    Crew was great and the fishing was awesome

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    The captain and his first mate were absolutely awesome. Very personable and was so flexible with the weather forecasts and actual availability for us. They don’t just set things and then let you reel in, if you ask questions, they will answer them so you can learn as you go. Filleted our fish for a bit extra which was super helpful as we were up for the weekend and this was our first exursion. Large enough boat that I wasn’t nervous being up and moving around (not a fan of water). Will def come back again!

    Great trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Dave and first mate Derek put us on the fish. Limited out, including a nice 26” that my nephew caught. Had a great time, definitely recommend this charter.

    What an amazing half day we had out on Lake Erie! Dave knew exactly where to take us and had an awesome setup for catching walleye. I would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone who is looking to have a great fishing experience out on the lake. 5 stars all around to Dave and the great time he provided for us.

    Decided last minute to book a half day walleye charter with Captain Dave for my two teenage boys and one of their friends. We all had an amazing time! Dave took his time to explain everything to the boys and all of them caught some decent size walleye! The kids had a blast and it’s all they’ve been talking about. Can’t wait to book another trip! We will definitely be booking again with Unreel! Thanks again for a wonderful day out on the lake!
