If you’re ready to enjoy fishing in Toledo, book a trip with J&M Cruise Lines. With one of our licensed captains at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Walleye, Yellow Perch, and whatever else is biting.
During the trip you might be jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. You’re welcome to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
You’ll step aboard a 65′ Headboat that holds up to 100 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience.
Rods and reels are not included, so ask the captain about bringing your own or renting some for an extra cost. Be sure to ask about lures as well.
You’ll have the help of a First Mate to assist throughout your trip. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
Before coming aboard, it is required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online.
You can’t go wrong when you bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
