Background: Fishing and boating on Lake Erie was introduced to me by my dad when I was only 10 months old. Ive been boating and fishing on Lake Erie all my life with family and friends. Ive been taking friends fishing since I was 14 when I passed the boater safety coarse. Since 2006 Ive been taking friends and family walleye and perch fishing just about every weekend on Lake Erie. I love all aspects of the “Lake Erie Experience”, from the Sunrise to the sunset, getting to the right fishing spot, watching and catching fish, filleting the fish and cooking it!! My favorite species to catch is Walleye, perch and Smallmouth bass. Its always been my dream to be a competitive angler but I enjoy watching others catch fish just as much. Especially my 4 sons Jaxson, Camden, Lawson, and Weston. They are my why I do what I do everyday! USCG Licensed Captain of the 30’ Sportcraft named “Erie Sunrise” since 2024!!
Techniques: My absolute favorite is casting and jigging with harnesses and jigs, but I also really enjoy trolling for Walleye. Nothing like seeing all that gear in the water and watching those rods bend and maybe a little craziness of watching 3 or 4 others reel in fish at the same time while netting them all. Its a pretty good adrenaline rush to say the least.
