Guided Morning Walleye Fishing Trip On Lake Erie
Captain Kenny knows Lake Erie's walleye patterns like the back of his hand, and he's ready to put you on fish during the most productive hours of the day. This 7-hour morning charter targets walleye when they're actively feeding, giving you the best shot at filling your cooler with some of the Great Lakes' finest eating fish. Whether you're a weekend warrior or someone who's never held a fishing rod, Kenny's approach gets everyone involved and catching fish. The 39-foot Tiara provides plenty of room for up to 6 anglers, with heated cabin space that keeps you comfortable when Lake Erie throws you a curveball with weather.
What to Expect on the Water
You'll meet Captain Kenny at the dock before sunrise, when the lake is calm and walleye are starting their morning bite. The 39-foot Tiara isn't just a fishing platform - it's your floating headquarters for the day, equipped with everything needed to locate and catch walleye consistently. The heated indoor seating makes a huge difference during spring and fall trips when temperatures can be unpredictable. Kenny provides all the rods, reels, tackle, and safety equipment, so you can focus on what matters most: landing fish. The spacious deck layout means everyone gets prime fishing real estate without bumping elbows, and there's plenty of room to move around when fighting a fish. Just bring your valid Michigan fishing license, some snacks if you get hungry, and whatever beverages you prefer for the morning.
Trolling Tactics That Work
Captain Kenny runs a trolling operation that covers serious water and puts lures in front of active walleye all morning long. Trolling is the most effective way to locate fish on a massive body of water like Lake Erie, allowing you to present multiple baits at different depths until you dial in what the fish want. The boat runs several lines at once using planer boards and downriggers, spreading your presentation across a wide area and targeting different zones in the water column. When fish are marked on the electronics or a rod fires off, Kenny adjusts the spread to work that productive water thoroughly. The beauty of this system is that it works for everyone - beginners can learn the basics of playing fish while experienced anglers appreciate the technical aspects of reading sonar and adjusting presentations. All the tackle is tournament-grade stuff that can handle Lake Erie's biggest walleye, and Kenny switches up colors, sizes, and depths based on conditions and what the fish are telling him.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Catch our limit of Walleye everyday! Go with Ken and you will catch big fish. Looking forward to our next visit!" - Mike
Top Catches This Season
Walleye are the crown jewel of Lake Erie fishing, and for good reason. These fish are aggressive predators that fight hard, grow big, and taste better than just about anything else swimming in freshwater. Lake Erie walleye typically run between 2 and 8 pounds, with fish over 10 pounds caught regularly during peak seasons. Spring and fall offer the most consistent action, when walleye move shallow to feed heavily before and after the spawn. Summer fishing can be excellent too, especially during low-light periods when walleye cruise the thermocline looking for schools of baitfish. What makes walleye so special is their willingness to bite artificial lures, their spectacular table fare, and the way they fight with powerful runs and head-shaking determination. Lake Erie's massive forage base of emerald shiners, gizzard shad, and round gobies keeps these fish fat and healthy year-round. The lake's relatively shallow western basin creates perfect walleye habitat with rocky reefs, drop-offs, and current breaks that concentrate fish. When you hook into a Lake Erie walleye, you're connecting with one of the most sought-after gamefish in North America, in waters that produce some of the biggest and most abundant populations anywhere.
