Catawba Island Fishing Reports

I recommend to ask for captain Mike the boat tail chaser. He’s very professional excellent fisherman and he knows what the hell he’s doing. I would go with Mike again and again. Thanks, Mike. Sincerely Jen Blackwood.

If this is your first fishing trip here I would highly recommend booking a day or two out with Captain Terrance. He knows the best area to fish and catch fish. He is safe, friendly, funny and knowledgeable of the local area.

Research your guide if it’s your first test me. We used planer boards with our guide and repeated that on our own boat. Took us a bit longer, but had a great time fishing.

Make damn sure you booked with Captain Frank Sherry & South if Heaven Guide Service.

Great catch Lake Erie Perch 9/16/21. Waves and wind seemed to unlock more bites!

Be ready for great action. Even though it was raining we caught a cooler full and had a blast catching and releasing many large fish.

Don't bring too young of children it may be a rough trip but for the adult a very good fishing experience!

Fish bite when they bite, do not expect to fill the boat. Be grateful for what you do catch.

Use a charter service like Billy D’s to give yourself a better chance of catching fish

As I said earlier, if you want to catch fish, Charles always knows where they are and how to catch them

See my review of Captain Paul Schill and Fishin' Mission charters. The residents of Lakeside Marblehead were very friendly and considerate.

If it’s going to be a windy day bring a jacket. It got cooler the further we went out.

Have layers of clothes Listen to your captain of whats working to catch the fish

Yes but pay attention to the upcoming weather and be flexible. Even though we were not able to it would have been easier on all of us., Mr. Hughes and Carol were great.

The size of the boat and the engine largely determines how fast and how far you can go during your time. We plan to come back in June next year, instead of July.

Definitely!!!! That catfishing is of superior quality. For numbers.... And average size.

The weather is unpredictable. Our day of perch fishing was great. But we had a second trip for walleye booked that got canceled because of thunderstorms.

Pay a little money to get the experience you want. Cheaper definitely doesn’t mean better in this case.

We fished out of Catawba Island, not Oak Harbor. The Captain recently moved his boat out of Oak Harbor.

Definitely book with Captain Steve Rumer. This will be fun, and exciting! He puts you on the fish.
