The Badman welcomes families, that includes children!

The Badman is an experienced, full-time charter service with 38 years of boating and fishing experience. You can also expect that the captain will always try to give anglers a full day of fishing on Lake Erie, even if it means locating additional species.

Successful enough to limit early on your charter?

The Badman Charter policy has always been if we finish early only on a walleye charter, you can spend the rest of your time fishing for other species or decide if you want to return to the dock for an early departure.

Get ready for your fishing trip with Badman Charters as we fish our way into both Ohio and Canadian waters near Pelee Island for walleyes. As a veteran charter captain, you will be kept busy and having fun. For those individuals who would need fishing licenses, the cost of Ohio fishing licenses is reasonable.

Badman Charters works hard to get your fish

Badman Charters is always very diligent when considering being successful every time 'The Badman' leaves the dock. The Badman policy isn't to look for a quick limit catch and immediately bring you back to the dock. Badman Charters makes every effort to keep you on the water for the best chance of landing a limit.

The veteran or novice Lake Erie angler will have opportunities for instruction to succeed in hooking and landing their walleye. Any individuals who may not be knowledgeable can learn the proper techniques for casting and retrieving by being taught these skills. One will find that multiple techniques will give everyone a chance to hook and land a trophy Lake Erie walleye.

As you may have read, sometimes we try different areas of the lake. For those individuals who might need fishing licenses, the cost of Ohio fishing licenses is reasonable. Badman Charters has also made that job easier for you!

We were here on May 7. The fishing was slow- nobody was having a great day. The captain worked his butt off to keep us on top of fish. We finally came in with the best harvest that I saw reported on the lake that day. 24 walleye weighing in at 82 lbs! A great experience! All aspects of Badman Charters is fun, entertaining, and geared to allow the best fish catching opportunities available. THANK YOU Badman Charters. We WILL be back!!

We were out with Badman last Saturday(May 29th) and had a great day on the lake, Joe worked his ass off which enabled us to pull in our limit. Hope to go out again soon as catch another cooler full of walleye with him.
