I've been fishing the western basin of Lake Erie for many years. My favorite style is drift fishing for Walleye with light tackle and high-quality St. Croix rods. After retirement from the Columbus Fire Department, I decided to take my passion for fishing and run fishing charters full-time on board a comfortable 2016 30' Sportcraft diesel.

    Great Day

    Full Day Walleye Trip – Walleye • 5 adults • 2 children

    We booked this charter last minute and we had nice time. I was hesitant because of the cold front that blew through day before but ended the day with 11 fish. We really didn’t get into the walleye grounds till after few hours on the water. We had couple younger kids on board and Captain was wanting the waves to die down little before hitting the open water. Once we got there we started catching walleye. Lots of walleye but also lot of throwbacks, which happens. There is no doubt, if captain would have taken us straight there in rougher water would have caught more walleye but wanted to make sure the younger guys enjoyed themselves. We caught bunch fish all day. We will definitely be back and book with Roger again. The other thing that I liked. We fished and didn’t troll. I would be more happy catching 10 fish than 20, with being able to cast and set the hook. You get to actually fish! Thanks again Roger for great day. Thanks to Tyler from get for cleaning our fish. We will be back!

    Fun Full Day Combo Trip

    Full Day Trip – Combo • 2 adults

    We went out with Captain Roger and his mate, Dick, on a full day combo perch/walleye trip. We had an absolute blast! We were fishing within a short time from leaving the marina, and into the perch quickly after anchoring. We all had our limits of perch after about 90 minutes, 120 total fish! We moved onto chasing walleye, managing some other types of fish along with our walleye. Capt Roger worked hard to find the fish and put us on them and Dick is a fun tour guide as we were moving between spots. And Roger's boat is very spacious, he keeps it clean, and it runs fast and smooth. We look forward to our next trip! Thank you!

    Captain Roger and first mate Dick were super friendly, very helpful and knew the waters. We had a great experience fishing with them. Would definitely recommend them and go back to them for our next charter.
