Captain Sean Cralley, I have been fishing Lake Erie for 32 years. We run trips out of Lampe Marina Erie Pa, aboard a 27' Hewescraft Aluminum fishing boat. Using trolling and other techniques, you'll have a chance to catch Steelhead, Lake Trout, Walleye and Perch We clean and bag your catch. The only way to learn is to join us on the water.
My mom who has since passed, was my greatest inspiration for me to become a Charter boat Captain. Her dream was to always be a Charter boat Captain. I can't think of a better way to honor her life and dream. If you need to contact me about any availability or special accommodations please call. Thank you for your support.

5 Hour Trip, • 2 adultsSean with Waymaker was absolutely wonderful to work with! My husband and I had such an amazing experience from start to finish. He was incredibly patient with us and made sure we had a great time the entire trip. We didn’t even make it out of the parking lot before we were already looking at dates to book another trip with him! Sean knew exactly where the best fishing spots were and worked with us around the weather to make sure we had the best experience possible. He also took the time to answer our many questions—not only about fishing, but about the boat and all the fishing terms and vocabulary we weren’t familiar with. He never made us feel rushed or silly for asking questions. What really stood out was how personable he was. We didn’t just feel like customers on a charter—we genuinely enjoyed getting to know him. We spent time talking about our families, hobbies, and jobs, which made the whole trip feel relaxed and enjoyable. It felt more like spending the day fishing with a friend than simply booking a trip. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient captain who truly cares about making your trip memorable, Sean with Waymaker is the one to book. We can’t wait to come back and fish with him again! 🎣

first time on a charter!!
Evening Walleye Trip • 2 adultsI booked this trip as a surprise for my husband for Father’s Day. We had a great time. We caught our limit on Walleye. We couldn’t of asked for a better day! Sean and Rene (1st mate) were fantastic. Did not make it feel like they were running a business. It felt like a group of friends out on the lake. They were so willing to explain everything and how the rigs worked. The fact that we limited out surprised us. Just did not know what to expect. Definitely recommend them if you want to have a great time and feel like your fishing with friends.
Response from CaptainIt was great having you both aboard, and I had a great time getting to know you both, looking forward to your next trip on Waymaker.

Morning trip - 10:30 AM • 2 adultsWould 100% recommend. The conditions were choppy with 3-4 ft swells but Sean had us on fish within 10 minutes of the first line in the water. With the help of first mate Rene, we had our 2 man limit within 4 hours. A amazing, affordable, experience with Waymaker Fishing Charters!!

Morning trip • 2 adultsHad a great day with captain Sean and Renny. Me and a buddy were first timers on Erie. These guys are very talented and friendly too. Will definitely fish with them again. Only way ill look for someone else is if they are unavailable.
Response from CaptainGlad we could make your first trip on Lake Erie a great one. Look forward to having you aboard again.

Morning trip - 10:30 AM • 2 adultsSean and Rene were great. They got us on big walleye and had us a limit in no time. Rene also gave us a history lesson of the light houses around the area. Anybody who wants to catch fish, should book Waymaker Fishing Charter.
Response from CaptainIt was great having you aboard. Great memories and friendships were made. Looking forward to duck season.
