Jim Swick, Captain at Swick's Sportfishing LLC

Step aboard with Swick’s Sportfishing LLC and experience why Lake Erie is known as the Walleye Capital of the World. Led by Captain Jim Swick, a lifelong angler who caught his first fish at eight years old and never looked back, these guided Lake Erie fishing charters deliver an authentic, hands-on adventure filled with excitement, education, and trophy potential.


Fishing from a 23’ North River Seahawk, you’ll head out on one of the most productive freshwater fisheries in North America. This boat is fully equipped for comfort and success, featuring a bimini and enclosed cabin for weather protection, top-of-the-line rods and reels, and dual HD live scopes that let you watch the fish react beneath the surface. Whether you’re chasing a quick limit or hoping to learn new trolling techniques, you’ll have access to the same technology and methods used by seasoned tournament anglers.


Your day will most likely involve trolling for walleye, the most efficient way to cover water and find fish. In Ohio waters, guests can troll with three rods per person—giving you more chances to hook into that perfect walleye. Capt. Jim encourages every guest to take part in the process, from setting lines to watching the sonar and reeling in your catch. He’s happy to tailor your trip to meet your goals—whether that’s learning how to use electronics, testing the North River boat, or picking up new trolling tricks.


Swick’s Sportfishing welcomes anglers of all ages and skill levels. Families are especially encouraged to come aboard for a fun and memorable day on the lake. Child-sized life vests can be prepared ahead of time, and kids are invited to reel in their own fish under Capt. Jim’s patient guidance. With friendly instruction, great gear, and a comfortable ride, this is an ideal way to introduce young anglers to fishing.


Trips range from half-day to full-day walleye charters, as well as sunset cruises and island sightseeing tours for those who want a relaxing time on the water. Every trip includes rods, reels, lures, and live bait when needed—just bring a valid Ohio fishing license, sunscreen, sunglasses, and snacks for the day.


With decades of experience and a true passion for Lake Erie’s legendary fishery, Capt. Jim ensures every guest leaves with not just fish, but stories to remember. Whether you’re a first-timer or experienced angler, your adventure with Swick’s Sportfishing LLC promises the perfect balance of fun, learning, and unbeatable walleye fishing.
