Member since October 2018 Oak Harbor, United States
Background
I’ve fished Lake Erie all my life. I’m currently 58, and my fondest childhood memories are of fishing Lake Erie. I enjoy seeing others having the opportunity to fish this amazing lake. I've spent all of my adult life married and raising two girls. My favorite charter trips are those that are with families and kids. I like to take the time to educate and show those who may not know how to fish. If you want hands-on fishing that’s what you’ll get aboard the Endeavor.
Techniques
Our primary focus is Walleye. We are equipped to troll or cast. Trolling spoons or crankbaits. Drifting and casting worms on worm harnesses. In the early spring April and May we vertical jig for Walleye.

HOTEL RESERVATIONS
HOTEL RESERVATIONS
Mar 2, 2021 Oak Harbor
I would like to thank all the people who fished with me last season. I hope that you had a good time . I just wanted folks that were going to make hotel reservationist keep this fact in mind. The cancellation policies of booking companies are usually different than the hotel itself. Its good to know what the cancelation policy is where your going to stay. I will call clients 3 days before there trip to discuss the weather. sometimes we have to cancel or reschedule a trip. Most hotel chains will cancel at no charge 48 hours prior to your arrival. Booking companies sometimes require 7days or more. Airbnb can be a good alternative to hotels also , hope you find this tip helpful.
