CAPTAIN DUSTIN = Local Knowledge and Experience of Lake Erie
Highly recommend this start-up fishing charter company with Captain Dustin. Very patient, knowledgeable about the lake and fish in it, and uses unique fishing techniques that get the job done.
Our first ever Father’s Day fishing charter boat trip was an amazing success. Initially, we were catching lots of sheep head fish, and it took some time to find the walleye – but find it we did! Near the end, my husband reeled in the biggest fish he’s ever caught before – a 24inch walleye! We came off the boat with 20 fish: 12 walleye, 2 white bass, and 6 sheep heads. We did put several sheep heads back, so could’ve easily rolled in with 30 fish.
Hoping to make this an annual outing for our family. If you’re looking to support local small business entrepreneurs, this would be it.
SOME THINGS I HAD TO KEEP IN MIND ON THE BOAT:
*It’s a FISHING boat, so don’t bother bringing a book, blanket, or any other type of sun lounging stuff. Sadly, I didn’t get the chance to be a lady of leisure on the boat that day. :o)
*If I did it over again, I would limit ourselves to bringing just one soft insulated cooler bag on the boat for beverages, and well, maybe one small tote or travel bag. Also be sure to bring at least one large empty cooler to leave in your vehicle for putting fish into when you’re done.
*Use the Roadside Stop restrooms along Hwy 2 prior to getting on the boat, and pace yourself with beverage intake while out on the boat.
Great Fishing Trip
Had a great fishing trip with Dustin! He is very knowledgeable and allows you to get involved as much as you want when it comes to the setup and everything else that comes with fishing. We caught lots of walleyes, perch, white bass and drum/sheepshead. We had a group of 4 including a 10 year old and Dustin is very accommodating to children. We brought home a total of 43 pounds of walleye and caught around 40 total fish in 7 hours of fishing. Many fish were lost at boat as well.
5 Stars for Captain Dustin
I’ve went fishing on Captain Dustin’s charter several times. He’s always been very kind and welcoming to me and his customers. Rather than treating them as customers, he treats them like good friends. He is very passionate about putting customers on fish and does his best to get their limits every time. While on his charter, I’ve never had a bad experience and would recommend him to anyone who wishes to take a charter on the lake.
Friendly, helpful, professional, and fun!
Dustin is an excellent captain, great with kids, and goes out of his way to make your day better! He is patient and knowledgeable, and happy to explain anything you want to know. We wanted to set the lines, hook and reel, and even net our own fish, and he let us do all that and more! We had a great day!
Fantastic in every way!
Great trip for me and my son. Could not have been more happy with the trip. Family friendly for sure. Felt like we were fishing with friends we have known for a long time.
