5-hour shared walleye jigging trip on 28-foot Duck Water boatExpert Captain Kenny Lewis guides anglers through proven Lake Erie hotspotsTrophy walleye fishing during prime nearshore feeding season at $175 per person
If you're looking to get into some serious walleye action on Lake Erie, Captain Kenny Lewis has you covered. This shared jigging trip puts you right in the thick of the action on a fully rigged 28' Duck Water boat, and at $175 per person, it's one of the best values you'll find on the lake. Whether you're new to walleye fishing or you've been chasing these golden beauties for years, Kenny knows exactly where to find them and how to put fish in the boat.
This isn't your typical charter where you sit back and wait for something to happen. Kenny runs a hands-on operation where you'll be actively jigging for walleye in some of Lake Erie's most productive waters. The 28' Duck Water gives you plenty of room to move around and work your jigs without bumping into other anglers, and the boat's electronics will keep you right on top of the fish. You'll be sharing this trip with 2-5 other anglers (minimum 3 to run), which creates a fun, social atmosphere where everyone's rooting for each other. The 5-hour duration gives you real time to dial in the bite and put together a solid day on the water. Kenny includes lunch to keep your energy up, so you can focus on fishing instead of worrying about what to eat. The captain knows that when Lake Erie cools down, those trophy walleye move shallow and start feeding hard – that's when this trip really shines.
Walleye jigging is all about staying connected to the bottom and feeling for that subtle tap that tells you a fish just picked up your bait. Kenny will have you set up with the right jig weights for the conditions – usually anywhere from 3/4 oz to 2 oz depending on wind and current. The key is keeping vertical contact with the bottom while you work the jig with short, sharp lifts followed by controlled drops. You'll be using a lift-drop-pause rhythm that drives walleye crazy, especially when they're in that aggressive fall feeding mode. The boat's GPS and fish finder keep you positioned over structure and schools of baitfish where walleye like to hang out. Kenny's local knowledge really shows here – he's not just randomly dropping jigs, he's putting you on proven spots where he's consistently found fish. The tackle is provided, but if you have your own favorite jigging rod, feel free to bring it along.
Lake Erie walleye are the gold standard for eating fish, and they put up a surprisingly good fight for their size. These fish typically run anywhere from 14 to 28 inches, with the real trophies pushing into the high 20s and even 30-plus inches during peak times. Fall is prime time because walleye are fattening up for winter, moving into shallower water to chase schools of emerald shiners and gizzard shad. What makes Lake Erie walleye so special is their incredible numbers – this lake produces more walleye than anywhere else in the Great Lakes system. They're also beautifully colored fish with that distinctive golden hue and white-tipped tail that makes them instantly recognizable. The bite can range from subtle taps that barely register on your rod tip to aggressive strikes that nearly pull the rod out of your hands. When you hook into a good one, they'll make strong runs and use their broad sides to fight you all the way to the net. The daily limit allows you to keep a nice batch for the dinner table, and there's nothing better than fresh walleye fillets from Lake Erie's clean, cold water.
At $175 per person with lunch included, this shared walleye jigging trip offers serious value for anglers who want to experience Lake Erie's world-class walleye fishing without breaking the bank. Captain Kenny Lewis brings years of local knowledge and a genuine passion for putting his clients on fish, and his 28' Duck Water boat is perfectly set up for the jigging game. The shared format lets you meet other anglers and share in the excitement when someone hooks up with a trophy. Remember that this trip needs a minimum of 3 anglers to run, but if it doesn't fill up, Kenny will either move you to another available trip or provide a full refund. Don't forget that a 15-25% tip for the captain and mate is standard practice and always appreciated when you've had a successful day on the water. Book your spot now and get ready to experience some of the best walleye fishing that Lake Erie has to offer.
