Why Vision Quest Sport Fishing Charters?
First, I would like to thank you for taking time to read this and considering Vision Quest as your charter boat choice. Let me brief you on our fish catching/customer philosophy. Catching fish is like any other job in life, there are those who excel and those who don’t in their fields. We excel because of a self determination to be the best in our line of work. You get 100% effort when booking with us. Secondly, we try to see that all customers are comfortable, safe, and enjoy themselves. Once we feel conditions are safe and customers are comfortable, “we go to work” to try to catch them the most fish we can within that given period of time. That is what you, the customer, are paying for. Thirdly, let me brief you on our credentials.
The Vision Quest is owned and operated by myself, a fully insured and licensed captain with over 32 years of Great Lake water experience. I am on the field staff of national tackle manufacturing companies such as, FishUSA, DREAMWEAVER Lures, Fish Hawk Electronics, Big Jon Sports, SHIMANO Fishing Products, Atlas Mike's and Pautzke Bait Co., Torpedo Trolling Products, and AFTCO. Some of the Quests highlights over the years include trolling up a six man limit of walleyes in 90 minutes (36), boating (138) smallmouth bass in four hours of trolling, landing (2,897) fish in (89) trips, hooking up 135 and boating 103 lake trout and 3 steelhead in one November day (2019) and hooking (73) and landing (35) salmon & trout in 6 hours of trolling in November. Myself, tourney teams and my charter customers have landed over 50,000 sport fish (walleye-lake trout-coho-kings-atlantics-steelhead-brown trout) to date and counting.....Team Vision Quest has also won and placed in numerous Great Lakes Fishing Tournaments in Pennsylvania, New York and Canada. TEAM VQ's tournament accomplishments are well respected on Lake Erie and Ontario. Since 2006, we have placed in the top 10 well over 150 times and won over (40) events which is a PROVEN testament to our level of competitiveness and skill. In 2023 alone , Team V.Q. won the EPSFA Team of the Year, King of the Lake Championship (Canadian overall), finished 2nd in the G.L.S.E. (lakewide overall), won the prestigious Niagara Pro-Am- Wilson, Ny, King of the Lake- Cobourg, Ont event, Summer SLAM- Erie, PA, Wilson Harbor Invitational Day 1-Wilson, Ny. Combined, we had 27 top 5 finishes in the numerous events, including Big Fish events and overalls on both lakes.
