You'll hit prime walleye waters where these tasty fish stack up thick, especially during peak season.

This isn't just another fishing trip – it's your chance to load the cooler with some of the finest eating fish that swim in the Great Lakes.
Your day starts early when you meet the crew at the dock, ready to chase walleye across Lake Erie's productive waters. The boat comes fully rigged with top-shelf rods, reels, and all the tackle you'll need to put fish in the boat. We're talking premium gear that can handle everything from finicky biters to the occasional bonus steelhead or smallmouth that crashes the party. The captain will have you fishing within minutes of leaving the dock, heading straight to the hottest spots based on current conditions and fish reports. You'll spend six solid hours working proven techniques, and the crew stays on the fish until you hit your limit or time runs out. Weather permitting, expect to cover serious water as we follow the schools and adjust tactics throughout the day.
Lake Erie walleye fishing is all about adapting to what the fish want on any given day. We'll start with trolling spreads using bottom bouncers and spinner rigs, covering water efficiently while searching for active schools. When we mark fish on the electronics, it's time to switch gears – vertical jigging with heavy spoons or casting crankbaits to specific structure. The boat's equipped with quality fishfinders that show exactly what's happening below, so you'll see the fish before you catch them. Depending on season and conditions, we might work the famous Western Basin reefs, troll the deeper central basin waters, or target nearshore areas where baitfish concentrate. The captain reads water temperature, wind direction, and fish behavior to put you on the most aggressive biters. You'll learn why certain colors and presentations work better in Lake Erie's unique conditions, and pick up techniques you can use on future trips.
Lake Erie walleye are the main event, and for good reason – these fish grow fat and healthy in the nutrient-rich waters of the shallowest Great Lake. Most walleye you'll catch run between 14 to 20 inches, perfect eating size with firm white meat that tastes amazing fried, baked, or grilled. The bigger females, especially during pre-spawn and post-spawn periods, can push 24 inches or more and provide serious fights on medium-action rods. What makes Lake Erie walleye special is their aggressive feeding behavior – when you find a school, you can often catch fish on consecutive casts or trolling passes. Spring and fall offer the hottest action, but summer fishing stays productive if you know where to look. These fish follow massive schools of emerald shiners, gizzard shad, and other baitfish, creating feeding frenzies that can make for fast-paced action. The daily limit allows you to keep a solid mess of fish, ensuring your trip pays off with coolers full of premium table fare.
