There's no bad time to book your charter. Come and experience some of the best Lake Erie walleye fishing in the western basin.
Badman Charters welcomes families including children!
We are 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 walleye charter?
The charter policy has always been if we finish early only on a 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.
If you would come and need a fishing license for either a resident and non-resident angler
Don't be alarmed, but Ohio recently increased the cost of fishing licenses beginning in 2026, but are still very affordable for anglers. Nothing has changed with the minimum age of 16, they can still fish for free, regardless of what state you left from. This is just another good reason why Lake Erie walleye fishing is another great family activity.
You expect this charter to work hard to get your fish
We are very diligent when considering being successful every time 'The Badman' leaves the dock. Our policy isn't to catch for a quick limit catch and immediately bring you back to the dock. This charter service makes every effort to keep you on the water for the best chance of landing a limit.
Ability makes no difference
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.
Fish Cleaning
It is an important part of the trip. Fish cleaning is also available for those who wish to relax after a day on the lake. We can arrange all that after the day's catch. Fishing multiple days, the fish cleaners can hold your catch until the day you leave, or you can pick them up at your convenience. For those wishing to clean their own, you will be directed to the usable and clean fish cleaning facilities.

The absolute best Captain I have a great time fishing for King Salmon We are booking now for the trip in 2020! Won’t fish with anyone else for King Salmon!
Joseph B. -
Captain Joe works as hard as anyone to get you on the fish and keep you there. This year we limited out at noon and it was a very and let me tell you, it was a blast!. This is the third year I've been on charter with Capt. Joe and I am already looking forward to next year. I recommend Badman Charters without hesitation or reservation.
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! We WILL be back!!
