Fishing · Ontario
A southwestern Ontario fishing charter running walleye trips on the St. Clair River and Lake Erie and perch at Long Point Bay, with a perfect rating and many groups reaching their limit in under two hours.
Bear Bones Fishing Charter is based in Strathroy-Caradoc and fishes several waters in southwestern Ontario: the St. Clair River at Sarnia, Lake Erie out of Port Glasgow, and Long Point Bay. All 55 reviews are five stars.
Walleye is the main event, and groups report limits in remarkably short order. One party caught 18 walleye in about an hour and a half, several hit their limit in under two hours, and a recent angler landed one of his biggest walleye in years on the St. Clair. A perch trip at Long Point Bay produced 60 to 70 fish in the first hour despite strong wind.
The captain gets praise for being punctual, courteous and safety-conscious, with a well-equipped boat and modern electronics. He handles the gear so guests can focus on reeling, and several reviewers enjoyed his stories and background on the fishery. Mixed-experience groups say everyone learned something, and grandparents mention kids getting excited and being well coached.
There are no complaints. Short, productive trips suit families and people with limited time, and one group managed a last-minute booking thanks to quick replies. Wind can affect Lake Erie and Long Point Bay, so be ready for a change of plan on rough days.
