Captain Paul Snyder has been fishing Lake Erie his whole life. He loves to go to tournaments, especially for Walleye, Steelhead, and Lake Trout. One of his proudest achievements if winning a 2-day Pro-Am Tournament for Walleye and Steelhead. You can expect his son, Ryan, to be the first mate on board. These guys work great together and will make sure you have an unforgettable day.

Went above and beyond!

Captain Paul went to the extreme to make sure we got my girlfriend a steelhead! We stayed out through wind and rain (safely of course). He stayed out all day for us! Highly recommend. Will be using again!
