7hour afternoon walleye trolling trip on Lake ErieAccommodates up to 6 guests aboard 39foot Tiara vesselAll fishing gear and equipment included with guide
Captain Kenny knows Lake Erie's walleye waters like the back of his hand, and this 7-hour afternoon charter puts you right in the heart of some of the Great Lakes' best fishing action. Starting at 1 PM, you'll spend the afternoon aboard his 39-foot Tiara yacht, "Preacher," targeting one of the most sought-after species in these waters. With space for up to 6 anglers, heated amenities, and a partially enclosed fishing platform, this top-rated charter delivers comfort and results whether you're a weekend warrior or seasoned pro. The afternoon departure gives you plenty of time to grab lunch beforehand and still be back on shore for dinner plans.
Once you step aboard the Preacher, you'll see why Captain Kenny's operation stands out from the crowd. The 39-foot Tiara offers serious fishing space without sacrificing comfort – perfect for those Lake Erie conditions that can change on a dime. The partially enclosed platform means you're protected from wind and spray while still having full access to the action. Heated amenities keep everyone comfortable during cooler months, and there's plenty of room to move around without getting in each other's way. Captain Kenny provides all the gear you'll need, from rods and reels to tackle and nets, so you can focus on what matters most – putting fish in the boat. The afternoon timing works perfectly for walleye behavior patterns, especially during peak season when these fish are actively feeding in the deeper waters where Kenny likes to run his lines.
This isn't your typical dock fishing setup – Captain Kenny runs a proven trolling operation that covers serious water to find where the walleye are holding. Trolling lets you present multiple baits at different depths and speeds, dramatically increasing your odds of connecting with fish. The setup includes planer boards to spread lines wide, downriggers for precise depth control, and a variety of proven Lake Erie walleye lures that have been putting fish in the box for years. You'll learn how trolling speed affects lure action, why certain colors work better in different conditions, and how to read the electronics to spot schools of baitfish that attract hungry walleye. Captain Kenny adjusts techniques based on weather, water temperature, and what the fish are telling him that day. The beauty of this system is that it works for everyone – beginners can learn the basics while experienced anglers pick up new tricks for their own fishing.
"Capt. Kenny took us out on the lake and gave us a grand sight seeing tour of the surrounding islands on his yacht the Preacher. Very comfortable and we had a great time learning the history of the area. Well worth doing if your going to be in the area." - Doug
Lake Erie walleye are the stuff of legends, and for good reason. These golden beauties typically run 2 to 4 pounds in these waters, with plenty of bigger fish mixed in to keep things interesting. What makes Lake Erie special is the sheer numbers – this lake produces more walleye than anywhere else in the Great Lakes system. These fish are incredibly structure-oriented, relating to underwater humps, drop-offs, and current breaks that Captain Kenny has been fishing for years. Spring and fall offer the hottest action, but summer afternoons can be phenomenal when you know where to look. Walleye have excellent eyesight in low light conditions, which is why the afternoon bite often picks up as the sun gets lower in the sky. They're also one of the best eating fish you'll find anywhere – firm, white meat with a mild flavor that makes them a customer favorite. The fight isn't about raw power like a salmon, but walleye have a distinctive head-shaking action that telegraphs right through the rod. When you feel that telltale "thump-thump" on the line, you know you've got one hooked up.
Captain Kenny's afternoon walleye trips fill up fast, especially during prime season when word gets around about the kind of action he's been finding. The 7-hour format gives you serious fishing time without eating up your entire day, and the 1 PM departure works perfectly for families or groups with different schedules. With all gear included and a heated, comfortable platform, this charter takes care of the details so you can focus on the fishing. The 6-person capacity means you're not crowded but still have enough hands to help net fish and share the excitement when someone hooks up. Remember that deposits are non-refundable, so make sure your dates work before booking. Whether you're looking to put some walleye fillets in the freezer or just want to experience some of Lake Erie's world-class fishing, Captain Kenny's got the knowledge and equipment to make it happen. Don't wait – the best fishing days book up weeks in advance, and you don't want to miss out on what could be the trip of the season.
