    Absolute Best Walleye Charter Erie

    5 Hour Trip – Walleye (PM) • 1 adult

    Yes we caught our limits of big walleye both days, which were only 5 hour charters. But the best part is that we just had a great time. Captain kelly has great communication, the nicest boat I’ve been on , top notch gear. I just couldn’t have asked for a better time.

    Reported catch:
    Walleye

    Afternoon - Walleye • 6 adults • 3 children

    This was the best charter we have had to date. The Captain and 1st mate were top notch. They were excellent with the kids and we had no “snags.” We will be using this boat again next year.

    Reported catch:
    Walleye
    Response from Captain

    Thank you, Jim! I appreciate the very kind words and glad you guys enjoyed the trip!

    AM Walleye Fishing Trip 6/28/20

    5-6 Person Charter - AM • 6 adults

    Had the Lake Erie walleye fishing experience of a lifetime with Eriegardless Sportfishing! Captain Kelly put us on the bite right out of the gate, and kept us on it the entire day! We limited out on keeper fish (36) total ranging from 15" to 24" and tossed back another 30 that were just under legal size but should be ready for the 2021 walleye fishing season. If you've been thinking about a Lake Erie walleye fishing trip now's the time to contact Captain Kelly at Eriegardless Sportfishing!
