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’ Sportcraft 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 Diawa 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.
