Waymaker Fishing Charter offers guided Lake Erie fishing charters out of Erie, Pennsylvania, led by Captain Sean Otis Cralley. Fishing isn’t just a job here—it’s personal. Captain Sean became a charter captain to honor his mother’s lifelong dream, turning her passion for the water into a business built on patience, respect, and unforgettable days on Lake Erie.

Operating from Lampee Marina in Erie, PA, Waymaker Fishing Charter fishes one of the most productive freshwater fisheries in North America—widely known as the Walleye Capital of the World. Depending on the season, trips target Walleye, Lake Trout, Steelhead (Rainbow Trout), Yellow Perch, and Salmon. Captain Sean uses proven trolling techniques with quality rods, reels, and tackle to give guests the best opportunity to hook into Lake Erie’s most sought-after species.

Trips are designed for anglers of all ages and experience levels. Families are always welcome, and Captain Sean is especially known for his calm, hands-on approach when teaching beginners and helping kids land their first big fish. Watching young anglers light up after a successful catch is one of the highlights of every season.

Waymaker Fishing Charter runs aboard a 26’ Hewescraft pilothouse, built for comfort and safety on open water. The boat features downriggers, modern fishing electronics, a restroom on board, an ice box, and plenty of room for up to five passengers. A first mate is also on board to assist throughout the trip, ensuring lines stay tight and guests stay comfortable.

Half-day morning and afternoon fishing trips are available, along with scenic cruises, eco tours, and sunset cruises for guests who want to experience Lake Erie beyond fishing. Peak fishing seasons include spring Lake Trout action from April through May and excellent Walleye fishing from May through October.

All rods, reels, tackle, bait, bottled water, and catch cleaning are included. Guests are responsible for purchasing a valid Pennsylvania fishing license prior to the trip.
