Matt Barlow, Captain at Erie Escape Fishing Charters

Erie Escape Fishing Charters was founded on a lifelong love of fishing and a desire to share the experience of Lake Erie with others. Our guide is passionate about helping guests create unforgettable memories, whether it’s their first time on the water or they’re seasoned anglers looking for a great day of fishing. Specializing in walleye, perch, and steelhead, we know where to find the action and how to make every trip rewarding.


One of our favorite moments was taking a family with kids aged 9–13 on their very first fishing trip. Watching them reel in their first walleye and seeing the joy on their faces reminded us why we love what we do — every catch is a memory waiting to be made.


We offer a variety of trips designed to fit different schedules and preferences. From half-day walleye fishing to Night Bite trips starting at 9 PM, or full-day combo charters targeting multiple species, our trips are flexible and fun for all skill levels. For those who prefer a relaxing evening on the water, our sunset cruises offer a peaceful way to enjoy Lake Erie’s views.


Our boat, a 26-foot Sentury Dual Console Family Cruiser, is equipped for both fishing and comfort. With twin Yamaha 200hp outboards, it’s built for speed, stability, and a smooth ride, accommodating up to six guests. Safety and comfort are always a priority so you can focus on making memories while we handle the details.


We operate out of the Lorain Harbor Boat Club, giving quick access to prime fishing waters. Guests are encouraged to bring personal food, drinks, sunscreen, hats, and bug spray, as well as a valid Ohio fishing license, which must be purchased in advance.


Our rates are structured for both small groups and families. Whether you’re looking for a quick outing or a full-day adventure, Erie Escape offers trips that combine expert knowledge with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.


At Erie Escape Fishing Charters, our mission is simple — to deliver a great day on Lake Erie filled with fun, relaxation, and plenty of fish. We take pride in creating experiences that leave our guests with stories to share and reasons to come back again.
