Hooked Up on Lake Erie

Jun 28, 2025 Dunkirk

Last week’s trip on Lake Erie was excellent! I had the pleasure of taking a great group of clients out for a full day of walleye fishing, and the lake absolutely delivered. We ended the day with 28 walleyes in the cooler. Everyone on the boat got in on the fun—plenty of laughs, bent rods, and a cooler full of quality eaters. It was one of those days where the lake treated us right and the fish kept coming—exactly the kind of trip we all hope for. Looking forward to more days like this as the summer bite continues to heat up!

Half Day Trip- Weekday- Erie

Matt was great, really down to earth and knowledgeable 👍🏽 Even though the weather men lied and we had an awful fight with the waves. Matt did everything he could to put a few in the boat! If you go make sure you bring a tip! It will be worth it!

Captain Matt was great. He went above and beyond to make sure we got onto the big fish. Don’t hesitate to book with Pro Charter. We will definitely be repeat clients.

Matt has a great setup to get out on the lake and catch a variety of fish. We caught about 15 lake trout as well as a lot of walleye and even a steelhead. Cannot recommend enough!
