Why should you book with us?
We realize that you have many choices when it comes to Lake Erie Fishing Charters. For over 15 years, we have
listened to our customers comments and requests and used that feedback to put together the Premier Lake Erie Fishing
Charter group!
No where else will you find a fleet offering all of the following:
☺ - Larger, more comfortable boats! Our boats range in size from 34' to 44', with an extra 3' to 5' of width over
your typical 25' to 30' charter boats.
☺ - Top Quality Fishing Gear - All gear is provided! We use Shimano Talora™ rods equipped with
Okuma™ reels. You'll appreciate the difference!
☺ - We Go The Distance! - Sometimes you need to travel a little further to get to the good fishing! Yes, it
burns more fuel. Yes, it costs us more. But we want that limit of fish as bad as you do! Maybe even more! You'd be
surprised at how many others won't seem to make the run some days.
☺ - Family Friendly - Fun and friendly atmosphere on a vessel that's far more accommodating to the women and
children in our lives!
☺ - Experience! Experience! Experience! - The crew of the Pirate Clipper, along with the other
captains in our network have decades upon decades of combined experience. Even with 160+ million walleye in the lake right
now, some days the fishing is not easy, and it's this combined experience and sharing of knowledge that can make the difference!
