There is always something going on behind the scenes. Right now it happens to be rod and reel repair. During the busy season if something happens to a rod or reel we just swap it out with one of our spares then do the repairs needed during our off season.

Most often customers only get to fish with us once a year. They never get the chance to meet our whole fishing team. We created a new web page called "meet our fishing team". You can visit it with this link and see short bios of who we all are:

Winding down the 2024 fishing season on the Lucky Strike were Jim, Bruce and Don who always book 3 days of fishing. Missing this year was Rick who had personal family matters to attend to....hopefully see you in 2025 Rick, the dates are booked!

We only got them out 2 of the the three days due to high winds. We only managed pics on day 1 as day twos catch was sent straight to the cutters, but it was comparable to these pics.

Captain Justin mated for me the first day and Makenna the second. Makenna pulled an awsim prank on Rick after fishing on the second day .... as a fisherman, he took it hook line and sinker!

This was such a special year in that we did not have to repair wire lines all season long. We did it with and our hats are off to Dan Heyne with the wonderful program combined with dipsys and spoons! What a year, fishing doesn't get any better!

My fishing team looks forward to seeing everyone in 2025. We thank you for your continual patronage snd generosities and so happy to have you as part of the Lucky Strike and Bring It On fishing family.

Safe travels in your upcoming holidays, God bless you all. If we missed any customers which were waiting to see a post of their catch please reach out. During the 2024 season the boat breakdowns really set us back as we were burning the candle on both ends

After a long awaited fishing trip this group put a smackdown on the walleye using the 2024 tried and true method: (I just love saying this) ... 's combined with the summer set dipsy patterns with all spoons. Love using spoons, so forgiving and ease to work with.

Pictured from L-R are Kate Klug, Nicholas DiGiacomo, Chris Klug, and Toni and Lori DiGiacomo. Congrats you guys, great reeling and landing job out there, it was our pleasure to have you aboard. Hope we can see you back in 2025.

Back at it again for 2024 were the Keith Glaros group including Anthony, Ed, Kevin and Alex. They have their own system of scorekeeping abd tracking who gas caught what. These guys know how to have fun on a fishing trip and that makes things so much fun for all of us.

Good job out there on the water landing those fish, nice catch. You got them on all spoons using 's as well as dipsys! What a phenomenal year The dipsy bite came in earlier than usual and all in all the fishing just could not get any better.

Thank you for your continual patronage and generosity we look forward to seeing you in 2025.

Back on the Lucky Strike again was L-R .... Jim Wagner with friends Dave and Mike Plyler. Thanks Jim for bringing more guests to join our fishing in Ashtabula, OH .... Always a pleasure to have your group aboard.

We should be so thankful for the 2024 fishing season allowing us to get it done all season long with the program combined with dipsys and spoons as the season progressed.

Always a huge shout out and thank you for fishing with us with your wonderful generosity and continual patronage of bringing others to enjoy this fishery!

The annual Hide-Away-Lakes campground fishing trip was successful once again ending with this fine catch which helps Hideaway with their annual fish fry. They are our go to place when customers ask us where to camp. Pictured L-R are Don Savel, Shannon Wood, Mike Stoneman, Hayden Venturella, Jeff Wiles and Brad Howard.

This team fishes very interactive so thanks for all the help. I believe Hayden caught his first walleye as well as one of the largest caught on the Lucky Strike during 2024 at over 31" .... What a hog walleye, congrats. As most of the mid summer and beyond went we netted up your walleye profits using the as well as dipsy program with spoons .... what a year, I'll take those lines sets anytime. Thank you everyone for fishing with us, it was Sam's and my pleasure having you aboard.

Caitlin, granddaughter of long time charter captain friend Hank Co**in (RIP) was back on the Lucky Strike again with her dad Keith brother Keith and friend Summer. We sealed your fish catching deal with 's and dipsys with spoons.

I'm sure grandpa was looking down on us as we brought this nice catch of walleye back to the harbor. Thank you for fishing with us again .... Kevin, take note of what Caitlin wrote .... I'm certain grammy liked the idea of you bringing her fish.

Although my old time fishing friend ( Bill Vandervort) has his own fishing boats, in fact two of them, he wished to allow his friends at our local Bass Pro Shop a charter boat Ashtabula Ohio Lake Erie fishing experience and booked us on the Lucky Strike to give them that.

We sealed the deal for the day just like we had all season long with the program mixed with dipsys on all spoons. Thank you Kurt and Riley for being aboard....hope you had a great time and get to share your story at Bass Pro. 🎣

Meet Sam, our newest addition to the fishing team. She has been fishing since she was a kid for walleye and perch on Lake Erie as well as trout in the surrounding creeks and Allegheny Mountains. When she's not reeling in fish, you can find her in the woods hunting or backpacking. As an avid outdoors enthusiast with a friendly demeanor ,she is always sharing tips and tricks with guests, fostering a love for the sport. Sam is here to guide you on the water and land your next big catch!

Sometimes we get to run our two boat, multi day fishing extravaganza! That was the case with Captain Justin on the Bring It On and yours truly on the Lucky Strike taking the fishing group of Rick Stark including friends Jim Cummings, Jack Cady, Ed Lubrecht, Tim Skinner, Bob Lubrecht, Mick McLane, Greg Thoerner, Brian Thoerner and Tim Van Sant

All year long all day long we have continued to seal your fish catching deal with and dipsys with spoons in summer set patterns. Although recently my second boat may have thrown some wire lines in the mix the seasonsl set winner for 2024 is clearly the program with spoons.

Thank you for fishing with us, thank you for your generosity, it was our pleasure to have you aboard!
