Lake Erie

Lake Erie, shallowest of the five Great Lakes, was the first to be formed by the massive glaciers of the last ice age, but the last to be discovered by European explorers. The reason for this is that it's fertile waters were fiercely guarded by the Iroquois natives that inhabited it's shores. Lake Erie remains a world class fishery to this day. The tributary fed water of the Western and Central Basins hold millions of Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch, not to mention countless other less sought after species. Whether you choose to target Walleye, Smallmouth, or Yellow Perch, our captains know how to find the fish and can teach you the techniques to bring them to the boat. A fabulous Lake Erie fishing adventure with the Pirates awaits you!

The Pirate Fleet consists of three boats rigged with state-of-the-art equipment. These charter vessels are among the finest on the Great Lakes. They are not only larger than most, they are safe, swift, and spacious. They incorporate the newest, most advanced electronic technology with top-flight fishing tackle. All are equipped with stand-up head facilities and are laid out for your comfort and convenience. The Western basin of Lake Erie offers some of the fastest action anywhere in the world for walleye, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch. Fish with the Pirate Team and learn why Lake Erie is known as "The Walleye Capital of the World" and rapidly becoming the bastion of smallmouth fishing in North America. You will undoubtedly find this to be the best freshwater fishing experience you have ever had.
