30' Penn Yan Lake Erie Fishing Machine - The Buckets Five

Lake Erie Fishing Boat.

The Buckets 1, skippered by Lake Erie Fishing Guide Captain Dan Kelly is a speedy 30 foot Penn Yan fishing boat that offers plenty of fishing room so your Lake Erie fishing trip will be as comfortable as possible.

A safe and rugged charter boat that's just perfect for Lake Erie fishing. Measuring in at a roomy 30 feet long with a 10 foot beam the Buckets Five offers anglers plenty of fishing and elbow room which makes for a day of comfortable fishing on Lake Erie.

Beside having one of the top Captains at the helm the Buckets Five sports all the latest and greatest in electronic safety and fishing gear. With marine radios, GPS navigation, and auto pilot, something not featured on very many rigs, the Buckets is safe and reliable and a boat you can bring your children on in full confidence.

She is loaded with all the best rod n reels and the latest in top artificial baits and tackle. So when you get hooked up to a trophy walleye or salmon your chances of losing a beautiful trophy fish go way down. There is nothing worse than losing a fish because of sub standard or worn out gear. With Buckets Charters you need not worry about that.

Some things to bring on you trip:

A food, drink and fish cooler

Bring a cooler for food and drinks. Ask your Lake Erie fishing boat Captain how large of a cooler you will need to carry your fish home in. You will leave this in the car.

A sports bag to carry all your personal fishing gear

A sports bag is a good idea to bring for carrying your rain gear, hat, glasses etc and other personal items that you need on a Lake Erie fishing trip.

Bring chicken, subs, and sandwiches or whatever you want to eat. Bring your drinks - Ask the Captain if he allows beer.

Bring a cooler for your party's food and drinks.
Beer is Permitted.
Hard Liquor not permitted.

Foul weather gear - Optional

If you will be fishing in foul or rainy weather then you may want to bring some gear to keep you dry. Not as important on boats with covers and cabins but on some boats you may not have the luxury of a cabin.

Bring polarized sun glasses to block the suns glare

Bring sun glasses. Preferrably polarized fishing glasses to lessen the sun's glare that reflects up off the water. Plus polarized glaases help you see the fish better.

A camera or video camera for pictures

Bring a camera to take snapshots of those big walleye you catch or video of the beautiful waters of Erie Pennsylvania and the Lake Erie fishing grounds..

Fishing hats to block sun burn

A hat or ball cap is a good idea, especially for you guys that are getting a bit thin on top. Protect your head from the sun's burning rays.

If you get seasick then motion sickness pills would be a very good idea

If you get sea sick or aren't sure if you get sea sick then it is a very wise idea to take your Dramamine before you leave the dock. Nothing can ruin a fishing trip worse than a guy named "RALPH".

Deck shoes only please.

Be sure to wear some type of boat shoe or tennis shoes. No hard heeled dress shoes at all please.

Bring cash to tip the boat's mate - TIP HIM WELL!

You probably already paid for the trip but you should make sure you have some cash in pocket so you can tip the mate. Charter boat Captains operate on shoe string budgets, especially with gas prices soaring nowadays plus it is not easy work so it is very common for Mates to work for tips only. If you feel like your mate went above and beyond to satisfy you then tip him well. Mates work for tips so please treat your mate good.

Sun screen so you won't burn

The Lake Erie region can even get hot in the summer time and the sun can burn. Make sure you bring sunscreen, especially if you burn. If you have sunburn then you can't enjoy your Lake Erie fishing trip.
