Welcome aboard, I am Captain Mark Heckathorne.

On my charter you will get expert guidance, quality gear, and a friendly crew. Ideal for beginners and pros, it’s about adventure, camaraderie, and memorable moments on the waves. Get ready for a fun day of fishing and outdoor enjoyment.

I have been fishing the waters of Lake Erie for over 20 years blending my extensive knowledge with a genuine passion for fishing. I operate out of a Tiara 3200 Open. Fully equipped with modern Garmin and Fish Hawk electronics, Cannon downriggers and rod holders, Shimano rods and reels.

Tiara Yachts are well recognized for being a spacious and stable boat when navigating the waters of Lake Erie. The boat has a full private bathroom in the cabin. I will supply bottled water and there is a small fridge and built in cooler for the food and beverage you bring on the trip, alcohol is allowed in moderation.

Children a minimum of 8yrs. old are encouraged and I have life preservers available, please let me know how many children will be on the trip.

We will be trolling for Walleye as well as the Trout/Salmon species Lake Erie provides, I will clean and bag your catch.

I typically use a mate and he works for tips, 15-20% is customary. You will need a PA fishing license as well as a Lake Erie Combo Permit, this will allow you to catch Walleye as well as Trout/Salmon species.

You will need to bring sunscreen, non-marring soled shoes, sunglasses, hat and a cooler to take your catch home in.
