Captain Steve has been fishing Lake Erie for over 40 years and has seen the ups and downs of fishing here. But, he says: '...it is truly the most amazing fishery I've ever seen.'. And we believe him. With Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Perch, and other species available most of the year, Lake Erie is a great fishing destination. Steve also participated in tournaments for six to seven years and says his favorite fish to catch is Walleye, with Bass coming into a very close second place due to their good game quality.

    first time on a charter

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults

    my son and granddaughter had a great time. we almost limited out when others had caught only one walleye. we caught walleye, perch and a Bass. let's not forget the sheepheads that put up a good fight. the captain cleaned the fish for a small fee and did a great job.

    Grandkids loved it.

    Half Day Trip - 4:00 PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    We booked our 1st ever trip for our grandkids in May but didn't think it would be 98 degrees. They were able to catch a lot of fish in the 4 hours. Steve was very patient with our grandsons and we all enjoyed our time on the water.

    Walleye Galore

    Full Day Trip • 4 adults

    The experience with Capt. Shannon was great. Me and the other 3 fellas were very pleased with our limited catch of walleye. Capt. Shannon Rumer was very informative and his boat was the perfect size for 4 people or 6 people to fish.

    Reported catch:
    Walleye

    We took a half day morning trip and had a lot of fun. We didn't hit our limit for walleye, but still caught a ton of different kinds of fish. Thanks again!

    had our 18 fish limit in less than 2 hours! Will rebook with them next year! the 13 hour drive from Kansas was well worth it for the charter fishing alone!

What's biting with Fishhound 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.
