There's a fish with your name on it in Lorain and Erie Escape will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Matt knows them forwards and back.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Walleye, and who knows what else! On these trips, it’s common to troll using light or heavy tackle. Sometimes when the bite is really hot, captain Matt will bust out the light tackle and cast for trophy walleye.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to keep up those energy levels!
Your boat for the day is a 26' Century walkaround with room for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is available,
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.
Don't forget to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Erie Escape.

Full Day Trip
My two brothers and I (Old guys in our 70’s) (Captain Matt’s first customers) were desperate to catch some walleyes, so we contacted Captain Matt. He was recommended by a family member, so, why not. We had fished the entire day before, and boated two shorts. So, Matt left the dock, went straight to the fish, rigged and had us catching fish immediately. We all agreed that this was the best trip we have had on Erie. If you want to catch Erie walleye I highly recommend that you give Matt a call. You won’t regret it. His boat is great, his equipment is immaculate, and he knows where the fish are, what they are hitting, how far back and at what speed. The three of us are certainly looking forward to our next chance to fish with Matt. We are thinking that we may have to book well in advance because he is going to get popular fast. Give him a call. He is a great guy, and he knows his stuff.

Matt did an incredible job hosting my son and me for a memorable morning on the lake. Matt knew what he was doing and got us on fish even on relatively challenging morning. We limited out and my son loved his first experience on lake Erie
