John Campbell
JC Sport Fishing offers professional Lake Erie fishing charters out of Fairview, PA, specializing in walleye, steelhead, and lake trout. With over 30 years of experience on the Great Lakes, Captain John provides guided fishing trips built around local knowledge, seasonal patterns, and a strong connection to Lake Erie. Whether you’re new to Great Lakes fishing or a seasoned angler, each trip is designed to be productive, comfortable, and well-organized from start to finish.
Lake Erie is widely known for its strong walleye population, and Fairview, Pennsylvania is perfectly positioned to access prime fishing areas throughout the season. Trips are available from spring through fall, starting as soon as the ice clears and continuing until freeze-up. June and July are peak months for walleye fishing, but excellent opportunities remain available in August, September, and throughout the shoulder seasons.
JC Sport Fishing focuses on private fishing charters, giving guests the full attention of the captain and the flexibility to fish at their own pace. Unlike many operations with fixed early departures, later start times are available upon request—perfect for families, travelers, or anyone who prefers a more relaxed morning. Most trips are half-day outings, with timing adjusted to match weather conditions, bite windows, and guest preferences.
All fishing gear, rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with a cooler for food and drinks. Alcohol is permitted onboard, excluding hard liquor. At the end of your trip, your catch will be professionally filleted, and freezer bags are provided for easy transport home.
If you’re looking for a Fairview PA fishing charter that combines experience, flexibility, and consistent Lake Erie action, JC Sport Fishing delivers a dependable and enjoyable Great Lakes fishing experience tailored to your group.
