What anglers said about fishing in Great Lakes

Middle of the day can be tougher than the mornings, but fish eat all day and these guides know what drives them to you. Lots of knowledge and experience and it shows.

Bring a jacket because it does get cooler on the water as evening falls. We gave our kids Dramamine just to be safe. The boat was rocking enough to make the kids sleepy after a long day.

Just remember that even though it.is good fishing for Walleye the second to third week in June it's also Mayfly season. This means the Walleye have a lot to eat, so the captain can do his best but can't always control how well the Walleye are biting. Overall though it is a wonderful experience and I can't recommend it enough. It's beautiful out on the lake, the fishing is fun and a real learning experience for kids, and the best part is Walleye are good eatin'.

They should understand that fishing is variable and I believe that walleye fishing would be slow for children. Mr Wingo does have a panfish option which would be great for children

The trip out of the river to Lake Erie is a beautiful ride. Once we got out on the lake we did not have to wait long for our first fish and we caught several quality fish

Make sure you put bug spray, sunscreen before you get in the boat! We learned that the smell of it can deter fish as they are very sensitive to scents Who knew! Also highly recommend a jacket or sweater, while the sun was out not too bad but the breeze was chilly!

If the weather is too windy & you are still able to catch fish (even when nobody on other boats are being successful), you should rebook for a calmer day if you are able or persist & see what you can get in the bay. If you can wait & want the โ€œfull lakeโ€ experience with more fishing variety - rebook.

I booked this charter for my boyfriends birthday and it was more than we could have asked for! Jim was awesome, very laid back and personable. We caught small mouth, walleye, and sheepshead. This was my first charter personally and it was one for the books. As a unit we would definitely book with Jim again! Great memories were made.

Research your guide choice, ask what fish the guide is consistently catching, follow fishing reports from other guides, monitor the weather and dress appropriately show interest while fishing and stay committed to the end of the trip. My last retrieve of the day produced my bucket list fish. Take photos to remember the adventure !

Check the weather and watch for the wind direction and wind speed on the day you plan to fish. North to northwest winds above 15mph can make for a tough day.
