Experience year-round fishing excursions with Schultz Sportfishing Charter. We offer trips for Trophy Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Yellow Perch, King Salmon, Steelhead, Lake Trout, and Brown Trout. Explore Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, the Niagara River, and the Niagara Bar in picturesque western New York.

Sail aboard our fully equipped 2018 Alumacraft 205 Competitor, powered by a mighty 250 HP Yamaha engine. This vessel is built to conquer any challenge Lake Erie poses. It boasts a Minn Kota 80PD Trolling motor with I-Pilot, along with Humminbird electronics that ensure you reach the most productive fishing spots.

Our esteemed guide, Barry Schultz, brings 17 years of experience to the table. Having explored New York's waters since childhood, he is well-versed in local fisheries and champions responsible fishing through his CPR method - Catch, Picture, Release. Under his expert guidance, you'll not only reel in remarkable catches but also learn the art of sustainable angling.

At Schultz Sportfishing Charter, we provide top-quality tackle, including rods and reels, along with a selection of baits. Captain Barry is always ready with recommendations for obtaining fishing licenses and local restaurants that excel at cooking your freshly caught fish.

While we offer fish cleaning for Walleye, Salmon, and Trout, please note that our Smallmouth Bass trips are Catch and Release only. For Yellow Perch, you may have them cleaned, but extra time is required. On an average fishing day, you can expect to catch between 50-150 Yellow Perch.

Join us for an unforgettable angling adventure amidst the serene beauty of Lake Erie and its surrounding area. Simply pick a date and get ready to indulge in the thrill of the catch!
