 Suppose you're looking for a fishing experience that combines excitement, challenge, and a healthy dose of relaxation. In that case, Lake Erie walleye fishing delivers all three with Captain Dan Auria and Spooled Up Charters.

Lake Erie Fishing with Spooled Up Charters

This is a special family memory with my grandsons that I will have forever. Our four-hour trip started at 3:30 p.m. from Barcelona Harbor, out of Westfield, New York. We caught our walleye limit in just over 3 hours in 80 to 90 feet of water, thanks to Captain Dan.

Lake Erie is one of the most productive freshwater lakes in North America, and Captain Dan Auria of Spooled Up Charters knows where the fish are.

Cooking some walleye

Everyone was a bit hungry when we got home. Jamie came over with some Shake-N-Bake and fried up some of our catch. 
Yes, we were eating fresh walleye at 9:00 PM.

After the trip, Captain Dan takes the time to fillet your fish and pack it in ice. So, bring a cooler with ice for after your trip to bring home your catch. You will also want to bring a small cooler with some snacks and drinks.

  1. Fresh caught fish, especially those you catch yourself, taste better than anything else! Your charter fishing trip on Lake Eric with your grandsons sounds like such great fun and definitely a lifetime memory-maker. (Can't believe how grown-up Bobby & Tyler are now. :)

    As a youngster I remember going fishing with my dad on Star Lake in the NY Adirondacks, going out in the boat before dawn and coming back with fresh caught fish for breakfast. Mainly perch and sunfish. Never has anything ever tasted so good!

  3. What a fabulous adventure! It has been years since I fished. I have no doubt Lake Erie would be an awesome fishing lake. The charter with Captain Dan Auria sounds like the perfect way to go. Knowing the best fishing spots is always a plus and how awesome to have someone clean and filet you fish for you.
