Schultz Sportfishing Charter offers year-round trips for Trophy Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Yellow Perch, King Salmon, Steelhead, Lake Trout and Brown Trout. You can fish on Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, the Niagara River and the Niagara Bar in the western New York area.

Come and enjoy one of the world's finest year-round multi-species fisheries out of a fully equipped 2023 Skeeter WX2060F powered by a 250SHO Yamaha engine. This boat can tackle anything Lake Erie and surrounding waters throw at it. It also features a Minn Kota 108 Terrova Trolling motor with I-Pilot, as well as all Humminbird electronics that will lead you to the most productive fishing spots. 

You will fish with one of the best guides in the area – Barry Schultz. He is a professional guide who has been working in this area for 24 years and has fished all over the New York state since he was just a little boy. He cares deeply about the local fisheries and will teach you how to fish responsibly by a method he calls CPR - Catch, Picture, Release.

Schultz Sportfishing Charter provides all the baits and top quality tackle including rods and reels. Captain Barry will also advise you where you can purchase your fishing license and which restaurants will cook your catch best.

Fish cleaning is available for Walleye, Salmon, and Trout, whereas Smallmouth Bass trips are Catch and Release only. You can also have your Yellow Perch cleaned, but you'll have to come in early to allow for their cleaning time as you can expect to catch 50-150 on an average day of fishing.

Angling Adventures with Schultz Sportfishing Charter will allow you to catch great fish and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the serene Lake Erie and the surrounding area. Just pick a date and have fun!

    Fishing with Barry

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 22, 2020 • 1 adult

    I had never caught a walleye. But I knew immediately that we would, that day. Literally caught the first one AND my 2nd moments apart. ‘Doubled up’, he called it... The perch, and trout were just an added bonus. I’d recommend this to anyone. He has the knowledge, and equipment to catch pretty much whatever you’re looking for 👍

    This was a no catch trip.. which is always disappointing but happens, we were disappointed as we stayed the same location basically for 4 hrs and only 2 so called bites as we would of gladly loved to have tried another area for a different target of fish.. we were game for any species of fish as long as we caught and one comment that got us was well since we had no luck here my next group will definitely be more inshore.. anyways we fish alot and yes some are new species being targeted but any catch is better than no catch..
