Makin’ Memories Fishing Charters invites you to join their Lake Erie trophy Walleye, Yellow Perch, and Steelhead fishing trips. Lake Erie is known as the Capital of Walleye and produces the finest specimens of this species year-round. Captain Jim Fishel, who has chased trophy fish since he was a boy with his father, will take you to the best spots where the best fish can be found.

The Makin’ Memories team will take you fishing aboard Makin’ Memories, a 30’ Cherokee offshore sportfishing boat with 12’ beams. The deck of the boat is so spacious it can carry six guests and crew comfortably. You and your group will enjoy a secure, relaxing, and pleasurable ride. The boat is equipped state of the art fishing and navigation equipment. 

Captain Jim Fishel has many great stories about the days of the “Blue Pike” that were caught on Lake Erie. His passion drives him to track the Walleye migration as it passes by the Port of Conneaut. He has over 60 years of fishing experience on the Great Lakes.

In 1991, Captain Jim Fishel teamed up with Captain Jim Holtzman, and since then, this dynamic duo has been running trips from daylight to dark, whenever the fish are biting. This fishing tag team has over 100 years of Great Lakes experience together!

Makin’ Memories Fishing Charters will include live bait, lures, rods, reels, and tackle on your trip. At an additional charge, your catch can be cleaned and filleted for you by the local bait shops once the trip is over.

Book today to experience the awesome fishery that Lake Erie has to offer!
