Buckets Charters

Buckets Charters runs fully guided fishing charters on Lake Erie, targeting walleye, lake trout, smallmouth bass and perch. Captain Dan Kelley and his crew work out of Erie, Pennsylvania, with three boats and all gear provided. Trips are offered as morning or afternoon charters, and the crew says a relaxed, safe trip suits families, kids and beginners as well as experienced anglers.

Trips launch from the company's private marina, which gives quick access to the lake. Guests book by phone or through the website to check availability. Captain Dan has been fishing Lake Erie for decades, and the charter fishes the Pennsylvania waters of the lake, with guests keeping fish for the table.
