If you're looking for a trusted Lake Erie fishing charter in Port Clinton, Ohio, The Fins Charter Services delivers a focused, comfortable, and productive day on the water. Captain Andrew Slawinski has spent his life along the lakeshore and knows the Western Basin reef complex inside and out. His experience and local knowledge help guests stay on active fish while enjoying a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere.

Port Clinton is known as the Walleye Capital of the World, and Lake Erie’s nutrient-rich waters support excellent populations of yellow perch and walleye. Whether you're planning a half day perch fishing trip or a full day walleye fishing charter, Captain Andrew tailors each outing to current conditions, seasonal patterns, and your group’s goals. Techniques may include drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or light tackle presentations depending on the bite.

Trips run aboard a 27’ cuddy cabin built for comfort and safety, accommodating up to four guests. The vessel is equipped with quality rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and an onboard toilet for convenience. Families are welcome, and kids love reeling in perch while learning about the lake. Safety is always a priority, and properly sized life vests are required for children.

Peak season runs from July through September when perch fishing is at its strongest and walleye action remains steady. Captain Andrew specializes in perch fishing and focuses on creating an easygoing environment with no pressure—just steady lines and time well spent on the water. Many guests return each season for limit trips and consistent results.

In addition to fishing charters, The Fins Charter Services also offers full-day island cruises, sunset cruises, and birdwatching trips to West Sister Island. These non-fishing options are perfect for families or guests who want to enjoy Lake Erie’s scenery, historic landmarks, and wildlife from the water.

Before your trip, be sure to secure a valid Ohio fishing license. Bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and snacks. Alcohol is permitted in moderation, excluding glass bottles and hard liquor.
