Captain Derrow and his first mate are incredible. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He put us on the fish both days. He made us feel welcome and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and caught fish. The boat was very nice it handled the 3 foot waves very well. The equipment was top shelf was also impressed with the large selection of lures. It was by far the best charter I have ever had at lake Erie in 25 years. I would highly recommend Captain... More

Scott, that’s why I pursued charter fishing – to hook people on amazing experiences, guarantee a fin-tastic day of fishing, and make some waves in their memory banks. The feeling’s mutual, buddy; hope we can reel in another adventure like this soon.

It was a GGrandma support trip for family guys to Toledo and a first time Walleye trip to give the family boys a little break and it was a great time. Mike is a great skipper that took an early season day with three first timers on a half day and expanded it for a fullish with no additional ask to make it a total blast….......we gave Mike a good bump of course! Our two Walleye feasts for my Mother In Law’s 99th birthday and day to follow was epic and we even caught a Steelie to... More

Jim “OZ” — now that’s what I like to hear. ⚓️ Early season, bonus time on the water, walleye feasts, and a steelie? That’s a proper Lake Erie haul and a great day on the water. I truly appreciate you trusting me with your crew — it means a lot to be part of your time together out there. Looking forward to your next trip… I’ll aim to make it even better. Until then — stay hooked and keep a tight line, my friend. 🎣

Me and three of my friends were shooting a YouTube video we came from Columbus, Ohio Captain Mike was extremely communicative throughout the entire process from possibly rescheduling due to whether, to even pushing times back and even when we were on the water, he had a strong recommendations just letting us know, cause he didn’t want us to waste money if we weren’t gonna be able to catch anything. He’s filled with knowledge about the islands and in history of Ohio in general, extremely... More
