If you are looking for a great fishing company that goes above and beyond, EyeTime Charters is your best choice. They work hard to put their clients on top of the best species Lake Erie has to offer. A day out with them is not only an exciting experience but is also a memorable adventure for anglers of all skill levels.

You only need to purchase a fishing license, bring your fishing buddies and head to Lakeside Marblehead, Ohio. There, you will step aboard a huge 34’ Baha King catamaran, which will take you exploring the beautiful Lake Erie.

This stable and fast boat comes powered by twin 320 HP Sea Max engines and can comfortably accommodate up to 6 anglers. It is equipped with modern electronics to save your time while searching for Walleye or Perch and build up a clear image of where they are hiding. Plus, it also has a restroom on board, which the lady-anglers will especially appreciate. The only thing that’s missing is you!

Enjoy a day out on the water targeting Yellow Perch, Walleye, or both. Your trip will be a light tackle trolling one, with all the necessary rods, reels, tackle, and bait provided and included in the price.

Captain Chad, the owner and operator of the company, is one of the only guides that will take you fishing the Canadian waters of the lake if the bite is better. You will only need to add a fuel surcharge and have your Canadian fishing license and passport ready.
