Types of Fishing

When Pennsylvania fishing, you can catch plenty of the local fish, commonly using flies, and of course who don’t want to use lures. Bass is one of the most popular fish in the nation to fish for, they can be caught year-round, but peak in spring and fall. Again, using worms, live-bait, and topwater lures.

Pennsylvania fishing charters offer a lot of water options. We commonly use trolling, bottom fishing, light or heavy tackle, jigging, and more.
When bottom fishing, we use heavy tackle for Walleye. These beauties live and love hanging around underwater structures. You can catch them mostly in deeper water, which in many cases is in state waters and have a very specific season to when they can be caught and harvested. You can catch them on cut fish as well, so most of the bait is cut fresh onboard the vessel. Leadgegs are one of the favorite places for Smallmouth, Walleye and Trout to hangout.

When fishing for Walleye, trolling is the most popular method. As they move around the water depths, you can find them at various latitudes, offshore and shoal waters alike. Feisty, Lake Trout, locally the favorite, flock around buoys and channels. We use lures and special Riggs, but we can also jig and see if Trout will chase it. Catch hard-fighting Smallmouth with a line testing 8+lb tackle. If you would prefer to try catching them on heavier tackle or fly, were happy to accommodate as well.

Great time with Capt. John

Erie
★★★★★
We had an awesome outing with Capt. John. He was very accommodating and wanting to make sure we had a great experience fishing. Right from the start – he was ready to go even before we arrived. He had went out earlier to check the spots we were to be fishing. I booked this trip as a surprise to my wife and Capt. John knew it and wanted to make it a special time for us. He was diligent in finding us the right spots to fish and he was in communication with Capt. Mark as well keeping up on the fishing reports. We had an enjoyable and fun time with him and didn’t realize how fast time was going. We caught a lot of small-mouth bass as well as perch and rock bass and I can “truly” say that you should have seen some of the ones that got away! Capt. John was so excited for us catching bass that he just extended our time and wanted to see us keep catching. We would highly recommend going out with Capt. John and we are looking forward to fishing with him again.
