Hoping to cast a line in Port Clinton? Then Tartar Sauce Charters has a trip with your name on it! Your guide for the day is Captain Steven, giving you access to their professional experience.
Around here it's common to catch Walleye, Yellow Perch, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and more if conditions allow.
For these species, you're likely to troll.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!
You'll be dropping lines from a 28' Aluminum fishing with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. 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.
Some essentials to bring are a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, time to hit the water with Tartar Sauce Charters!
