Snuck out for a few hours yesterday afternoon for a family trip and made quick work of a boat limit. Big thanks to Al Szuch Live Bait for staying open to clean our catch.
Saturday morning I had a group of 4 from Southern Ohio out for a short trip. These guys were pretty hard core, staying on the rail all morning despite the wind and rain. Saturday afternoon had a couple of guys in from the Indianapolis area celebrating the birthday of their Father in law. The afternoon started out very slow, until we found an active group of fish in the last hour, boating an additional 14 fish for the cooler. Now is the time to reserve your date on the lake this summer by giving me a call or shooting me a message at 419-367-7530.
Vacation is over and the boat is moored back at its home port. The perch fishing is getting really good and will only get better as the water starts to cool. Give me a call or shoot me a message to secure your date to get out and chase some Lake Erie gold.
The Springman family from Indiana joined me today for a morning 7 hour walleye charter. Fishing was decent, we picked at them all day.
We had an extremely busy weekend. There was a northeast wind and large mayfly hatch Friday night which made the fishing on Saturday morning very slow. I was marking fish, just couldn’t get them to bite. Sheephead with the occasional walleye kept the customers busy. We finished the day with 8 walleye.
I had a father son duo aboard today for an absolute walleye slam fest. The fish were snapping all morning. We finished with a boat limit and stayed out to play catch and release before the customers decided to call it quits 2 hours early. We fished in close to the harbor, pulling spoons behind tru trip at 2.4 sog 30’-45’ back.
Fishing in Lake Erie was an amazing experience where everyone had a blast catching walleye. The excitement was palpable as each of us successfully reeled in our own catch, adding to the day's thrill and enjoyment.
Went out on a family trip today. Of the three of us(one didn’t want to get out of bed), one of us caught our limit of perch. The other two caught half their fish. Nice grade of fish. 61 fish weighed in at 18.5lbs.

Had an absolutely great day walleye fishing with Captain Dan. His boat was spotless and he worked very hard to keep us catching. He keeps the lines in the water and the fish on the hooks!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Review for Reel Therapy Sportfishing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My brothers and I recently organized a fishing excursion charted by Reel Therapy Sportfishing as a Father’s Day gift!! Our dad/stepdad had the most incredible fishing experience and I can't praise them enough! From start to finish, the entire trip was so much fun for him and my brothers! Not only was the owner and captain of the boat, Danny, highly skilled and knowledgeable about fishing but also incredibly friendly and accommodating. He even laughed at my brother’s dumb jokes 😂😂 He made sure everyone on board felt comfortable and confident, regardless of their fishing experience. All of the fishing equipment was provided and Danny assisted with baiting hooks, etc . During planning, Danny was great regarding communication- responded to messages very quickly and answered all of my questions! Booking a date and time was incredibly simple! Beyond the fishing itself, the overall experience was unforgettable for my stepdad and brothers! They all agreed that they would highly recommend and look forward to booking again!! I highly recommend Reel Therapy Sportfishing to anyone looking for an exceptional fishing charter. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, this charter will exceed your expectations!
