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.

Fish were flying onto boat!
4 Hour Trip – July Walleye Special on July 25, 20252 adults2 children
Took my 12 year old nephew at 6am with Captain Denny! We caught our limit in about 3 hours. The Walleye were all on the larger size. They were huge and gave great fights. Captain Denny was an excellent teacher and knew exactly where to find them. He provided everything we needed for a perfect day. All the radar showed storms-we missed them all. We also caught plenty of huge freshwater drum (Sheepshead)…so huge that my nephew earned an Ohio Certificate. We caught catfish and about two dozen fish total. And for $2.50 a fish Captain Denny will even clean them. Need a change of scenery? Always thought about but never did a charter? Treat yourself to Eyepopper and make a fantastic memory. It couldn’t have been a better morning!

4 Hour Trip – July Walleye Special on July 22, 20253 adults
Captain Denny found a great spot to fish and had multiple lines out at a time to keep the fish biting. He also communicated with us before and after our trip to make sure we got the most out of our charter. We wanted to catch and eat what we caught and he arranged with a brewery nearby to cook our catch for small fee and captain Denny filet our fish so it was easy to take to restaurant. He followed up with us after dinner to ensure everything went well! Thanks for an awesome experience! Highly recommend.

Great fishing!!
4 Hour Trip – Walleye on June 8, 20254 adults
Booked a charter for my 40th birthday for me and a couple of my friends. We went several miles out and when we dropped the first line it wasn't even a minute and we started pulling in our first fish. The captain helped everyone and gave some great advice on fishing and would most definitely book with him again!!

Denny did a great job putting us on fish, taking care of our catch, and ensuring we were having fun. He was courteous, patient, and enjoyable to spend the day with. 16 keepers up to 23 inches. Denny worked with us around the waves, and we appreciated his honesty.
