Captain Lemon was fantastic with my little one. I would recommend this charter to anyone with kiddos. Great trip! We caught walleye and the smile on my little one’s face was priceless. Thank you Captain Lemon
Thanks Angela, I’m glad to hear he enjoyed it!
Captain Dan Lemon is the MAN!! He is easy to talk to and get along with. It felt like we were friends for years. He can run that whole charter single handedly without skipping a beat. We wanted the whole experience, including baiting the lines and sending them out, handling the fish…everything! He was such a great, patient teacher. He was especially great to our 11yo son who was hit hard with seasickness. Captain Dan knew how to help and saved the experience for our son! He ended up having a great time and can’t wait to go again with Captain Dan! He not only was he a beast with the boat and trolling but he brought attention to points of historical interest, explained the manmade structures and how they worked, knew the birds and fish so well that we walked away not only with our max of walleye each, but knowledge and reverence for the lake, its history, preservation and its inhabitants. Our friend also caught a Fish Ohio freshwater drum and that was AWESOME! Captain Dan immediately helped our friend register the fish with the state! We can’t wait to go back out with Captain Dan again and again! *The walleye was the most delicious fish we’ve ever eaten! Captain Dan also helped me pick out the right freshwater drum to take home and try. It was quite different from the walleye (more like an oily pork chop) but man, it was good!!*
Thank you Danica for the incredible review! It truly means a lot that you took the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure spending the day with your family. Seeing your son push through the seasickness and end up smiling and enjoying the trip was one of the highlights of my day. Moments like that are what make guiding so rewarding.I believe a great day on Lake Erie is about more than just catching fish. Sharing the history of the lake, its wildlife, and the incredible resource we have here is something I enjoy just as much as putting fish in the boat. Thank you again for trusting Reel Therapy Sportfishing with your adventure. I look forward to fishing with you and your family again soon!
From the moment we arrived at the dock Captain Dan made this an unforgettable experience!! I jokingly told him we were gonna catch the boat record!! We ended up with several 25 plus walleye and the biggest being over 28” and over 6 pound!! Also caught the biggest channel cat I’ve ever seen!! Great variety even tho we were targeting walleye. My son caught a monster drum as well!! The fish cleaning place said we had the biggest haul of the day!! Definitely doing it again!!!
Jesse, thank you so much for the amazing review! It was a pleasure having you and your family aboard. I'm grateful you chose Reel Therapy Sportfishing, and it means a lot to hear that you had such a memorable experience from start to finish. Creating fun, lasting memories on the water is what it's all about. I truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to having you back aboard for another great day on Lake Erie!
first time walleye fishing and first time trolling. captain Dan explained everything we were doing and allowed us to do all we wanted to. at first he did all the work but as we learned Captain Dan allowed us to do everything thing with the poles and just stepped in when we screwed up. In short Captain Dan would have done all the work and let you just reel in fish or with us he taught us the hows and let us do everything except drive the boat.
Thank you so much for the awesome review, Stephen! It was a pleasure having you aboard. I'm really glad you enjoyed your first experience trolling for walleye. My goal is to give every guest as much hands-on experience as they want, whether that's learning how to set lines, fight fish, and run the rods, or simply relaxing and enjoying the day on Lake Erie. It was great watching your confidence grow throughout the trip, and I'm happy I could be part of your first walleye adventure. Thanks again for choosing Reel Therapy Sportfishing, and I hope to fish with you again soon!
Captain Dan was excellent. It was our first charter ever and he taught us all a lot while engaging our 12 and 9 year old. Always working to get them on the fish!! He even comforted our 6yo who became nervous during some rough waters. Captain Dan was involved and constantly working to get us on the fish while being easy to talk to during slower fishing times. Would absolutely recommend him for a family fishing trip
Thanks Seth, I appreciate the kind words. Glad to hear you all enjoyed the day. Hopefully next time Mother Nature can cut us a break!
Dan has a passion for fishing and an uncanny knack to find them , He’s quick to tell you FISH ON !! and the action was awesome, We limited out on waleye with time to spare, His knowledge of the lake and the surrounding area is surprising comforting , Prepare yourself for a great day of fishing , I would absolutely refer Reel Therpy to anyone, Thank you CPT Dan
Thanks Ken, glad to hear both of you enjoyed the trip. I hope you made Brandon jealous when you showed him some pics, that’ll teach him for oversleeping!
