The Lake Erie Walleye fishery is world famous and is known as the Walleye Capital of the World. Perch fishing in the late summer and fall provides a lot of action as the limit of Lake Erie perch is currently 30 per person. The smallmouth fishery is one of the best in the midwest if not in the entire country. Smallmouth are a great game fish and offer a very feisty fight.

We custom make most of our lures and make them with the highest quality parts. We also offer executive trips which includes a hardy box lunch, beverages, fish cleaning and a first mate to help make your day as enjoyable as possible.
