Captain Ben Patkus grew up in Port Burwell, ON and spent most of his childhood fishing Lake Erie. He fell in love with the nature in his backyard and became fascinated with the diversity of wildlife that this area hosts. Over the decades, he's become an expert in targeting Perch, Trout, Pickerel, and many other freshwater species. He specializes in trolling and knows all the best feeding spots to have you on fish in no time! Capt. Ben puts safety above everything else. He's Transport Canada certified in MEDA3, SVOP, Marine First Aid, and CPR and his boat is fully equipped with all the necessary safety gear you'd need for a safe and stress-free trip.

    Great trip

    Walleye Charter 1/2 day • 6 adults

    If you’re looking to have the full experience charter this is your guy! Had a little experience down rigging in the past but this added a whole new element to the fun! Dig right in setting lines checking things actually doing some work so your more involved. We had a great time with Ben and will be doing it again.

    Reported catch:
    Walleye
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

    Amazing day on the lake

    6 Hour Trip – Weekend (AM) • 4 adults

    We decided to go on the lake fishing for our anniversary, we found the fish whisperer out of Port Burwell. Ben was great, his boat is large and perfect for fishing on the lake. Ben knows his stuff and has state of the art equipment. We highly recommend. We can't wait to do this again.
