About Your Trip

If you've been searching for the Walleye trip of a lifetime, look no further. Captain Charles is an expert when it comes to fishing Lake Erie for these famous gamefish, and he'll make sure that you and yours have a blast and catch 'em up.

On this trip, you'll be casting out for "wallhanger" Walleye, throwing a variety of lures to draw bites. Depending on the time of year, there are a several different techniques to choose from. In the spring, you'll employ diving crank baits that can find Walleye down in the deep, cold water. Towards the middle of the summer, you'll focus on trolling for Walleye using custom inline planer boards that Captain Charles built himself! This is an exciting (and chaotic) way to fish when multiple rods start bending at once.
As the season progresses, you'll move with the fish, sometimes “up the middle” towards the Canadian boarder, or east well in view of Cedar Point. At this point, you may switch to spoons or crawler harnesses depending on what's getting the bite.

Walleye aren't known for being huge fighters, but they're some of the best-eating freshwater fish out there, and they're super fun for anglers of all levels. There's truly no better way to catch a monster specimen than this trip with Captain Charles!

You'll get out there aboard his 27' Sportcraft sportfisher, a beautiful boat that's ideal for trolling. She runs a 300-HP engine so you'll be out there in the blink of an eye, and has plenty of amenities to keep you comfortable. You'll be provided with everything you need for a blue-ribbon fishing trip; all you need to bring is proper clothing for the weather, your Ohio fishing licenses, and a good attitude!

Captain Charles writes: "Even as a boy in Michigan, I fished every opportunity I had, whether from my dad’s boat or in my uncle’s farm pond. With decades of experience fishing the Great Lakes, I can say there is no better place for Walleye and Perch. I have my USCG Captains License and the Ohio Guide License. I take both your enjoyment and safety seriously, and for that reason I choose to limit my trips to 1 to 4 people for Walleye charters, and up to 6 people for Perch. This gives me the best opportunity to not just get everyone directly involved but to also educate my clients on the secrets of fishing the Erie Islands and the methodologies to how we fish. It also means there is room for everyone to be safe, especially in those periods where the fish are hitting and the lines are popping! I particularly enjoy working for families and the opportunity to get someone’s son or daughter as excited about fishing as I am. My commitment to safety also means that I have a zero-tolerance drug policy, and while my guests are welcome to bring beer, extreme inebriation on the water is inherently unsafe and will likely mean the end of your trip.

I am committed to my clients having a successful trip; even on Lake Erie the fish can be fickle. I will keep working until I find the right spot, the right depths, the right lures that are the magic combination that day."
