    Great Fishing Trip

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    My friend and I booked a fishing trip with Captain Greg for October 7th. Captain Greg was available for communication from the time of booking, the day of the fishing trip and even after the fishing trip. He was watching the weather and informed me that it would be better to have a flexible schedule due to the wind factor and that was a great suggestion,because it was much better on 6th of October when we went. The engagement that Captain Greg gave us was well appreciated and enjoyable. He talked about the different types of fish, gave us some history as it related to Lake Erie, shared stories from his past clients, and took us to different fishing spots to ensure that we were able to catch some fish. He was knowledgeable on things in the area and we had a great time laughing and just being ourselves. So much so that we’re planning another fishing trip next year. Thank you Captain Greg for everything. The fishing trip was definitely in the top three things that we liked during our vacation in Niagara Falls.

    Response from Captain

    Glad you had a great time! It was easily as much fun for me! You both were fun and easy to be with as evidenced by the laughter we shared. Thank you again for booking and the kind words you shared. I look forward to future adventures.

    Having a local expert guide you makes all the difference!!

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults

    Booked a half day trip with Buffalo Bassman Charters. Couldn't have asked for a more friendly knowledgeable guide. Bluebird skys and light wind presented a challenge to catch fish but Craig was able to get us on some nice smallmouth fairly quickly. Katy had never fished or even been out on a boat was happy to catch a real dandy that fought hard. A slow bite was overcome by persistence and changing locations. We all caught fish and twords the end I caught a pb 6lb 10oz walleye. Can't recommend Craig enough. Absolutely did a great job getting us on fish and instructing how to detect and hook these picky bites. We will be back to fish beautiful Lake Erie with our new friend Craig!

    Reported catch:
    Smallmouth Bass
    Freshwater Drum
    Walleye

    Great morning on the water!

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had a great trip with Captain Greg this morning. He obviously knew where the fish were and what bait worked best as we were on them early and the bite was consistent. Caught a bunch of nice Smallmouth and landed several large drums and even a Walleye. He was great with my boys who are 13 and 9 and just a generally great guy to talk to and fish with. I highly recommend him and I know we will use him again!

    Reported catch:
    Smallmouth Bass
    Walleye
    Freshwater Drum
    Response from Captain

    Thanks for the kind words Paul. i had every bit as much fun as your boys! The fish make me look like I know what I’m doing sometimes! I hope we fish together in the future. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

    Captain Greg gave us such an amazing experience! He was very good at teaching us fishing skills on Lake Erie. He told the best stories and made it so there was always conversation. This trip is great for anyone that is up for a good time fishing or looking to learn how to fish. We will be booking with him again in the future and will be taking other people as well!!

19 Keepers and Smallmouth Action

Sep 11, 2026 • Buffalo
Kentucky Seasoned! Bill and Barb visited our area from Kentucky and hopped on board the Ol Stump Jumper. Bill had never eaten yellow perch and reslly wanted to. Although we didn’t have the proper bait or the preferred location we gave it a go. Weeding through the smaller fish, we managed 19 keeper sized! Barbjoined in that fun and both anglers caught several decent smallmouth as well!

8th Birthday Bash on Erie!

Aug 20, 2026 • Buffalo
CJ’s 8th Birthday was a huge success. This kid is one heck of a fisherman despite his age! Very smart, funny and respectful young man who listen to instructions and hammered some beauties! Gradma got him this gift, he brought along his mom and prceeded to have him a big day on the water. Started off with a decent drum, caught several outstanding smallmouth and ended the day with a drum over half as tall as he was! His mom Ashley refused to let him have all the fun catching several giant bass herself along the way. All in all a great day on the water.
