Captain Larry Patterson is a US Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain. Having over 15+ years fishing experience on Lake Erie.

I started out as a recreational fisherman. In 2011, I started thinking about chartering part time. In the winter of 2012/2013, I completed the US Coast Guard approved Sea Tech Marine captain school/training, and achieved the credentials of Master Captain 50 Ton, Assisted Towing, and OUPV.(Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessel, also know as "Six Pack License").

As a fully licensed charter captain, I am also First Aid/CPR certified, and a member of a Maritime Drug Consortium. Safety is our first concern.

I have a full time job, and charter fish on a part time basis. If I am not at work I am on the water fishing!
