Summer Bandit Charters – Double Barrel

Summer Bandit Charter Double Barrel is here to help you experience Lake Erie to the fullest! The owner, Capt. Paul Coutcher, has been fishing for 30 years, so the western basin of the lake is his second home. He and his crew like having beginners on their boat and helping them to gain a new skill.

Hop aboard a 30’ Sportcraft boat and start your adventure. She can accommodate up to 6 guests and there’s enough room for everybody to fish at the same time. The boat is powered by twin 240 HP inboard engines, which can take you to great fishing spots in no time. As the charter is family friendly, the captain also makes sure that life vests for the kids are available.

Don’t be discouraged if the boat is booked for the date you’re looking for. Summer Bandit Charters also have a 27’ Sportcraft boat, that you can book on their second listing.

Walleye season starts in April, while you have to be more patient for Perch, as their season starts in July. Both targets are available until October. Besides specialized trips that target only one species, you can also book an extended combo trip. The crew takes pride in providing a lot of fishing time for his clients, so all his trips last 8-hour minimum.

You don’t have to worry about fishing equipment, lures, and live bait, as that’s something that the captain provides on each trip. You only need to purchase your fishing license in advance and bring some snacks and drinks.

Whether you’re an experienced angler or a novice, Summer Bandit Charter Double Barrel hopes that you will start your next fishing escapade with them!

Captain Paul has been fishing this lake for 30 years. A lot of his friends are captains, so he started his career working for them as a first mate. He decided to become a captain himself and got his license in 2018. Having beginners on the boat is something he loves, showing them how to fish on Lake Erie and teaching them his techniques. Introducing kids to the world of fishing has been his passion his whole life.
