Top notch experience all around, sweet boat that’s roomy, handles well, and runs pretty fast. The Marina he’s in is excellent, clean bathrooms, easy close parking, and very nice docks. Captain Mike had it figured out, we didn’t have time to get all rods out, no time to eat a sandwich, no time for a drink….it was fish after fish until we hit the limit of 36 walleye at about 10:30am. Capt. Mike was great with my kids, and Wife, and I can’t imagine using another charter on Erie,... Meer

If you want a charter where the captain is friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, you want to charter with The Rodfather! He was great with our kids, and he taught us so much about walleye fishing on Lake Erie. It was an excellent experience. You won’t be disappointed!! We didn’t even get our first pole down the line before a walleye hit it. Captain Mike knows where to go to catch them! There was hardly a time when we weren’t reeling them in.

First time out trolling, Captain Mike was patient and took time to explain everything. Caught our limit for Walleye in under a few hours. Boat was nice, didn’t go in the Cubby cabin, but the option was there if needed for a restroom break. I recommend looking Rodfather on Facebook and messaging on there to get in touch with Captain Mike for availability. If you want live bait, you’ll have to pay separately for that, for trolling, he provides everything you’d need. He allows drinks and snacks,... Meer

It was the first time trolling for all of us, and only one of us had been on Lake Erire before. Captain Mike trained us all on what to do and we had a blast being the “crew”. We caught our limit and everyone wants to come back. I would tell anyone to give the Rodfather a call if they want to go fishing on Lake Erie!

I have been out on Lake Erie before but this was the best ever, the captain shared a lot of his knowledge with me so when I go out on his boat again I will know what to do.
