ISLANDER GUIDE SERVICE - Marblehead, Ohio

Islander Guide Service is a time-tested & highly versatile Lake Erie charter that just plain knows how to stay on the fish. Whether it's walleye (April - Oct), stealhead (July/Aug), smallmouth bass (July-Oct), or yellow perch (Aug-Oct), Captain Bernie has a nose for the right water.

The Islander (28' Marinette) and the Islander Too
(30' Sportcraft) stand as two of the most sea-worthy vessels utilized on Lake Erie. Equipped with the lastest in safety & electronics, both boats call West Harbor Marina (of Marblehead) home.

Our docks truly offer all points fishing as we follow the fish from Maumee Bay (west) well past Vermilion (east). We spend as much time fishing the Canadian waters as we do the U.S. waters. Quite simply, we go where the action is!

Seek out that 10lb+ 'eye. Fill the cooler with jumbo perch. Harness the thrill of a steelie in a landing net. Or indulge in the excitement of explosive smallmouth action while taking in the majesty of Pelee Island.

It doesn't take a fly-in or days in a car. Isander Guide Service is right near by to give you that few hour or few day getaway you've been waiting for!
