No Charter service I’ve ever hired did that before.”- Greg E. About me:It all started with my dad. My best memories involved waking up early, being down to the docks to catch the sun rise, heading out past the Lake Erie Islands and spending the day together chasing walleye. Now I love helping other people create those memories with their own family and friends.- Captain David Faller
