Championship Coach Reels in Lake Erie Action

Salty Dog Charters had an exciting day on the water with Mike, Erin, and Brock Elder—yes, that Brock Elder, head coach of the Avon Eagles, Ohio’s championship football team. The crew enjoyed steady action, calm waters, and plenty of quality fish.

From the first cast to the final net drop, it was a productive trip filled with laughs and limit catches. We put some solid walleye in the cooler, and the team’s winning streak clearly followed them offshore. Always a pleasure hosting folks from Ohio who know how to win—both on the field and on the water.
