I started back in 1976, when I bought my first boat and have been an avid fisher since. I lived right next to Lake Erie for forty years now. My main catches are Walleye, Perch, and Steelhead. The largest Walleye I have ever caught was 14lbs 32' back in 2016 and I'm ready to top my record hopefully this summer.

    Great Time!

    Full Day Trip • 5 adults

    First time out on a charter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better birthday trip for our 14-year-old! 🎣 We brought along his two buddies, and despite having to cut the trip short with a storm rolling in, it was an awesome day from start to finish. Captain Brian and Denny were fantastic. They took their time teaching us how to troll for walleye and made the whole experience fun and easy. Both were great guys and a pleasure to spend the day with. Captain Denny even cleaned the fish for us, and we wrapped up the day with family and friends and a good old-fashioned fish fry. 🐟🔥 Already looking forward to the next trip—hopefully sooner rather than later! Thanks again, guys! 🎣

    Half Day Trip • 6 adults • 2 children

    Brian was great and very well at communicating on every step to take and what to do. Brian was great with his communication and knew where to go to catch fish. there were 3 of us and we capped out on walleye catching 18. Not just that we also caught a 28.5 inch walleye, fish Ohio. All around one of the best experiences i have had thank you Brian!

    Amazing trip!

    Full Day Trip • 4 adults • 3 children

    Today’s trip was my three sons and myself. We had an amazing time! We almost hit our state limit on walleye. It felt like we were fishing with friends the whole time. We have done charters in Florida, the Carolinas, and Ohio. This one beats them all!

    I took my son out on our very first fishing charter, and I can say without hesitation—it was an absolute blast! From the moment we left the dock until we pulled back into the slip, the weather was perfect, the action was non-stop, and the memories we made will last a lifetime. Captain Danny was the heart of the trip. This man isn’t just a captain—he’s the kind of person you’d want in your inner circle. Knowledgeable, patient, funny, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He coached us through every step, celebrated each catch with us, and made sure we were learning while having the time of our lives. We were running nine poles and at times had three fish on the line at once! Walleye, white bass, and even a steelhead that put on a show—leaping out of the water multiple times before making one last dramatic escape just as we were about to net it. It was the fish that got away, but what a story it made. Even without the photo, it’s etched in our memory. We more than doubled our quota (though we released the non-keepers), and the adrenaline rush was real. It wasn’t just about catching fish—it was about the bonding, the learning, and the pure joy of being out on the water with someone who clearly loves what he does. Thank you, Captain Danny. You made our first fishing charter an experience we’ll be talking about for years to come.
