Lake Erie Fishing Boats

We are committed to providing a safe and memorable Lake Erie fishing experience. Buckets Charters operates out of the Northwest Region of Pennsylvania with two boats, Buckets 5 – a 30-ft Penn Yan Predator and Buckets 3 – a 27-ft Sportcraft Fishmaster.

Erie Boat Penn Yan Predator Buckets 5 is owned and operated by Captain Dan and is a safe and rugged charter boat that's perfect for Lake Erie fishing conditions. Measuring in at a roomy 30-ft long with a 10-ft beam and powered by twin 350's, Buckets 5 offers anglers plenty of fishing and elbow room, which makes for a day of comfortable fishing on Lake Erie.






Erie Boat Sportcraft Fishmaster Buckets 3 is owned and operated by Captain Ken and is a tough 27-foot Sportcraft fishing boat with a 9-ft, 6-inch beam, powered by a 454 big block, that offers plenty of room to make your Lake Erie fishing trip safe and comfortable.
