    Awesome weekend!

    AM Inshore Walleye • 4 adults

    We had a short weekend on Lake Erie and decided to give fishing with Rampage a try, and we are SO glad we did! From the moment we stepped on the boat, we had an absolute blast. Captain Rob and First Mate Justin were fantastic! Since this was our first time, they took the time to explain everything and made sure we knew what was going on. They were both incredibly friendly, helpful, and made us feel like we had been part of the crew all along, not like first-time guests. The experience was everything we hoped for with beautiful views, great company, lots of laughs, and plenty of fish! We came home with an incredible haul, and the whole experience was definitely the highlight of our weekend. If you’re considering a Lake Erie fishing trip, I highly recommend Rampage Fishing. Captain Rob and Justin made our first experience one we’ll definitely remember, and we can’t wait to do it again! Thank you, Rampage, for an amazing time! We’ll be back!

    Incredible Charter!

    AM Inshore Walleye • 4 adults

    One of my familys favorite past time is fishing for walleye and this trip really accentuated this past time and made it fun and memerable for the whole family, in a way that my family hasn’t experienced before. Rob and Justin helped us get off our traditional bank fishing for walleye and got us out on Lake Erie, where the family was able to catch their limit! Both Rob and Justin were professional at their job and made you feel very comfortable on their boat. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to expand their fishing experience out on Lake Erie with Rampage Fishing Charter.

    The Best Trip Out There!!

    Afternoon 2 Person Trip • 4 adults • 3 children

    If you book with anyone, book with Rampage Fishing and Captain Rob!! From the very beginning to the end of the day, Captain Rob and Justin go out of their way to ensure you're having an amazing time. It is very obvious they take great pride and joy in their work. We were on the fish immediately and it didn't stop until we hit our limit. There were times all 4 of us were reeling in fish and several rods ready to go when these were landed. They were so kind and took time to answer all 1,000 questions my pre-teen boys asked about fishing, the boat, and anything fish related. They made every catch exciting and rooted the kids on. We will definitely be coming back and only booking Rampage!!

    Reported catch:
    Walleye

    Perfect Day

    Morning 2 Person Trip • 2 adults

    Despite choppy and challenging conditions Capt. Rob and Justin made the day perfect. The communication about conditions and meeting logistics were well done. The Rampage Team got to work right away to get us set up for success. Capt. Rob and Justin work together in harmony like a well tuned machine. We had our limit in less than 2 hours (we threw back some smaller, cute fish). The fish were cleaned and ready to eat. I’d obviously recommend the Rampage Team with Captain Rob and Justin. The boat was a beaut handling the chop! Truly a fantastic experience! 🐠🐟

    Reported catch:

    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Jessica! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience aboard Rampage. Even with challenging conditions, Captain Rob and Justin work hard to ensure every trip is safe, enjoyable, and successful, so it means a lot to hear their efforts made a positive impact on your day. We truly appreciate your kind words about our communication, teamwork, and the boat’s performance. It was a pleasure having you aboard, and we’re glad we could help put you on fish and create a memorable day on Lake Erie. Thank you for choosing Rampage Fishing and for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back aboard again soon!

    Crew and trip BEST EVER

    Morning 2 Person Trip • 2 adults

    We booked a trip looking specifically for Walleye. Captain Rob and First Mate Justin were top notch. Caught over half our limit in the first hour. They are both very attentive to the catch as well as making sure the guests are happy. i got a little seasick and Rob tried hs best to find us fish without me turning green. These are professional anglers and fantastic people. We are coming back and not even checking out other charters. There is ONE premier charter and that is Rampage Fishing!
