About


The Walleye Capital of the World

About


The Walleye Capital of the World

Erie Drifter Sportfishing & Lodging is located a half hour East of Toledo Ohio. Our excellent location provides Quality Fishing Charters for all popular Lake Erie Trophies, including Walleye, Smallmouth Bass and Perch. These are the best eating fish in the country. The Top Chef’s of the world choose walleye over all fish in the waters.

Oak Harbor, Ohio is located on the beautiful shores of Lake Erie’s western basin. Our Marina is literally minutes from the spawning reefs. These glacial formed reef structures attract over 90 percent of all walleyes in our Great Lake for spawning. The gravel­ rock structures also attract Smallmouth Bass and Perch for spawning. Thats why we are here! No long boat rides from this marina. The “Walleye Capital of the World” is right at our back door. The Erie Drifter Captains, Captain Stoney and Captain Troy, have spent over 30 years plotting, charting and logging the hottest fishing spots on Lake Erie. Join us this upcoming season for action packed limits of Monster Walleyes, Huge Jumping Smallmouth Bass and my favorite Jumbo Perch like you’ve never seen in your life.

“Thanks to Erie Drifter for fulfilling our fishing dreams. First time out on Lake Erie and most of us caught our limit. Very professional with what he does. Will definitely recommend to anyone wanting a fishing guide. Thanks again!”

”We had a great time with Capt. Stoney King. If you're looking for someone with knowledge, this is your guy.”

“Just spent 3 days on the boat with Captains Troy & Stoney. Caught quality fish first 2 days and a two-boat limit on our final day. Thanks Captains! Always a fun trip!”

“Really enjoyed the experience with Erie Drifter. Captain Troy really did an awesome job putting us on the big walleye. We limited both trips we came up. I will be booking with Troy again next season for sure! We are already planning a 2 day trip for next year!”

“Both Captains Stoney King and Troy Wickman are great guides. Hard working and very knowledgeable. Captain Troy is an especially patient and a good teacher. We had no wind to drift the second day. Captain Troy set out the planners and was a great teacher for my wife and I both as to how it works! The lodging is wonderful for bird watching off the deck. Lodging is clean, comfortable and close to the dock. This was my first trip with them, I will be back. My wife and I both had a great time! Thanks Troy and Stoney! We’ll see you guys this fall and next spring!”

“Love this outfit! Always a great time! Great capt's! Nice lodging! Oh yeah and the fishing is great too!”

“Troy was a great guide. Very informative. Explained everything to our grandson. Allowed him to help with ever aspect. Would highly recommend Troy for anyone that wants to take their family.”
