Thank You for considering Reel Hooked Up Fishing Charters. I am Captain Tony Yonko, and I have a passion for fishing. As a kid growing up by the lake in Erie, PA, there is no better outdoor fishing experience. I was blessed to be able to purchase a 2009 one-owner, immaculate 23' Parker Pilot House fishing machine. It is rigged with everything needed to fish offshore on Lake Erie. I have been working as a first mate for the last 4 years for some awesome charter captain friends, and decided it was time to offer trips on the Parker.

The Parker is a Pilot House enclosed cabin vessel powered by a 2026 Honda BF250 hp outboard and a 9.9 hp Yamaha kicker motor. It is equipped with a full electronics package, rod holders, downriggers, and planer boards, and is meticulously maintained. Your mate will work hard, and your catch will be cleaned and bagged at the end of the trip. Tipping the first mate is customary and appreciated.

I thoroughly enjoy taking kids fishing. My daughter grew up fishing with me on the boats, and I have several nieces and nephews who have fished with me many times. We can accommodate kids over 8 years old on your trip, and life jackets can be provided. Please be sure to purchase a Pennsylvania fishing license with the Lake Erie permit, and if targeting lake trout or steelhead, the trout combo permit is required. Be sure to bring a small cooler for drinks and snacks, sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. You can leave a larger cooler in your vehicle to put your bagged fish fillets into.

My goal is to provide you with a safe, fun, comfortable, and memorable experience. My mate and I will work hard to get you your fish and make memories along the way in doing so. Thank you for considering Reel Hooked Up Fishing Charters.

    3 Person - 2:00 PM on August 1, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Hats off to Captain Tony and first mate Lucas for an outstanding GIANT WALLEYE fishing afternoon on Lake Erie aboard Reel Hooked Up Sportfishing charter!! My son, Nate, my 8 year old grandaugher, Addie, and I limited out in just 3 hours with some HUGE WALLEYE! Family friendly, definitely a top notch fishing charter. My granddaughter couldn't stop smiling or talking about how fun it was to reel in those HUGE WALLEYE! Thanks again Captain Tony and Lucas for a very fun, memorable family fishing experience, we'll see you again next time, for sure!! Jerry, Nate and Addie

    🪝🎣 AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!!! 🎣🪝

    3 Person Walleye on July 30, 2026 • 3 adults

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!! The guys caught a boat load of Walleye! This was a gift to my husband. My brother and 83 year old Dad had such a great time! Captain Tony was very thorough with safety proceedures, and took great care of them! What a memory they have. They limited out 3 hours into the 6 hour trip!!! Saw a fantastic sunrise and truly enjoyed themselves. The fish were cleaned and filleted by the first mate and they got to keep their walleye cheeks as well! Thank you Captain Tony & First Mate Jacob!!! They’ll never forget their first charter!!!!

    A perfect trip with the boys!

    4 Person Walleye on September 12, 2026 • 4 adults

    I’ve been on many charters in my life and I have never met a captain as passionate about fishing as Captain Tony. He loved answering our questions and was a great help. My friends and I ended up hitting our limit after 1 hour and 45 mins plus we caught two additional steel head trout. We caught 27 fish total in that time frame. I would recommend this charter to anyone. Thank you, Captain Tony, for the fantastic trip!

    Captain Tony and Lucas made our latest Erie fishing experience one we won’t forget. They went above and beyond to explain the equipment we were using and how it works, create a safe and fun atmosphere, and clean and filet our fish for us! Top notch guys who genuinely love sharing their time and knowledge to help others enjoy Lake Erie fishing. I couldn’t recommend them more!!!

    2 Person Walleye on June 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    Tony and Jacob did a fantastic job wonderful people to go fishing with. They put us on the fish right away and limited out both days. Got some really nice sized walleye in the freezer bags. Will definitely go back again. If you’re looking to go fishing, they are excellent choices. Thanks again for the memories.
