- Background
- I've been fishing the Lake Erie Islands for over 35 years and have dedicated my life to pursuing the incredible walleye fishery Lake Erie is known for. My passion for fishing started at a young age, fishing small streams and ponds with my father, and grew into a lifelong pursuit that led us to the open waters of Lake Erie. Over the years, we moved from small boats into competitive tournament fishing, where I developed advanced skills in locating and catching fish under changing conditions. Tournament experience taught me how to adapt daily and consistently put clients on fish—an approach I bring to every charter trip. I've spent more than 25 years working as a first mate on Lake Erie fishing charters, gaining hands-on knowledge of seasonal patterns, equipment, and proven techniques for targeting walleye and other popular species. FishingBooker clients can expect a captain who understands the lake and is committed to delivering results. As captain of BlackH2oDog Charters, I specialize in **Lake Erie walleye fishing charters** out of the Lake Erie Islands area, providing fully guided fishing trips for anglers of all experience levels. Whether you're booking your first trip through FishingBooker or you're a seasoned angler, my goal is to make your day safe, successful, and memorable.

Book your Lake Erie fishing charter today and experience why so many anglers choose FishingBooker to find the best trips on the water.
- Techniques
- At BlackH2oDog Charters, we specialize in Lake Erie Walleye fishing using proven, tournament-tested techniques that consistently produce results. Precision Trolling (Primary Technique) We target suspended Walleye with precision trolling, placing baits at exact depths where fish are actively feeding. Using advanced setups and repeatable patterns, we maximize efficiency and keep rods firing throughout the trip. My tournament fishing experience allows me to adapt quickly to changing conditions, often hour by hour—keeping you on the bite when others struggle. Drift & Casting (Hands-On Action) Prefer a more active approach? We also offer drift fishing and casting with worm harnesses, a highly effective and exciting way to catch Walleye. • Feel the strike in real time • Stay actively involved • Great for anglers who enjoy casting This method is perfect for those who want a more engaging, hands-on fishing experience. Family-Friendly & Beginner-Friendly Whether you're a seasoned angler or stepping on a boat for the first time, BlackH2oDog Charters is welcoming to all skill levels. • Patient instruction for beginners • Safe, relaxed environment for families • Kids and first-timers encouraged We make sure everyone is comfortable, confident, and catching fish. Teaching Charters for Boat Owners Own your own boat but want to improve your success? We offer Lake Erie teaching charters designed to shorten your learning curve. You'll learn: • Trolling setups & spread management • Electronics & fish-finding strategies • How to locate and stay on active Walleye • Patterning fish like a tournament angler This is one of the fastest ways to become more consistent on your own boat. What You Can Expect • High-percentage Walleye techniques • Hands-on coaching throughout the trip • A professional, results-driven captain • A focus on both catching fish AND learning why it works Book with Confidence When you step aboard BlackH2oDog Charters, you're not just booking a trip—you're investing in a productive, educational, and memorable Lake Erie fishing experience.
