole crew and enjoy some unplugged time together. We just ask that all children wear life jackets (we have a variety of sizes — feel free to ask ahead), and snacks are always a good idea to keep everyone fueled for fun.

You'll fish aboard a 23’ Steiger Craft pilothouse, outfitted for serious angling and comfort. The vessel accommodates up to 5 passengers, features the latest electronics and includes all the gear you’ll need — rods, reels, tackle, and lures.

Need a break? No problem, plenty of seating and hangout space! There’s even a toilet onboard for your convenience. A First Mate will also be onboard to assist, this gives you a more personal one-on-one guidance and an awesome learning experience! Gratuity of 10–20% is appreciated for their hard work.

Please note: Fishing licenses may be required for all anglers — check local regulations online or ask Captain Chris directly. Some species may have specific limits or tagging rules, so it's good to come prepared.

Don’t forget the essentials! Bring sunscreen (non-spray preferred), sunglasses, bottled water, and your favorite drinks (alcohol is fine in moderation — just no glass or hard liquor, please).
