    Walleye Trips

    For: 1–4 anglers per tripWhen: April to November

    Private five-hour walleye charter on Lake Erie. Departures shift with the fish: Sarnia Bay Marina in spring and fall, Port Glasgow through summer. Each trip runs five hours or ends when the boat hits its limit — whichever comes first. Fish cleaning is included in the standard price; a no-cleaning rate is published for anglers who prefer to handle their own catch. Boat carries Lowrance Active Target sonar and a Motorguide Xi5 trolling motor.

    1–2 people $449.99 ($424.99 no cleaning); 3 people $524.99 ($499.99 no cleaning); 4 people $599.99 ($549.99 no cleaning)

    Perch Trips

    For: 1–4 anglers per tripWhen: End of September through October

    A late-season Lake Erie perch fishery worked out of Collins Harbour Marina at Long Point. Five-hour format on the same 2024 Lund Alaskan rig used for the walleye program. Fish cleaning is included on the standard price; the no-cleaning rate is held back for anglers handling their own fillets. Runs end of September into October, when the Long Point perch are concentrated and the weather windows narrow.

    1–2 people $524.99 ($424.99 no cleaning); 3 people $624.99 ($499.99 no cleaning); 4 people $699.99 ($549.99 no cleaning)

    Walk-Ons

    For: Solo anglers — one walk-on seat per outing, up to two non-affiliated guests on the boatWhen: Specific dates throughout season

    A solo-angler seat on a shared boat: one walk-on guest joins up to one other unrelated angler for a five-hour trip or until the limit is caught. Availability lands on specific dates across the season and is announced through the Walk-On and Discounted Trip mailing list. The format matches the private charters — same boat, same waters, same finish line — at a per-seat rate rather than a whole-boat rate.

    $179.99 with fish cleaning; $149.99 without

    Onboard Fishing Seminar

    For: Anglers wanting technique instructionWhen: Contact for details

    A four-hour onboard seminar focused on a single technique per session — jigging, casting, or trolling. Price includes up to three hours of round-trip travel, so the boat can launch from a water body that fits the technique being taught rather than the next charter on the calendar.
