Patience Pays Off

Half Day Trip3 adults1 child

Captain Greg was a very well-prepared, knowledgeable, and amiable fishing guide. He informed us on the various types of fish that had been caught in Lake Erie and made sure that we went to different locations if the fish weren't biting. He kept telling our son that, "Patience pays off, keep doing what you're doing." Ultimately the trip ended with the three of us catching numerous fish and our son being able to land a stunning 7 lb. orange-colored drum and I brought in a 4.5 lb. small-mouthed bass. It was a great trip and worth the investment.

Response from Captain

Thanks for the great review. It was my pleasure to host such a beautiful family. You and Justina deserve credit for raising a very nice young man! One of the toughest bites this season yet you all managed to get quality fish. Thanks again.

    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!

    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!

    May fishing trip

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    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!!
