Eyepopper Fishing Charters offers anglers a first-class Great Lakes fishing experience on lakes Erie and Ontario. Captain Dennis Viers is a retired school teacher and past bait and tackle shop owner with over 40 years of fishing experience and charter operation on Erie and Ontario. He welcomes families, children, business clients, and friend groups, to join him on the Eyepopper and create a fish story of a lifetime!
The vessel you'll be fishing from is a 27' Sport-Craft boat, powered by a 380 HP Chevrolet/MerCruiser engine (2023). Equipped with state of the art electronics such as dual radio, GPS system with plotter and autopilot features, and a fish finder – she has all the equipment you could possibly need for a productive day on the water. On board, you'll also find a private toilet, and plenty of room for up to 6 anglers to fish comfortably at the same time.
All fishing tackle is also top-notch, and is kept in first-class condition. You'll be equipped with world-class Shakespeare and Cabela Planer Board and Dipsy Diver rods, with Daiwa reels. You'll also have access to a variety of bait such as nightcrawlers, artificial lures, and artificial jigs.
All trips last until the group catches their daily limit, or until the full 7 hours pass. Depending on the day, a group may only take 2.5 hours to fully load up on fish. Other times it may take the whole day. According to regulations fishermen can cooler 6 Walleye per person, per day.
The only thing you should pack is a small cooler with drinks and snacks. Beer is also allowed, however, no glass bottles. If you so chose, the captain can customize your fishing trip to include additional services like lodging, on board food, fish cleaning, and mounting.
All guests over the age of 16 will also need to purchase a fishing license. The easiest place to do this is on ODNR website online.

We booked a 7-hour walleye charter on July 25. Captain Dennis was very personable, knowledgeable and very patient with my 10-year-old grandson. He put us on fish quickly. We had fish on before he got all of the lines out. We were after 4 limits and he stuck with it until that was accomplished, then cleaned our fish at the dock. Other anglers were coming in empty handed. My son and I have been on many Lake Erie charters and we both agreed that this one was by far the most enjjoyable that we've ever experienced.
I agree that the charter was enjoyable. Im very glad to work with this crew. Hope to see you again soon. Tight lines!
Had an great late October trip and caught some huge Walleye. Captain Denny and first mate Bryan were great showing the kids the ropes and we were rewarded with a ton of fish and an awesome day of memories!
Great crew. Cant wait to see them next season. The boys had a great day! So did mom and dad!!
Our group of 6 (3 adults, 3 12 year olds) had a great time! Captain Denny was extremely knowledgeable and was willing to teach our group, as it was our 1st charter experience. We caught quite a bit of Walleye, including 2 Fish Ohio fish. The boat and equipment were perfect for a great day of fishing. I'd highly recommend Captain Denny!
We consistently caught Walleye throughout our afternoon trip. Denny was excellent working with the grandkids and was extremely coordinated with the trolling setup and bringing the fish in to the boat. We all had a great time and would highly recommend Denny with EyePopper fishing! It truly was a wonderful experience.
Captain Denny got us on fish right away! We had a great catch even though we chose to cut the trip short due to a couple family members who were sea sick. He was very kind and accommodating. Great with our kids, 11yo, 15yo, 17yo
Very nice family, a shame a couple of them didnt feel well. They also donated part of their catch to some of my neighbors. Very appreciated! Thanks again…
