First walleye catch
Full Day Casting Trip on April 12, 2026

We had an unforgettable experience out on the water! This charter made my son’s first walleye catch something we’ll be talking about for years. The crew was patient, knowledgeable, and made sure he felt confident every step of the way—from baiting the line to reeling it in. When he finally hooked that walleye, the excitement was unreal. They took the time to coach him through it instead of rushing, which made it even more special. Seeing the smile on his face when he pulled that fish into the boat was worth everything. The boat was clean, the equipment was top-notch, and the atmosphere was fun and relaxed the entire trip. If you’re looking to make memories with your kids or experience fishing at its best, this is the charter to book. We’ll definitely be back!

Captain Cody Knows Lake Erie Cold, and He’s Great With a Boat Full of Teens
3 Hour Trip – Sunset Cruise on June 7, 20266 adults

My son and five buddies, all 18, booked a three-hour trip with Captain Cody on Lake Erie and came back raving. They hauled in walleye and perch and had a blast doing it. I wasn’t there, but when six young guys all agree something was great, you listen. Cody knew right where the fish were and clearly didn’t mind a boat full of loud teens. If you want a captain who knows the lake cold and works well with a young crew, he’s your guy. Five stars from a dad who only heard the stories.

Great trip!
Half Day Casting Trip on August 10, 20264 adults2 children

Cody was a great captain! We had unfortunate timing going out after a storm, the fish just weren’t biting much. But none the less, Cody was doing his best to find spots were the fish would bite! We really appreciated his expertise and patience with our kids. He has a lovely boat and fishing equipment. We very much enjoyed our time and are hopeful to catch some big ones next trip out!

Awesome with my grandson.
3 Hour Trip – Sunset Cruise on July 13, 20261 adult1 child

Cody took my 10 year old grandson and I out for a 3 hour sunset cruise. He was very patient with my grandson which is very energetic and has the attention span of a gnat. The only downside to the trip is we didn't have any wind, so the fishing was a bit tough. We didn't limit out but had a fantastic time.

Caught a nice amount of perch on a slow day but beautiful weather. Cody knew all the best spots to try and we came home with about half our limit for the day. Would recommend!
