About your Captain

Welcome aboard, where your Lake Erie fishing adventure begins! I am Captain Mark Heckathorne. I have been fishing the waters of Lake Erie for over 20 years blending my extensive knowledge with a genuine passion for fishing. I operate out of a Tiara 3200 Open. Fully equipped with modern Garmin and Fish Hawk electronics, Cannon downriggers and rod holders and Shimano rods and reels. Tiara Yachts are well recognized for being a spacious and stable boat when navigating the waters of Lake Erie. I am married and have 3 children, I enjoy fishing, hunting, camping and being in the outdoors. I have had opportunities to deep sea fish in many spectacular locations in the world such as Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala. I specialize in targeting Walleye and Steelhead so whether you're a complete first-timer or a seasoned, experienced angler, you will be provided with an unforgettable, enjoyable, and highly productive fishing experience every time out.
