Angler's choice

100+ reviews

Captain Keith grew up fishing both Bass and Walleye tournaments on Lake Erie and many other lakes across the United States. To put it simply, he's caught enough fish to last a lifetime, but the smiles he sees on others' faces after catching Walleye far outweigh the thrill of chasing the tournament scene. Although he may still fish a tournament from time to time, he'd much rather take someone out fishing for their first Walleye or Perch – especially kids – and see their reaction as they reel it in and finally get their hands on one. There's nothing like it, in his opinion, and he hopes that Lake Erie will continue to bless him with this opportunity.

6 Hour PM Trolling Trip
6 Hour Walleye Trolling (PM) on August 21, 2026 • 4 adults
This was by far one of the best experiences that i have had out on a Charter. We had 4 people in the group and 2 of us have never been nor caught a Walleye before. Captain Bronson was very knowledgeable and about the Lake and where we had to go, to get on the bite. The bite was a tough one so we didnt get a boat limit but we were able to get on some fish. We left a happy customers and will likely return at another point where we can hopefully get on a boat load of fish. All 4 of us caught fish and the Captian made sure of that. There is a reason why they call it FISHING and thats because you are never guaranteed to limit every time that you hit the water. We are just thankful that we didnt have to leave empty handed. Untilnext time good fishing and make those memories with the Family or even Friends.

The excellent Captain Keith
4 Hour Walleye Trolling (PM) on September 5, 2026 • 2 adults
We had a great trip and caught many fish. The swells were 4 to 6 feet due to winds. He said he would take us out a little to feel the waves at no charge and see if we were comfortable with it, it was our call and we said go. We were glad we did. Going out and coming in was rough but the fishing in between made up for it. We caught walleye, sheaphead (drum) and perch. Captain Keith was very customer focused about a pleasant experience and trip value. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future.

Great trip
4hr Walleye Sunset Slam on May 2, 2026 • 3 adults
Had an amazing experience on this fishing charter from start to finish. The captain and crew were professional, friendly, and clearly knew exactly where to go to find fish. They made everything easy, from setting up the gear to helping reel in some great catches, and were patient with everyone on board regardless of experience level. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. You can tell they genuinely care about giving people a great time, not just getting through the trip. We caught more fish than expected and had a lot of fun doing it. Overall, it was a perfect mix of relaxation and excitement. I’d absolutely recommend this charter to anyone looking for a great day on the water and would book again without hesitation.

4hr Walleye Sunset Slam on August 1, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child
Took my daughter out for her first charter on her birthday and captain explained everything to her and coached us to success. We were catching fish and he put us on some lunkers! We had the time of our life catching them. He even stopped at the lighthouse for a picture. He was the captain ofa life time memory and made that memory extraordinary!

Best trip ever!
4 Hour Walleye Trolling (PM) on June 16, 2026 • 2 adults
Captain Bronson was wonderful! He kept us engaged, helped these two old farts have a great time. We caught (and released) about 30 fish. One was a brim and I think all the rest were walleye. The water was a bit choppy and Captain Bronson handled it like a pro! I highly recommend Cedric Allen of Lorain.
