Captain
Paul Snyder

Member since July 2018 Erie, United States
Background
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.
Techniques
The preferred method of fishing on my charter is trolling. Trolling allows us to take advantage of running more rods and catching more fish. All of the equipment aboard the Ditch Chicken is designed to maximize our success trolling the great lakes. Drifting and jigging would be the method used to target Perch, and jigging for Walleye can be done if the customer desires.
