I started fishing at Lake Erie in 1978 on the western end of the lake (Port Clinton area). At that time, I had a 21' boat and took friends out every weekend to fish for Walleye and Perch. I left Port Clinton in 1985 and headed to Conneaut, Ohio. In 2004, I bought a 28' Baha boat and continued fun fishing. In 2010, I bought my 30' Cherokee boat and, shortly after, obtained my captain's license and started my charter business. Now I am having fun every day chasing Walleye on beautiful Lake Erie!

    Perfect day on the lake

    7 Hour Trip – Dock to Dock or Limit • 4 adults

    We couldn't have asked for better weather out on the lake, and the fishing turned out to be just as great. Despite a nearby tournament, captain Jim and his mate, captain Mike, did an amazing job keeping us on quality fish all morning. We had a fish in the box after 30 seconds of dropping the first rod, and a limit by 9am. We will book a trip again with, It's About Time Charters, whenever we decide make the drive again from the eastern shore of Maryland and Delaware. Thanks a lot captain Jim and Mike.

    Captain Jimmy & Mike are the BEST! My Husband, 89 year old Mom & I had an exciting fishing trip. We caught our limit in 2 hrs. This is our 2nd time using (It's about Time Charters). These experienced Captain's know their stuff. They go above & beyond to get you fish. Our freezer is full of walleye filets. Thank you so much.

    We were concerned about the weather for Saturday morning. But, somehow Captain Jimmy delivered a perfect day. Six of us limited out in 3 hours. Not a drop of rain.
