About the Badman
More about Lake Erie Charters
Captain Joe Holly
The Badman is owned and operated by Joe Holly. He has held a United States Coast Guard license since 1987, guiding fishermen on Lake Ontario and Lake Erie walleye charters for 39 years. Areas that were fished include the entire western basin of Lake Erie, from Lorain to the Michigan border, including waters associated with Pelee Island in Ontario waters. Joe started out as a first mate on several boats before becoming a freelance captain (one who runs other captains' boats). Joe was hired on to help run one of the original owners' boats by Pat and Lou Badman, and in 1992, purchased the business from them.
Joe's dedicated passion, hard work, and enthusiasm are a lot of what I take to the lake everyday. Trying the get clients involved on the charters is what Joe works hard to accomplish every time The Badman leaves the dock. Joe always enjoys to show new methods that work to catch walleyes. If people can take something they learned as they walk off the boat and use it many times over, then Joe accomplished what he enjoys doing the most.
12 good reasons that will help you decide on Badman Charters!
When you book a trip with Badman Charters You can expect a lot out of Badman Charters, take a look at what Badman Charters will do for you.
> Prior to scheduled date Badman Charters want to always talk 2 to 3 days in advance to discuss weather. Along with that, we'll discuss fishing locations and what license's needed for the trip,> Start time Badman Charters always sets a start time for the trip, but if necessary, start time can be adjusted to start earlier or later,> No surprises Never a sur-charge for fuel or unknowing charges, no surprises!> Nothing is ever final on the trip until we leave the dock Even if weather or species preferences change, most times we can change how we fish, where we fish, ....or what we fish!
> What about fishing licenses
To be sure we have the correct Ohio license for the day, Badman Charters can purchase non-resident Canadian licenses for anglers on the trip. This is often discussed prior to the trip date, but oftentimes a quick change of plans and I'll have them the morning of the trip waiting at the dock,
> Never leave the lake early
Always, expect to fish a full day. If we would limit early enough and there's enough time to target additional species, we'll stop on the way back and see if something else will bite,
> Multi-presentation charter
Unlike a lot of charters who are set to be a one-method charter service. There's nothing wrong with that unless you're having a very, very, .......slow day on the lake. Badman Charters is multi-representational. We can drift, troll and jig fish, you'll find that you are not locked into one method for the charter,
> How are we going to fish today?We have a way to usually get it done. Many times, we start with a presentation that just isn't catching that day and oftentimes finish with a different method and limit at days end. I leave it up to you,> When nature calls!Private bathroom facilities, no bucket and poncho! Ladies especially will appreciate our full bathroom. Even the men will appreciate bathroom facilities onboard rather then a bucket. It's there to use.
> Credit cards accepted for all fishing charters and lodging> Badman Charters works very hard for you each day!!!!> Distance is not important, it's where the best fishing is locatedBadman Charters always goes the extra mile
