Hook And Ladder Charters 

Captain Jim took great care of our crew! He’s generous, knowledgeable, and humble. Thanks for showing us a great time— looking forward to the next trip.

Captain Jim impressed us from the start! He has been fishing in Lake Erie his whole life and runs his boat and equipment with finesse and precision! We had no trouble catching the Walleye’s, they just kept coming! He has great knowledge of the lake and knows right where to go! The best part was our experience from start to finish, we had a blast. So happy we found you, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Thanks Captain Jim! Edmond and Laurie

Had a Awsome time fishing with capt jim today .. couldn’t have had a better day weather wise. I’d recommend him to anyone,

It was very nice weather on shore but nautical on the lake. Since it was safe Captain Mike gave use the choice to go out or cancel. We caught fish, made some memories and had a good time.

I booked a half charter with Jim over Labor day weekend 2021. He was very family friendly and an amazing host. The day prior he called me to explain the fishing was not going well that day due to many mid week storms and offered if I wanted to cancel. I decided to move forward and not let the weather ruin our first Lake Erie trip. The morning of, he was promptly at the boat, ready to let us in on the dock right on time. He was very prepared. He mentioned the waters were rough as another storm had come through over night. As we left the dock, he kept in touch with other boats to find out where and if anything was biting. We only went out about 4 miles or so due to 3-4' waves. His top priority was safety of his passengers and fishing next. He prepared many lines for my family of 6 trying to find fish for us. We kept at it for a few hours and even though we did not bring in a large catch, he worked extremely hard even with horrible fishing conditions. About 2 or so hours in, the waves were hitting above 4' and rocking the boat. No one got sick luckily as we all enjoy the water, but the fish just were not biting well. Jim did everything he could to give us a memorable fishing experience and believe it or not, we did. We did end the trip a bit early due to the rough conditions but my wife, myself, and kids were still very pleased as it was amazing being on the lake. We will go back and try again and hopefully hit the lake when its better weather. Jim is a gracious host and will work to do what it takes to give you that memorable experience. Thank you!

Despite some adverse weather Captain Jim got us on fish and worked hard to get our limits. We would recommend this charter
