Unforgettable Family Fun Charter

4 Hour Trip4 adults2 children

We had an unforgettable experience fishing with Captain Paul on Fishin Mission Charter in Sandusky Bay! From the moment we stepped on the boat, Paul made the day fun, smooth, and exciting—especially for the kids. The catfish were biting nonstop, and our boys each caught a trophy-sized fish—29.5” and 31.5”! Altogether, we probably reeled in about 20 fish! We also brought our 6-month-old along, and Paul couldn’t have been kinder. He got such a kick out of the kids fishing (and our baby girl spectating). He was so welcoming and made sure everyone—from the littlest passenger to the most competitive fisherman—had a great time. Captain Paul was patient, knowledgeable, and clearly loves what he does. We released all the fish, but still came home feeling like we’d made the best catch of the day. Highly recommend Fishin Mission Charter for a fun, family-friendly fishing trip. We’ll definitely be booking again!

    Captain Paul is worth every penny!

    6 Hour Trip • 5 adults • 1 child

    We booked last minute and found Captain Paul to go out for catfish. Paul communicated with me right away to answer some questions we had. Our kids have never landed any fish so I was really hoping that we'd have success. Paul brought two friends of his along, who were seasoned anglers as well, and we had a blast getting to know them while we put our lines in the lake. The results - we pulled in somewhere around 40 fish over the 4 hour trip, which was an incredible outcome. Our youngest landed a 32 inch channel cat, which will qualify her for a Fish Ohio Trophy pin! Thanks to Paul, Cory, and Melinda for making this one for the record books. I've done other private charters before, and this was the best. Great crew, super knowledgeable, amazing with the kids, and the fish were practically jumping in the boat! We'll be back for sure!

    Matt thank you for your confidence in our service. I truly enjoyed watching your children catching those cats. The monster cat was great fight and your youngest did a great job bringing it in. Hope to see you all next season. Best to you all Captain Paul Schill

    Captain Paul was Exceptional!

    4 Hour Trip - 3:00 PM • 4 adults

    I took my 15 year old son and his best friend, they both have had recent personal losses, Captain Paul poured all of his kindness and expertise into these boys. He not only taught them the correct way to set up gear, real the fish in, everything was safety first! He shared with us the history of the islands and was very entertaining! We had to end our trip a little early because a storm was approaching, we all worked to get the gear in properly and quickly. He was great at doing what he does and it was a very enjoyable experience!
