What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Erie, Pennsylvania for the first time?

Book your trips after may. May was a bit early in the season. Definitely book with captain Dan and D&D rodfather. Would not recommend staying at the Cobblestone Hotel, location was the only good thing about it..

Fishing was a bit slow both days we went out. Once we found the "sweet spot", we were able to get several fish in the boat. We boated quality fish on several occasions. If you are looking for numbers I would recommend going in the fall per Capt. Mark Rose. I will personally come back in the spring during bed fishing. I found that to be a lot of fun when we managed to find a find a few still on the bed. I would recommend Capt Mark Rose to my family and friends on their next fishing trip to Erie!

Look up D. D. Rod father captain Dan explains what his set ups are and how they are used and any ? You have he has the answer not only while your on the water but at home we got alot of fish and little more know how for when we go again can't wait

Pick a fish and go! The fishing here is great. The lake lives up to it's reputation of being one of the top lakes in the country for many species of fish. Being from out of town and not knowing much about Erie I have to say my expectations were exceeded in every way.

Be patient, fish slowly and you will have great results. Definitely try to fish with an experienced captain like Mark Rose.

If you’re looking for smallmouth and have a boat, it couldn’t be better. If you’re targeting walleye, wait until June.

Prepare to have a great time and watch the weather it changes fast. Other than that enjoy and have fun

i think a psrty of three is sufficient for the boat we were on. four might be a bit crowded especially is the catching is on.

Fishing in Erie in May was great. We targeted lake trout, and as the weather warms up walleye should be great this summer.

Do your research but definitely recommend Captain dawn of you want to catch the big fish!

Get an experienced guide who will clean your catch for you. Get there early and have fun!

Stay hydrated and the more fun you and your gang have the better they crew support you!

The Walleye fishing is spectacular and a knowledgeable captain like Captain Dan is needed.

This was our first trip and it did not disappoint. You have to take this fishing charter

Hook up with the best charter you can find. SunSetter Adventures is #1 on my list.
