What A Catch Charters offers exciting fishing adventures on Lake Erie. Join an experienced and knowledgeable captain and have a fun and productive day on the water.

Capt. Al Smith has been mastering the waters of the Great Lake for over three decades now. He is familiar with the methods that work best in the ‘Walleye Capital of the World’ and the honey holes that produce great numbers of fish.

What A Catch and Capt. Al will take you fishing anytime from the beginning of April through October. Whichever species you have in mind, just let Capt. Al know and he will work hard to put you on fish. The list of your potential catches includes Walleye, Yellow Perch, and feisty Smallmouth Bass.

On your day out, you will be mainly concentrating on drift fishing. Capt. Al will provide you with rods, reels, and custom-made lures. All-Inclusive trips are also available with lunch boxes, drinks, fish cleaning, and a first mate to assist you throughout the adventure.

You will go out aboard an impressive Tiara boat – she actually reaches up to 34’, thanks to her 11’ 4 beam, and is made for a smooth and comfortable ride! She was built in 1994, with your comfort in mind, and has proven to be a great vessel for Lake Erie trips.

The boat comes powered by twin 300 HP Crusaders engines to get you to the fishing grounds quickly and safely. There is plenty of room for up to six anglers. You’ll be accompanied by a first mate who’ll help you out with anyything you need – it’s not required, but gratuities are more than welcome. Welcome aboard!

NOTE: 10-20% gratuity is appreciated.

Great experience for my sons and I
30' Half Day Trip – Walleye on June 26, 20253 adults
Captain Al did a great job with working around the weather and our schedule to allow my family to enjoy a great day on Lake Erie. He is very knowledgeable and a great teacher as none of us had any experience fishing for walleyes. Captain Al is very knowledgeable and had us on fish almost immediately. He is also very patient for those with young and/or inexperienced anglers.

30' Full Day Trip - Walleye/Perch on October 4, 20256 adults
This was better than anything we could have anticipated. Absolute entertainment for the whole trip. The fish we kept were amazing and the fish we threw back were a blast to catch. Captain and first mate were the perfect guides and definitely added to the trip. I couldn’t think of anything I’d have changed. People in Wisconsin will be hearing about this.
