Lake Erie Sportfishing Charters 

So, overall my family had a good time and we had fun catching fish even though they weren't biting a whole lot, but, some things need communicated a lot better and upfront before i could say i would come back. Our captain was Jim and he was a really nice guy but we didn't know that Jim smoked and we were never asked if that was going to be an issue before our trip, considering we obviously were all so close together in a boat and no one should have to be around that for 4 hours. Secondly, the details for our trip said we could either pay cash OR Paypal when our trip was complete, so we were going to use Paypal (who carries $500 cash on them these days?) but were informed by Jim he only takes cash. That would have been nice to know before our trip so we didn't have to flag down an ATM and then come back to pay him. Directions to the pier were foggy too, having multiple captains with boats at different places, had we not got a call the day before as to the location of Jims boat we would have been lost, especially not being a local and coming from a different state. So please clear up some things for folks before their trip.

We put our trust in Captain Dustin for our son’s birthday gift and he did not disappoint. We did a 4 hour walleye trip and it was amazing! Dustin and his 1st mate, Bob knew where to find fish and how to put them in the boat. More importantly, they devoted a lot of attention to teaching the boys how to find fish and about the fishing rigs - how they work and how to deploy them. By the half way point of the trip, my son was setting rigs out on his own, it was awesome! I very much appreciate how the capt. engaged us in the entire process. The boat, the gear, the equipment were all top notch and The crew was amazing. We caught a variety of fish, including several walleye, white perch, yellow perch, sheepshead. The trip exceeded our expectations. The only change I would consider for our next trip is to go a full day instead of a half day! Go with Capt. Dustin and do a full day trip; you wont be disappointed!

Captain Dustin was a great captain. Worked with us to explain what we were doing showed us how to do some of the set ups. Also, we ran several lines from each side with big boards was a great experience to not only fish, but also learn how to do it. Great experience for myself my son and friends. Even with a hard day while fishing as it’s warm this time of the year we still caught several fish overall including a 27 inch walleye and several other great keepers. Definitely plan to return to fish with Captain Dustin again hopefully in the spring when more fish are in the area.

Highly recommend Captain Tyler for an unforgettable fishing experience! If you have kids who want to try fishing, he’s absolutely the guide to go with. Captain Tyler is incredibly patient and knows exactly how to get the kids engaged—he teaches them in a way that’s fun, hand-in, and easy to understand. We had such a great day on the water that we have already booked an adult trip. Book with him—you won’t be disappointed!

I would highly recommend this charter to anyone. Even though the water was extremely rough during our trip the captain kept everyone safe and made sure we had a good time and caught plenty of fish. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and experienced captain to lead your group on a successful fishing trip you can't go wrong with captain Tyler.
