I've been on a boat for more than 30 years. It is an honor and a privilege to be a Charter Captain. Self-employed at Aflac for 25 years. Also, I am a professional ring announcer for MMA Pro Boxing. I like all the methods used to hunt the Walleyes. Trolling is more productive but casting is an absolute blast. Just catch fish!

    Great fishing trip. I would highly recommend.

    5 Hour Trip – Walleye • 4 adults • 2 children

    This was a surprise fishing trip for my son who is absolutely obsessed with fishing. He has only ever fished for trout, bass and sun fish up until this trip. He has been asking to go fishing for catfish and that is what we did. He killed it with bringing in 15 catfish and catching his first trophy fish with a 29 ½ inch channel catfish. To say that he was was happy is an understatement. He had the greatest day ever and made memories he will never forget. Captain Paul was phenomenal. He was attentive and patient with my son whp is 12 years old. He didn't just fish for him. He taught him and told how and why he was doing it. We will 100% be booking another trip soon.

    Captain Paul is worth every penny!

    6 Hour Trip • 5 adults • 1 child

    We booked last minute and found Captain Paul to go out for catfish. Paul communicated with me right away to answer some questions we had. Our kids have never landed any fish so I was really hoping that we'd have success. Paul brought two friends of his along, who were seasoned anglers as well, and we had a blast getting to know them while we put our lines in the lake. The results - we pulled in somewhere around 40 fish over the 4 hour trip, which was an incredible outcome. Our youngest landed a 32 inch channel cat, which will qualify her for a Fish Ohio Trophy pin! Thanks to Paul, Cory, and Melinda for making this one for the record books. I've done other private charters before, and this was the best. Great crew, super knowledgeable, amazing with the kids, and the fish were practically jumping in the boat! We'll be back for sure!

    Matt thank you for your confidence in our service. I truly enjoyed watching your children catching those cats. The monster cat was great fight and your youngest did a great job bringing it in. Hope to see you all next season. Best to you all Captain Paul Schill

    Captain Paul was Exceptional!

    4 Hour Trip - 3:00 PM • 4 adults

    I took my 15 year old son and his best friend, they both have had recent personal losses, Captain Paul poured all of his kindness and expertise into these boys. He not only taught them the correct way to set up gear, real the fish in, everything was safety first! He shared with us the history of the islands and was very entertaining! We had to end our trip a little early because a storm was approaching, we all worked to get the gear in properly and quickly. He was great at doing what he does and it was a very enjoyable experience!

    Fantastic Fishing Trip

    5 Hour Trip – Walleye • 3 adults

    We booked a day of Walleye fishing, however with the weather forecast, Captain Paul suggested we stay in the bay and fish for catfish. We agreed and had a fantastic day. We caught several fish and 3 fish being simultaneously reeled in a few times. We were able to land 2 trophy sized Channel Cats. I highly recommend fishing with Captain Paul at Fishin Mission.

    Response from Captain

    Jim thank you for fishing with us. You and your crew did a great job learning how to detect the bite and setting those hooks. Great fishing today i would  guess 25 or so hit the deck today. 2 fish Ohio trophies to top it off. Looking forward to next season.. Best to you.. Captain Paul Schill

    Paul is the best!!

    Yellow Perch—1 to 4 fishermen • 3 adults • 1 child

    My two boys and I booked with Paul for a morning trip on Lake Erie. My sons have never fished in a body of water this large. Paul took the time to teach safety, the equipment and how to use properly and my sons took to his instruction immediately. In no time we were fishing and reeling them in. Paul is the best and we will certainly do this again soon.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you for fishing with us… Micah and Edward really did a great job dealing with those big fish. I look forward to fishing with you and the boys next season. Captain Paul Schill

    The weather was working against us from the start but Paul made the trip enjoyable. He was great with both of my kids and made them feel like pros when they hooked into a fish! Very knowledgable guide. I’ll hopefully be back for walleye next June.

    we caught 2 drum/sheephead and 5 catfish. wewent for walleye. captain Paul was AWESOME I just wish we could've caught more fish. my daughter got a fish of a lifetime though with a 33 inch 20 lb channel catfish on a ultralight rod. all in all it was a fun day on the lake but 7 fish in 7 hours for $500 is kinda disappointing.

What's biting with Fishin Mission Charters in Lakeside Marblehead

Walleye and Yellow Perch fishing is excellent at the beginning of the month but tends to slow down as the waters gradually begin to cool. This is also the end of the charter season on Lake Erie, and by mid-November, most boats are out of the water.
