Captain Mario Chance isn’t just a fishing guide—he’s a dedicated fisherman with a passion for sharing the sport. Fishing has been a lifelong passion for Mario, rooted in his early experiences on the inland lakes of Northeast Ohio and deepened through countless hours exploring Lake Erie's central basin with his father and Uncle. By the age of fifteen, Mario knew he wanted to turn his passion into a profession.
Experience & Expertise
With over a decade of guiding experience, Mario has fished waters from Southwest Alaska to Southwest Florida. Yet, no matter where his adventures take him, Lake Erie remains home. Specializing in Walleye, Perch, and Steelhead, he knows how to find fish in every season—whether it’s chasing the summer walleye bite off Geneva, Ashtabula, and Conneaut or jig fishing the Western Basin reef complex in the spring.
More Than Just Fishing
For Captain Mario Chance, fishing isn’t just about the catch—it’s about the journey, the adventure, and the memories made along the way. When you book a trip with Chance Charters, you’re not just going fishing—you’re stepping into an experience built on passion, skill, and a true love for the sport.
