Captain Tim is USCG Licensed, a State of Michigan Licensed Paramedic, Michigan and Ohio guide,  inspected and insured.

Why Charter?

Charter fishing is not only more fun in a group, it's affordable! A person can charter many times a year for a fraction of the cost of outfitting and maintaining a large boat. Fishing with an experienced guide on th Western Basin of Lake Erie ensures the greatest potential of catching your limit with maximum safety. A guide's knowledge about fishing locations, tackle, and which techniques to employ increases the probability of catching fish. The Captain will do everything possible to make your trip memorable. Although fishing on  Lake Erie is usually excellent, no guide or service can guarantee everyone will catch a limit. Fishing is one sport the whole family can enjoy whether you catch one or your limit. Charters also make a special Father's (or Mother's!) Day trip, birthday gift, and a fun outing for the office or clients!
