Resuming fishing charters in Canadian waters on Lake Erie around Pelee Island for smallmouth bass and walleye charters
Finally Badman Charters will be fishing Canadian waters all throughout the 2023 fishing season. It recently re-opened allowing anglers opportunities at some prime charter fishing for smallmouth bass and superb mid-summer in to fall walleye action.
Pelee Island is unique because it has large areas of shallow water reefs, with deeper water just off the edge. As the summer progresses with warmer water temps, larger walleyes can still be targeted a few miles off the island in either direction. It's not uncommon for larger walleyes to be found in deeper Canadian waters when the Ohio walleyes get sluggish and somewhat tougher to catch. Angler's responsibility would be to have a Canadian fishing license, which can be purchased online very easily. Please make note of that in any emails, messages, or phone calls when inquiring.
"2023 will be an outstanding year for walleye on Lake Erie. Having record or near hatches during the previous six spawning periods means recruitment is strong. This will reward anglers with some of the best walleye fishing anywhere else in the great lakes or the world"
