Champion Charters

Yes, there is a different between catching fish and fishing with captain Steve you’re going to learn how to fish, and if you choose to help run the deck he will accommodate. Making this a well rounded experience. And we limited out 3 1/2 hours!!

August fishing can't be expected to be consistently excellent. We were very fortunate that it was very good.

Blue Monkey Charters – Fairport Harbor

Many charters expect you to take fish to local businesses to be cleaned, or do yourself. However there is a really nice cleaning station at mazurik fishing access.

Chelsea Charters

Remember to bring money for cleaning the fish if you want that done. Saved us a lot of cooler space and having to find somewhere to put the rest of the carcasses

Pork Chop Express Charters

Great fishing, in the mid-summer expect to catch a majority of walleye between 18-23”, but there is always that chance at a Lake Erie monster. You will also get a few sheepshead and possible perch here and there.

Fishhound Charters

Expect to troll and get some rod bending action! The graph had fish marks the entire time while fishing and we never went more than 15 minutes without getting a bite. Expect to catch a lot of walleye in the 15-22” range during July. The perch bite also starts to pick up in July.

Lake Erie Sportfishing Charters

Not sure about all of Conneaut, but the fishing with Ted was good. He was very friendly and easy going captain. Catching was good but Ted made the experience good. The fishing was pretty good I'd say we were in fish for 4.5 hours. Most were average size, caught a couple really nice ones. Overall a good trip and experience.

Try to hit the faster bite earlier in the season. We went on July 14th. Three of our six anglers were experienced fishermen and we really had to fish hard for seven hours to fill the cooler.
