Our family-friendly charters welcome anglers of all ages, making it a perfect outing for the whole family. Our Lake Erie fishing trips take place on a 25’ Scout vessel, designed to comfortably accommodate up to 4 guests. The boat is equipped with a fully enclosed helm, protecting adverse weather conditions, so your fishing experience remains enjoyable no matter what Mother Nature has in store.&nbsp; For avid anglers, Lake Erie offers year-round opportunities to target Walleye, starting from late March and extending through Thanksgiving, with some die-hard enthusiasts fishing into early December. Our primary fishing technique for Ohio Walleye is trolling, but we also enjoy casting and drift fishing to vary the experience. Lake Erie is renowned for its Walleye, with Fish Ohio category Walleye commonly reaching over 28" and weighing in at an impressive 9 to 13 pounds. In the coming years, you can expect the average Walleye size to be between 18" and 24". Your adventure will take you to both open waters and the hidden reef structures in shallow and deep waters. While Walleye are the stars of the show, you can also target Yellow Perch and Smallmouth Bass, making your trip even more diverse and exciting. To make your experience hassle-free, Captain David provides all the necessary fishing equipment, so there's no need to rent any gear. Simply obtain your fishing license, and bring along your preferred snacks and drinks. Our charters are open to anglers of all skill levels, and Captain David is passionate about teaching newcomers the ropes and helping everyone on board reel in a great catch. Venture out with BlackH2oDog Charters and have a great time fishing in Lake Erie! Favorite Feedback:“David took time to explain things, so I understood. 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

BlackH2oDog Charters is looking forward to a great 2023 Walleye season on Lake Erie.
