Welcome to Old Timer Fishing Charters. We are a full service fishing charter that operates out of Erie Pennsylvania.
There is nothing like fishing Lake Erie for walleye, steelhead, and lake trout. I run the Old Timer Charter service on Lake Erie simply because I have been fishing it most of my life.
Book early for a prime date for the best early fishing anywhere. Lake trout trips start in April and spring walleye trips start the beginning of May. We offer both night time and day time trips.
