Guided Lake Erie Fishing Charters
My name is Captain Kurt Bitikofer. I have a passion for fishing which I love to share with others! Come join Captain Kurt’s Lake Erie Fishing Charters for great fishing action on Lake Erie or its tributaries. Captain Kurt’s Charters is based out of Conneaut, Ohio, just to the west of the PA line and right in the middle of Steelhead Alley.
We specialize in lake charters for walleye (May thru September) and stream or lake fishing for Steelhead (October thru May). We also offer trips for smallmouth bass and lake trout or combo trips for multiple species, depending on the time of year. My goal is to make sure my clients have a great time on the water and get to enjoy all that the Lake Erie shore has to offer. We do day trips, but we specialize in multi day fishing packages.

Explosive PA & Ohio Steelhead Fishing | One Hour Documentary
In this exceptional video, we join Colin McKeown as he explores the incredible steelhead fishing in the rivers of PA & Ohio that run into Lake Erie. He, along with Tim & Drew Flagler, are the guests of Kurt Bitikofer and his daughter Morgan. In this detailed video, we will learn about rigging options, presentation techniques, private versus public waters, and much more!
Smallmouth Bass and Lake Trout fishing
We offer options for lake fishing in April May for Smallmouth Bass and Lake Trout
A very popular option in Spring and early Summer is stream fishing for Smallmouth Bass as well as Channel Catfish. This is most productive in May, June and July. It’s a great option if we get blown off the lake or if you are just not comfortable on big water. It’s lots of fun to wet wade in warm weather and you have a great shot at a trophy bass or catfish! It is not uncommon to catch Smallies over 5 pounds!

We fished with Captain Kurt last year for walleye on Lake Erie and had an excellent experience. We had our limit in no time. He is very knowledgeable, fun to fish with, and knows where to find fish. We have recommended him to several of our fishing friends and are looking forward to another trip with him this year. You won’t find a better captain!

My wife and I booked a trip to fish for walleye with Captin Kurt Charters in June. We limited out on walleye both days and had a blast with Captin Kurt and his first mate who kept it super fun! To top it off the sunsets on the lake are just priceless! We will definitely be going again!

I have fished with many fishing Captains in the past and I can say the trip with Kurt was the best I’ve taken. His boat and equipment are top notch. His attention to his clients needs and desires are second to none. We booked with him for a walleye trip and he had us on fish all day. His operation is top notch and I wouldn’t hesitate to fish with him again.

All I can say is WOW! My family and I were accustomed to taking a week off and flying to Canada for some legendary fishing experiences. With my first grandchild now only 7 months old we had to change our plans and look for somewhere a bit more civilized. We were concerned that by choosing a charter near a town offering basic amenities and medical services we would compromise the quality of the fishing experience. Boy were we wrong. The combination of Lake Erie’s spectacular fishery and Captain Kurts competency created a fishing experience that was nothing short of amazing. Captain Kurt knew how to get on the fish and his hard working first mate made the time on the lake enjoyable, as well as prolific. Catching Limit after limit of walleye along with some wall mounters made this trip a memory of a lifetime. I would recommend this charter only to my best of friends or family.

I have fished with Kurt multiple times and had a great time every time. Kurt is extremely knowledgeable and has a passion for fishing unlike anyone I have ever met. He knows how to find fish and walleye are some of the best eating fish you can eat. I have caught multiple species of fish with him!
