LAKE ERIE WALLEYE CHARTERS
Bring on the heat and bring on the walleye........ the walleye charter season in Ashtabula Ohio started with a bang! If you missed your Lake Erie walleye charter in 2007 you missed something which was certainly nothing short of spectacular and 2008 has proved yet to be another banner year. It seemed like the good old days as many limit catches of walleyes were coming in from the month of June and the walleye charters on Lake Erie continued to be excellent throughout the entire walleye season.
At the charter captains conference last year we were told that the 2003 Lake Erie walleye hatch was the best it had been since the heydays of the eighties. Heck, I remember those days well and I believe last year has rivaled those walleye charter days. It never ceases to amaze me on just how much Lake Erie continues to produce for our sport of walleye charter fishing. My hat is always off to the fine group of Ohio DNR people and others who year after year successfully manage our resources for the Lake Erie walleye charter fleet, the commercial fishing fleet and the general population who use this wonderful resource.
If it is walleye you are after, whether it be numbers or sheer size of our fish, join us for an exciting day of Ashtabula, Ohio Lake Erie walleye charter fishing and experience for yourself why Lake Erie waters have the reputation of being dubbed the "walleye capital of the world"
This is what people come to Ashtabula Ohio for......the catch of a lifetime and their chance at a true trophy sized walleye. Pictured is Pat Best who on a recent charter fishing outing with Fedex Freight captured this 10+ pound 31" walleye.......and this group says, "you should have seen the one that got away" I always enjoy all of your company and look forward to seeing everyone on your next walleye charter on Lake Erie.
The Tanferi's enjoy their time on Lake Erie as evidenced by their own boat in the Ashtabula Harbor. They decided to take their customers on a walleye fishing charter and the Lucky Strike was the lucky one to have them - thank you Shawn & Lanee!
Pictured is Lanee who has added this quote:
"Look at this monster captain sunshine"
Bruce Stubbs & group......wow! What a catch! I sure wish dad was around to see this. Seven fish Ohio awards (walleye over 28") This catch is another milestone that certainly isn't accomplished every day and once again enhances the reputation Ashtabula Ohio brings to the table when it comes to trophy walleye! Heck, it's certainly not accomplished in many lifetimes - congratulations!
Pictured from l-r with a fine limit of walleye are Brad Amos, Tom Richey, Dave Hoperich, Paul Amos, Jeff Amos and Ed Barnhart. Their group has this to say: "Lots of fun and excellent fishing to boot!" This was their first Lake Erie walleye charter aboard the Lucky Strike. I hope we showed them a good enough time to book their next walleye charter with us again!
Mac Chutz (2nd from left) has already celebrated his 86th birthday on the LUCKY STRIKE........and that was 2 years ago! I wish you many more Mac. Its always a pleasure to have your group aboard and allowing us the pleasure of your company and good angling.
The spectacular racks of walleye just keep coming. For those of you who have visited in the last few years all I can say is the fishing just doesn't get any better than this. Ashtabula, Ohio - wow! What a reputation! Walleye capital of the world.
.....and of course this just wouldn't be complete without a close up of that trophy walleye which Brad Amos caught and will proudly be displayed on his wall. That is some fish Brad and certainly one you won't soon forget. Year after year Ashtabula Ohio continues to be a sought out destination for excellent Lake Erie walleye fishing charters and anglers continue to find their trophy sized fish in our waters. I feel very fortunate to have anglers around the states display on their walls the true trophies they have caught on their Lucky Strike fishing charter.
Pound for pound the Ashtabula, Ohio area of Lake Erie continues to out produce other areas of the big lake. Many trophy sized walleye are taken each season and we always hope that every trip will produce one or more trophy walleyes for each charter group. This is what keeps customers coming back to our area.......healthy good sized fish in good numbers with some real "wall hanging" trophy sized fish. This just makes our customers smile :)
Larry Starr - thank you......you, your family and your friends have been showing up on our fishing charters for years. You've probably seen the good, the bad & the ugly but if I remember correctly your groups have really managed to pack the fish in the boat. How did you get these walleye with those perch boats I see in the background?
What a beautiful, beautiful trophy walleye that is! I certainly hope that it made it on someone's wall to honor the class of fish that it is. People......you could fish all of your life in inland waters of Ohio and never catch a walleye like this.
I have had people fly thousands of miles just to have the opportunity of having the chance to catch one. Congratulations for an angling job well done. It's all about the trip. I'm sure the memories of this charter will last a lifetime and catching a walleye like that will last at least another!
In Ginny's words ...."Tom Strock gave his wife Ginny credit for this pretty walleye she just couldn't bring in alone. Good team effort."
I was sure happy to hear that your group had chosen the Lucky Strike again for your walleye fishing charter........Lake Erie was happy to have had you visit and so am I - thank you! It was a pleasure to have your group aboard. What a beautiful smile Ginny and I'm proud to have the privilege of having your charter fishing picture on our site!

Art Miller and his ship "Lucky Strike" are the"BEST" on Lake Erie. On their second annual trip using the "Lucky Strike" The Maille/Schlieper family tore them up on August 4th (Left to right) Mark Maille, Ashtabula Ohio, Tom Maille Ashtabula Ohio, Don Maille Tucson Arizona, Kevin Schlieper, Erin New York, Brian Schlieper, Erin New York, and George Schlieper, Erin New York. These are just the walleye caught. We didn't have room for the White Bass and Lake Perch that were caught. THANKS TONS ART.

This is Theresa Toscano who on a recent outing with an American Legion Post 159 walleye charter found herself battling and winning a true trophy sized walleye. Theresa says, "I have bragging rights for the day....after battling heavy seas and having our trip cut short - I beat the guys today." Well I guess you did Theresa and with a fish like that who could argue. I was glad to have you back and look forward to the next time to see you.
Dave Patrick spends a lot of time on the water and we are happy to see him and his friends. It is never a dull moment on Lake Erie with this group. It's always nice to have someone with walleye charter fishing experience on Lake Erie aboard.......it gives the captain a break so he'll tip his hat & say "thank you"
Jeff Williams and friends with a nice cooler of fish. The walleye seems to have a few downfalls...... one of them is being known for excellent eating. Whether you take your catch home with you to clean or have our local fish cleaning pros clean your Lake Erie catch it's always important to keep them cold in a cooler.
Bill, Mike Jr & Sr who filled up their cooler with some dandy sized fish. Mike, be sure everyone at work gets to see these & say hello to WV from us......we have had so many Lake Erie walleye charters from people in your state over the years and we always enjoy a good time with them on the water.
Bryan left with his uncle Mike........I think we have had your family and friends on our walleye fishing charters for a few years now and let me extend my thank you to everyone.......we sure have a fun day on the water. What kind of caption do you think we can get for this picture?
Bruce Stubbs with a trophy sized walleye over 30". We got forced off the Lake Erie water today due to severe storm threats but not before we managed to get a cooler of fish for Bruce and his friends.....well guys safety is always first on our boat and I'm sure we will all be together again to do more battle with the Lake Erie walleye.
Hello Mike......sure was nice to have you aboard and manage a hefty cooler of fish today. Everything seemed to be big and this is out of the realm of normal but we'll take those big fish & be happy with what we got! Ashtabula Ohio does have that trophy walleye reputation but your charter exceeded the amount of those fish we usually bring in per charter.
The "LUCKY STRIKE" has helped many an angler capture their trophy for the wall. I believe this one now hangs in Bryan Rafferty's office who weathered the storm in uneasy water on Lake Erie to capture this prize. Thanks for your business Bryan and I am looking forward to this years walleye fishing charter you have booked.
These two ladies traveled some distance to capture their Lake Erie walleye.....all the way from Alabama! Now you can tell everyone at home that the reputation Lake Erie has as the walleye capital of the world sure holds true as you have experienced first hand.
Add another one for the girls....despite getting her up very early for this fishing trip Penny Bennett still managed a smile for this shot while holding up two nice Lake Erie walleyes. The ladies always have that uncanny ability while on our Lake Erie fishing charters to "bring home the bacon" as evidenced by pictures on this page.
Kevin Schlieper with a 30 1/2" 9 1/2 pound walleye caught on a recent Lake Erie charter fishing outing. This is a dandy size fish Kevin & you call tell all of your friends they don't come this big everyday! Lake Erie continues to take top honors for fish Ohio awards and walleye charters on Lake Erie account for many of those.
When bringing your cooler to take your catch home do not underestimate how walleyes can pack a cooler quickly.....take a look at this, a 120 quart cooler filled to the rim! I hope that your group will be the next to call for your walleye charter on Lake Erie aboard the "Lucky Strike"
When this West Virginia group makes their way to Ashtabula Ohio for their Lake Erie walleye charter beware......look at how they pack a cleaning table of fish!
Gary Roth always manages to grab the right rods. He is pictured here with a 32" 11 1/2 # walleye he caught on his walleye charter outing this year. Gary seems to always manage to land big fish and there was no controversy with this one Gary. Add it to the rest of the ones you have landed on the Lucky Strike during your Lake Erie walleye charters.
Well Jen, being offshore with the captain and a group of women like you makes me realize one thing will always remain sacred......what happens on the water stays on the water! Nice fish Jen and what a trophy walleye....... I'm sure happy to have had you ladies aboard! After you show everyone at work I hope they may seek the Lucky Strike for their next Lake Erie walleye charter.
What a pretty smile we get from Ashtabula Ohio's own Dana Lariche and what a wonderful day we had on Lake Erie. A beautiful lake combined with good fishing always helps us get smiles like this. It was funny how we met a day or so before your charter and I hope that showing you Lake Erie and what it has to offer for walleye fishing charters will always bring back fond memories of our time on the lake.
And adding to those smiles are Chuck with his son Shane who are holding up one of their walleyes and the ever acrobatic steelhead trout which they landed on their last Lake Erie walleye charter with us. Thank you Chuck once again for choosing the Lucky Strike for your walleye charter on Lake Erie and I look forward to the next time you decide to charter with us.
Mark Denmeade gets right after the task for a picture.....must have been a triple header. Nice having you again Mark. It is a pleasure to have you aboard for your walleye charter while pursuing your catch on Lake Erie. I hope you had sun tan lotion on!
Glen Hensley's charter group managed to get on some real trophy sized walleye. This walleye was a real prize for Glen and they certainly don't get over 10# everyday. Look at the girth on this fish. What a good landing job Glen, I'm sure you will remember this fish for years to come. Our walleye fishing charters on Lake Erie attract people from around the globe and its fish like this that keep them returning to Ashtabula, Ohio.
Pictured from l-r are Dave, Jackie, Steve, John and Rich from the Quality Logistics outing on Lake Erie. This group wanted to send a message that they fear no fish.....other messages may be coming and I'll post them as I'm advised. It was a pleasure everyone and I'm happy to have had you aboard. Sorry you had to miss your groups walleye charter Bryan but I'm certainly they filled you in on the details as their picture will attest to.
