Now is the perfect time to have an awesome fishing adventure with Ditch Chicken Charters and Captain Paul Snyder and his First Mate Ryan Snyder. This father and son dynamic duo will make sure you have a great time out with them, catch lots of lake fish, and make some unforgettable memories.
Hop on board their 23' Parker walkaround boat. This compact boat can give you and 4 fishing friends the opportunity to go trolling on Lake Erie. Twelve lines can be in the water at once, giving you the maximum opportunity to catch plenty of fish. There is also a 9.8. HP four-stroke trolling motor to help give you that extra edge.
This beautifully maintained boat has a 225 HP Yamaha engine. She boasts full navigational and safety equipment. Her fishfinder, and the captain's extensive knowledge of the area, will have you on top of the fish all day.
On the menu are Walleye, Steelhead, and Lake Trout predominantly. Please note, Lake Trout fishing is from April to May. You can also catch Coho and Chinook Salmon, and Yellow Perch. After the trip, the captain is happy to fillet your haul for you. Don't forget your own cooler with ice to take your fish home in.
All Okuma rods and reels are included. These top quality rods won't let you down when you're reeling in your dream catch. You are encouraged to bring a small cooler of your own food and drinks in – you'll need to keep your energy up.
Children over 8 years old are welcome on board – life vests are available to them. They are sure to have some awesome stories to tell their friends back at school!
You will need to purchase a Pennsylvania fishing license and Lake Erie permit before the day. If going after Lake Trout and Steelhead you will need to purchase an additional Trout and combo permit.
There is no better time to fish Lake Erie. Join Capt. Paul for an amazing day out!

Joseph LawlerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip!!
Full Day Trip (2 PERSONS) on August 25, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Paul and mate Ryan were excellent, both very knowledgeble and patient. There was two of us fishing for two days. We caught our limit of Walleyes both days, as well as a 15lb Lake Trout and a few large Sheephead.

Dawn Krouse5.0VerifiedWonderful trip!
6 Hour Afternoon Trip (5 PERSONS) on July 22, 2025 • 5 adults • 3 childrenWe went out with Captain Paul for a fishing trip to catch walleye! We had 3 kids with us ranging from 8-13. Captain Paul was very attentive and helpful. We caught 30 fish and had a wonderful time. Two people with us did get sea sick, but we laugh about it now! Would recommend this fishing charter. 10 out of 10!
Bryan NorrisRepeat angler5.0VerifiedThree Hours to Limit Out
6 Hour Afternoon Trip (2 PERSONS) on July 13, 2023 • 2 adultsCaptain Paul was able to fit us in on a Friday morning before our Golf Tee Time. We only had about 4 or 5 hours and we didn’t need to rush at all. We left the marina at 8:30 am and headed back at 11:30am. Three hours is all it took to limit out. Paul was friendly and knowledgeable wasting no time putting us on the walleye that we were targeting! My Dad and my son stayed busy as we didn’t go any longer than 5 minutes without action reeling them in. We also caught a few sheepshead and a nice size silver bass that we put back in. If you want big fancy boats and equipment you have plenty of options but if you want to set the dinner table and fill the freezer…stop looking and book captain Paul today!

Full Day Trip (2 PERSONS) on August 26, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 childMy goal was to have a memorable day of fishing with my 12 year old son on Lake Erie and Captain Paul provided that. We had beautiful weather and his experience allowed us to catch our limit of Walleye. I highly recommend Ditch Chicken Charters for your next fishing adventure!
Eric MatechakRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat time chadong lake trout
Full Day Trip (2 PERSONS) on May 27, 2023 • 2 adultsCapt Paul was great to spend 8 hours with. Even at the end of lake trout season, he still managed to put me on fish. Caught my first lake trout today and then five more plus a really nice steelhead. All fish today were 8-20 pounds. Captain Paul is very hard working and accommodating. I had a great time and will be booking future trips with him. The boat was great, the gear was great. Great experience and great Saturday.
