Lake Erie Fishing Guides -Versus- Charter Captains- There is a difference.

A Charter Captain: has to pass a written exam by the U.S. Coast Guard. The exam cover all areas of operating a boat to include: Navigation, Handling, Rules of the road, Weather and general seamen ship. To take the exam the coast guard requires proof of experience operating a boat.

Nothing about fishing is on the test.

Lake Erie Guides are experienced Fisherman. They know how to catch the species that are available. Capt. Dave and Capt. Jeff knows their habits, locations, and what turns them on. They know the how, the when and the where. They are also teachers. They will teach you their techniques to catch fish. We understand how weather affects the targeted fish. We are experienced in using all the tools of the trade to catch fish. Techniques such as jigging, cast and drift, anchoring, and trolling may be employed. A note about trolling: On days when there is no wind to move the boat, trolling can be and is a very effective way to catch fish. We prefer the cast and drift technique, but when the weather doesn't cooperate, trolling is the difference between taking fish home or not. A good many charter captains are either too lazy, don't want to learn, or won't spend the fuel money necessary to troll. They will tell you trolling is not fishing! Let me tell you this; on calm days they either come in with a pitiful catch or get skunked. We believe it is necessary to have all the capabilities to get my customers their fish. With boats like the "Coe Vanna I or II," equipped for every situation and captains experienced in every thinkable technique, you are virtually assured a memorable experience.
Most good Guides were fishing long before they obtained their Charter License.
