Walleye charter time!
It's that time of year to start planning your walleye charter. If cabin fever is setting in, there is nothing that could help more than a walleye trip on Lake Erie. The catching outlook is great with a lot of quality fish in the mix. We will be offering casting and trolling trips this year. Feel free to reach out and get a day reserved to go catching!
Fished with Nick and Jason out of Geneva on Friday. The bite remains fantastic, with some really nice fish in the mix, including a couple of steelhead. Dipseys with redfin, spoons, and harnesses were all effective. The 3.5 dipsey set at 180-200, 2 setting 125 to 130 and 1/2 setting 100-120 all took fish. If you are looking to fill the freezer, the fishing should remain great! I will be booking trips throughout the rest of the year with some night trips in addition.

We spent the morning fishing and had a great time catching fish nonstop. Al communicated clearly throughout the day, ensuring everything was perfectly prepared. It truly couldn’t have been a better trip. Thank you for making our Father’s Day special by spending it fishing with us.

This has to be the best charter i have ever been on. My son I where in ohio for a job and had a little bit of time to fish. called in the morning and he had us on the water that afternoon. it was really cold and Captain Johnson had a propane heater on the boat and we were comfortable the whole trip. we caught 22 fish in like two and one half hours. My son keeps bringing up how much fun he had.
