When you're on a Lake Erie charter with Badman Charters, you will learn the true art of sport fishing.  You can:

drift and cast -  allowing anglers to handle their own rods & reels and lures, while experiencing a variety of successful hands on techniques, tips and tricks.  

Trolling - Badman Charters are also equipped with trolling gear to be used per customers preference.  In the event of a slow day or what ever your fishing preference maybe, your charter can be successful.

Jigging - another exciting method fishing shallow water, used in the spring that allows anglers to fish their own rods while jigging lead head jigs, either anchored or drifting.       

This is truly the most exciting and fun way to spend your day on Lake Erie. You will not forget the hit of a trophy walleye.  Setting the hook into an aggressive game fish is the kind of excitement even the most experienced angler will remember for a lifetime.  

Lake Erie Walleye fishing

Badman Charters season begins as early as mid-April, weather permitting. Limited pre-spawn action for big female Walleye precedes hot action of the reefs during April, with post spawn activity usually beginning around third week of April and going strong well into the middle to end of May. The hottest periods are June and July.  From then on, Walleye activity continues to improve all summer long. 

I do what it takes to put fish in the boat while you are on your trip!  On our charters, we can use jigs, cast weight forward spinners, harnesses or troll. Being a multi-presentation charter, we are very versatile, which translates into more fish. All bait and tackle are provided for your use.

Trophy walleye charters mean spring and fall! 

Spring Walleye Fishing 

Walleye fishing begins just after the ice melts and the winter temperatures begin to fade. April begins the hunt for the trophy walleye of your dreams and runs thru early June.

Summer Walleye Fishing

June thru the end of August.  Walleye fishing during the summer is probably the most consistent for average size eaters to even some trophy sized walleyes.  Both drifting  and trolling techniques will work equally as  well.

Fall Walleye Fishing 

Starts in late August and is not to be overlooked either as it produces some of the largest catches of the year.  Drifting often works, but trolling is still the most consistent method for taking trophy walleye and larger numbers of them.

Lake Erie Yellow Perch

Yellow Perch limit is 30/day per angler

Perch fishing is good all year long!  Most day limits were taken in 5 to 6 hrs. Fish in the 8"- 10" 

range were very common, with most spring and late summer-fall thru fall catches, showing fish up to 12-14 inches.   

Yellow perch bite very light and it may take a novice awhile to get the hang of it.  Many days we get on a "hot" bite and fish go into the cooler as fast as you can reel them in, re-bait and get your line back to the fish.  So, if you are a novice or experienced angler and enjoy fishing for perch and wish to do it on a Lake Erie perch charter give me a call.

Lake Erie's perch fishing is second to none and what better way to enjoy a day on the great lakes than a Lake Erie perch charter.  These tasty fish provide good family and charter fishing fun.   All bait and tackle are provided for your use. 

Lake Erie Smallmouth Bass

Smallmouth bass anglers, don't  miss the Canadian bass opener. For serious Smallmouth Bass anglers or first- timers, during the month of July both artificials and live bait are used!   Guests will find that all your fishing needs will be meet aboard the charter boat,  Badman. With the exception of soft-shelled crayfish for smallmouth bass, all bait, lures, and even tackle, are provided by Badman Charters. There are never any hidden costs when you charter with us.

For the serious  angler, Badman Charters booked combination walleye/bass charters.  These trips are extended to provide groups with a guaranteed 10 hours fishing time to allow for angling of both species.   Reservations for extended combination trips will begin booking in mid-May.
