Bulldog Fishing Charters invites you to experience the stunning waters of Lampe Marina in Erie, Pa and North East Community Marina. Captain Steve will be your guide, which means you'll tap into their local experience.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Walleye, and whatever else takes the bait. You can expect to do some trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! 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 'em happy!

You'll be fishing aboard a 28 foot Baha sportfishing vessel that holds up to 6 passengers. It has downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% tip is customary.

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Also we give Military, veterans, first responders, & nurses discounts!!! If you are one of these make sure to let us know when you book! Thank you for your service.

You can't go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. 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.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Bulldog Fishing Charters is just a click away.

    Awesome Day with a Great Captain

    Walleye am trip on May 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    Despite the weather and our will of still wanting to give it a try the captain still worked with us and it was a awesome day to remember caught some great fish seen a lot of great views and had good experiences to remember. I would definitely recommend this captain and his charters. I was nervous at first I’m not much of a people person but he made it a very comfortable atmosphere and it didn’t take me long at all to relax and enjoy a great vacation trip. I will be booking another soon with Steve. Thanks for everything.

    Half-day (a.m.) Spring Lake Trout trip

    on April 17, 2026

    Fabulous trip! Lifelong fisherman but i had never even seen a Lake Trout in person. Booked an A.M. trip for me and my wife, a newer fisherman. Captain Steven and his mate, also Steven, did a great job hooking us up with Lake Trout as big as 32", 15 lbs. - and also a bonus/accidental steelhead. Captain Steve is a genuinely very nice guy, from the moment you book to any/all pre-trip messages (responds quickly) to onboard instructions, etc. He treats his clients with respect, patience and kindness. Highly recommend this charter!
