If you're looking for an action packed fishing trip, you've found it!   Smallmouth bass jump, dive, twist and turn making them the hardest fighting fish in Lake Erie.

Tube Baits, crankbaits, spinners and live bait

Bounce soft plastics and throw many of your favorite lipped crankbaits for bottom dwelling and suspended smallies.  Remember to keep it simple in your presentation......!

 

Many Lake Erie charters use exclusively live bait.  Badman Charters knows how effective certain soft-plastics can be and on many days when targeting Smallmouth bass, we rely totally on artificials during the early season.  

 

Anytime when live bait has to be used, minnows many times are the bait of choice.  There aren't many days on Lake Erie that a "fish" bite is slow.  In the event soft craws have to be used, anglers will know the extra cost and get what is needed for a successful charter trip.
