Your Fishing Charter

Book your next trip with Dirty 30 Lake Erie Charters and discover what keeps anglers returning to Lake Erie for more.

Local species include Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Steelhead, Lake Trout, Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Yellow Perch, and more. Fish caught during the trip are yours to take home, so long as they're within the legal limit. 

Our fleet includes 2 boats to accommodate various trips.  Both boats are fully rigged with top of the line equipment to provide you with the best experience possible.  

For our walleye trips, you will find yourself aboard a 27 foot Proline Walkaround powered by a 2019 Mercury 300.  It is fully outfitted with a top of the line fish finder, electric downriggers, and rod holders.  The boat has plenty of seating and can accommodate up to 4 guests.  It also has a nice clean restroom on board for emergencies.

Our other boat is used for bass and panfish trips and smaller parties.  It is a 2018 Ranger 620 powered by an Evinrude Etec 250hp.  The boat is fully rigged with 2 Lowrance carbons with structure scan and active target.  In addition it has a Minn Kota Ultrex 112 with spot lock, as well as all top of the line tackle to chase big smallies, crappies and walleye.  


Each person must have a valid PA fishing license and Lake Erie Permit. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's recommended to bring snacks, sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on the boat, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles. 

Now and then, the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen with Dirty 30 Lake Erie Charters! 

Dirty 30 Lake Erie Charters

Kevin while he sets rods, or just kick back and relax and get ready to reel in fish.  This is a 6 Hour trip, or until a limit is reached (6/person).  Can accommodate up to 4 guests.
