Captain Keny Lewis is the owner and operator of Captain Ken’s Wild Wings, offering premier duck hunting and fishing charters based out of Port Clinton, Ohio. A lifelong outdoorsman and U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain, Ken brings decades of experience, grit, and passion to every trip on Lake Erie. After leaving the Army in 1990, Ken started a career in repair work and soon discovered the thrill of waterfowl hunting on Lake Erie. One duck hunt was all it took — he was hooked. He started hunting more often, bought his first boat, and sharpened his skills. Encouraged by his uncle, he earned his Coast Guard license, began writing for Ohio Sportsman Magazine, and spent every vacation day running hunts on the water. By 1996, he expanded into fishing charters, eventually running 30–50 trips a year from his 27’ SportCraft. In 2005, Ken was called back to military service, serving in Iraq and Afghanistan while pastoring and continuing to grow his guide business with the help of trusted captains back home.Fishing has been a part of Ken’s life since childhood — but duck hunting came after the military. It’s that unique path that defines his approach today: focused, disciplined, and adaptable. What sets Captain Ken apart from other guides in the region is simple — time, preparation, and adaptability. Drawing from his military background, Ken brings a strategic mindset to every outing. He’s always planning for changing conditions, using top-tier gear, and bringing backup plans to make sure every guest gets the best experience possible.Whether you’re chasing trophy walleye or on the marsh at first light for waterfowl, you’re in the hands of a guide who’s been there, done it, and never gets complacent.

Our Master Guides

Explore Lake Erie's Premier Fishing & Hunting Grounds

Lake Erie’s western basin is a prime destination for anglers and hunters alike, offering rich fishing grounds from the Detroit River to the Bass Islands. Known as the Walleye Capital of the World, this area thrives with walleye, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, and more—thanks to its nutrient-packed waters and annual migration patterns. From spring spawning runs to peak summer action, seasonal shifts bring new opportunities. Though 90% of the region’s historic wetlands have been lost, migrating ducks still pass through, making it a unique spot for combo fishing and duck hunts. Explore detailed area maps, seasonal tips, and local regulations to make the most of your trip. From the Maumee Bay to Port Clinton, Sandusky Bay, and the Black Swamp region, each zone offers unique structure, depth, and conditions ideal for targeting specific species. Early spring jigging in the rivers, summer trolling near the reefs, and fall duck hunting in open water all deliver unforgettable action. Use our maps and resources to choose your launch point and get dialed in on the best times, tactics, and gear for your Lake Erie adventure.
