10 Reasons to book your Lake Erie Fishing Charter with us:
>> BIGGER BOAT - Your average Lake Erie charter boat weighs about 8,000 lbs. The 'Pirate Clipper' weighs in at about 30,000 lbs., and at nearly 42' overall, makes her the second largest full-time private charter boat on the lake. This means a smoother, safer, and more comfortable ride for you.
>> Full-Time Charter Operation - We fish 7 days a week. This lets us keep up with the constant movement of the fish. Also, weekday fishing on Lake Erie is extremely productive and enjoyable due to the greatly reduced boat traffic and fishing pressure.
>> 50+ Years Combined Experience - let Capt. Eric Litton and Mate D.J. Kitchen or Mate Jon Miley's years of fishing experience provide you with an incredible Lake Erie fishing charter.
>> Top Quality Fishing Gear - All gear is provided to NO EXTRA COST! We use Shimano Talora™ rods equipped with Okuma Convector™ reels. You'll appreciate the difference!
>> Fully Enclosed Salon - provides complete protection from the weather. Don't let a 15 minute rain shower ruin your whole day by getting soaked! Enjoy our climate controlled interior, comfortable seating, full galley, and fresh coffee. Also, a flat panel TV and DVD player, perfect for groups with children who would prefer to watch cartoons or movies while the rest of the group catches fish!
>> Full Private Bathroom Facilities - Ladies especially will appreciate our full bathroom, with electric flush toilet, and hot/cold fresh water system. Even for the men, our bathroom facilities onboard are far superior to a bucket on the deck!
>> Participation - We're not out there to 'do it all for you'. We want to teach you how we successfully and consistently pull limits of Lake Erie Walleye. We're there to guide you through the process of lure and depth selection, setting rods, recognizing strikes and hook-ups, and fighting the fish all the way to the net. As my First Mate likes to say, "This ain't the Little Jon Fishing Show!"
>> Easy Boarding - for anyone with limited mobility, step aboard easily through our dock-height tuna door, with only minimal step heights onto the rear deck and into the salon.
>> Location - Port Clinton / Marblehead / Lake Erie Islands = The Walleye Capital of the World! The sheer number and size of the fish here are not found anywhere else in the world. Docked at Anchors Away Marina, we're only minutes from the lake. On shore, we're only minutes from numerous restaurants and attractions, including Marblehead Lighthouse, Cedar Point, and ferry service to all of the islands.
>> Results - Take a look at our Photo Gallery pages for photos of our catch. Nobody can promise you a limit catch every time out on the water, but our consistent quality catch rates speak for themselves. I promise that no one tries harder for you than we do! Look at our catch photos and decide for yourself!

F.A.Q.'s
Q. How many people can I bring?
A. Like almost all Great Lakes and Near Coastal Charters, we can carry up to 6 (six) passengers per boat. Groups larger than 6 require additional boats. Besides, can you imagine how crowded a boat would be if you had 10 or 12 people on board?
Q. What if we don't have 6 people? Is it cheaper?
A. No, the price does not change. Boats do not care how many people you load on, they will suck fuel at a blistering rate! 4 to 6 people is an ideal group size per boat.
Q. What time to we depart in the morning?
A. Our suggestion is always prior to sunrise, however, we will agree upon a departure time prior to your trip. Don't worry, we won't leave without you!
Q. Is smoking allowed on the boat?
A. Yes, as long as we're talking about legal tobacco products, not that wacky stuff! Smoking is permitted OUTSIDE, but not in the cabin!
Q. What should we bring?
A. I have an entire page dedicated to this topic. Please see our What to Bring page.
