Fish On Sportfishing
Fish On Sportfishing
Welcome aboard, I am Captain Mark Heckathorne.
On my charter you will get expert guidance, quality gear, and a friendly crew. Ideal for beginners and pros, it's about adventure, camaraderie, and memorable moments on the waves. Get ready for a fun day of fishing and outdoor enjoyment.
I have been fishing the waters of Lake Erie for over 20 years blending my extensive knowledge with a genuine passion for fishing. I operate out of a Tiara 3200 Open. Fully equipped with modern Garmin and Fish Hawk electronics, Cannon downriggers and rod holders, Shimano rods and reels.
Tiara Yachts are well recognized for being a spacious and stable boat when navigating the waters of Lake Erie. The boat has a full private bathroom in the cabin. I will supply bottled water and there is a small fridge and built in cooler for the food and beverage you bring on the trip, alcohol is allowed in moderation.
Children a minimum of 8yrs. old are encouraged and I have life preservers available, please let me know how many children will be on the trip.
We will be trolling for Walleye as well as the Trout/Salmon species Lake Erie provides, I will clean and bag your catch.
I typically use a mate and he works for tips, 15-20% is customary. You will need a PA fishing license as well as a Lake Erie Combo Permit, this will allow you to catch Walleye as well as Trout/Salmon species.
You will need to bring sunscreen, non-marring soled shoes, sunglasses, hat and a cooler to take your catch home in.

We can’t say enough about Mark and Ryan! They made our trip so fun and helped us all reach our limits. They made it a day to remember for our enthusiastic 11 year old fisherman. We couldn’t have picked a better charter. Boat is beautiful also! Thank you Mark and Ryan for a wonderful day! Will definitely be booking a trip again next year
Judy thank you for the review. Ryan and I had a blast fishing with your group. I love Hudson's fishing enthusiasm. Weather cooperated and so did the fish. Glad we could get everyone their limit and provide enough fillets to get you thru the winter. And a couple bonus Steelhead for the smoker. Couldn't have been a better trip for me to end my 2026 Charter season. Looking forward to seeing you next year!!
Mark and Scott were great! This was my 1st Walleye charter on Lake Erie and we were all able to limit out!
Kevin, Brett and Bill great job in rough conditions, So glad we were able to get out with the questionable wind and waves. Good limits for everyone and were able to fill some bags with tasty fillets. Look forward to future trips.
