When you want to fill your cooler with delicious fish and have the best time doing it, turn to Reef Bobber Fishing Charters! Located in Lakeside Marblehead, Captain Brad Miller and his wife run this operation that also offers comfortable fishing lodges.

You will be casting your line out of a 28’ cuddy cabin with a 275 HP Chrysler engine and plenty of space to seat up to 6 anglers. The boat sports an 11’ beam and a convertible top to keep you safe from the elements, because the weather on western Lake Erie can be fickle. There’s an enclosed porta potty on board, so you will travel and fish in full comfort.

To get your catch into the boat, you’ll have quality Pflueger and Daiwa fishing equipment, and your guide will provide live bait and an assortment of lures, as well.

Walleye and Yellow Perch are the primary targets on the waters, and both their quantity and quality is excellent. To go after Perch, you will use minnow-tipped hooks and this is fun for both adults and little ones.

You will be casting and drifting to catch Walleye that will fight you with everything they’ve got as you reel them in. After the trip, your catch will be cleaned and filleted for you free of charge, so that you can bring it home for dinner.

You’re welcome to come aboard with kids, they will have the best time learning how to get their first fish into the boat. Capt. Brad will have life jackets for everyone, so your safety is covered as well.

Capt. Brad will take care of everything fishing-related, it’s up to you to show up with a valid fishing license, drinks, and snacks.

Let Reef Bobber Fishing Charters put you on some excellent fishing action that will make it hard to come back to land!
