second time using Angling Edge Charters such a great time. I have been on a lot of charters and Sean is really the best .especially if your taking a kid I can't say enough about his knowledge and patience thanks again I will be back.

July 26, 2025

Highly recommended. Sean was awesome and took my 9 year old under his wing sharing his fishing knowledge with him. Wasn't a dull moment on the lake. When Sean said we would catch some big bass, he wasn't kidding. I will be taking another charter with him.

July 26, 2025

Sean Firkins has boat loads of experience, extremely knowledgeable with our local WNY fisheries (and beyond), and gets on the fish like no other. He's also fantastic with kids and works hard to make sure you have an outstanding fishing experience. Highly, highly recommended.👍👍👍

July 26, 2025

We had a great time with Captain Sean doing some walleye nite fishing. He did not disappoint, we came home with 4 keepers. Great guy and even gave us some fishing tips. 😁 I highly recommend you fishing with Captain Sean

July 26, 2025

My son, son in law, and I went out to fish for walleye at night. First time for those young men but I grew up trolling Hamburg shores for them. So I thought that’s how we were going to be fishing…. Whe he said we would be jigging with plastics, I shuddered and thought, “we ain’t catching anything” … well, 11 22” walleye and half a dozen bass later, we were ecstatic! We learned a lot and Sean is a great teacher! He could tell I was skeptical but kept saying “we’ll get em!” … and get em, we did! Thank you, Sean for making a memory that will last a lifetime with me and my boys!!! You were awesome!
