Summer Bandit Charters

Oak Harbor, United States
10+ reviews
Captain Paul has been fishing this lake for 30 years. A lot of his friends are captains, so he started his career working for them as a first mate. He decided to become a captain himself and got his license in 2018. Having beginners on the boat is something he loves, showing them how to fish on Lake Erie and teaching them his techniques. Introducing kids to the world of fishing has been his passion his whole life.

    Best charter I’ve ever been on

    7 Hour 3 person Trip (PM) • 3 adults

    I have gone on charters all around North America, and this was by far the best one I’ve ever been on. They went above and beyond getting us on fish. They have an incredible state of the art boat and equipment. I’m looking forward to next time

    Happy return customer

    We love this charter service and have used them for a few years now. The boats are very nice and clean. We have had fished with several of their captains and they have all been fun, knowledgeable, and helpful. We have caught our limit each time we have gone out. We plan to continue to use Summer Bandit Charters for our fishing trips on Lake Erie!!

    Reported catch:
    Walleye

    This was our 5th year booking charters with Summer Bandit. This is a trip my family looks forward to every year. Hands down my favorite fishing charter. The crew is super knowledgeable, will treat you like family and get you on some good fish! We won't fish with any other charter!

    Great experience

    7 Hour 3 person Trip (PM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    Paul was our captain. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable at the same time. He worked very hard to keep our lines in the water. We nearly limited out with the three of us. I would highly recommend Paul if you want to have a great day fishing.

    Response from Charter operator

    Thanks I had a lot of fun.

    We expected to catch a few barely-legal sized walleye. Instead we caught our limit and only two walleye were under 20 inches. My wife caught a 29 incher. Paul was great and helpful in getting our fish to the cleaning station, since we were totally unprepared for the success that we had. Our captain, Dave, kept the trip fun and us informed abut what to expect. I'm bragging to my fishing friends in Cincinnati that they need to fish Lake Erie instead of Canada. We're going back to Oak Harbor in 2 weeks and have already booked a Summer Bandit charter with Captain Dave.
