Lake Erie Charter Fishing Captain, Ohio Charter Boat Captain

Experience the excitement of Lake Erie fishing while you target trophy walleye, lake trout, yellow perch, and even smallmouth bass with top Lake Erie fishing guide, Captain Jeff Bastulli.

Here you see Captain Jeff happy in his element. Either at the helm of his Lake Erie charter boat or at a sports or fishing show during the off season you can bet Captain Jeff is talking Lake Erie fishing every day. This particular picture of Captain Jeff was taken at the boat show at the I-X Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Captain Jeff was working the Lake County visitors booth promoting the Perch Fest in Lake County, which is 20 miles east of Cleveland.

For Captain Jeff Lake Erie fishing is a sport that has been a part of his entire life, even since he was a young child. Jeff grew up on the south shore of Lake Erie, fishing it and other lakes and rivers every chance he got which has translated into over 30 years of expertise and experience fishing these quality and very productive Lake Erie fishing grounds.

He lives a quarter mile from the Lake Erie and right up the road from the boat.
Jeff is a member or the North Coast Charter Boat association and the Lake County Visitors Bureau.

Captain Jeff is licensed by the United States Coast Guard and holds an Ohio fishing charter license and is fully insured.

As we mentioned Captain Jeff has over 30 years of Lake Erie fishing knowledge and experience that he can pull from on every Lake Erie fishing charter he runs. His vast fishing knowledge is one of the reasons he always finds the fish and is such a successful Ohio charter boat Captain. He is experienced in all types of Lake Erie fishing and knows the southern region of this lake like the back of his hand. After all he grew up on Lake Erie's south shore and even today lives just a stones throw from the waters edge and can just about walk to his boat.

A large school of walleye is one thing that puts Captain Jeff in a really good mood but there is also something esle that makes Jeff very happy while out on the water. Seeing his customers hooked up to a nice fish makes Captain Jeff's day, especially when he sees the young kids taking so much delight in fishing. After all everytime a kid becomes hooked on fishing the odds go up that the same kid won't be tempted by the things of the world that are bad for them.

That's right, Captain Jeff gets just as much satisfaction these days out of watching his customers catch fish, especially the beginners or the kids. There is nothing like seeing a little one have a giant smile on his or her face as they land a fish that is sometimes bigger than what the "Grown-Ups" have caught.

This is a perch fishing event in august and anyone wanting to make donations should contact the Ohio police athletic league.
