Executive Package Combo Trips - Weekdays
Skip the weekend crowds and treat yourself to some serious fishing time with Eye-Catcher Charter's Executive Package. This isn't your typical half-day outing – we're talking about a full-service fishing experience that takes care of everything so you can focus on what matters: getting fish in the boat. With lunch provided, custom catered food, and professional cleaning and filleting of your catch, this weekday combo trip is designed for anglers who want the VIP treatment without the weekend chaos.
What to Expect on the Water
Your Executive Package fishing trip accommodates up to 6 anglers, making it perfect for small groups who want personalized attention from the captain and crew. The beauty of fishing weekdays is having prime fishing spots to ourselves – no jockeying for position or dealing with weekend warrior traffic. You'll launch fresh in the morning when the fish are most active, and the crew will have you rigged up and ready before you know it. The boat comes fully equipped with quality rods, reels, tackle, and all the gear you need to land some solid fish. Don't forget to bring your valid fishing license – it's required and strictly enforced. The captain knows these waters like the back of his hand and will put you on fish whether they're holding in shallow structure or deeper drop-offs.
Techniques & Tackle Setup
This combo trip targets multiple species using proven inshore techniques that consistently produce results. We'll start with live bait presentations using slip sinker rigs and jigs tipped with minnows or leeches – absolute dynamite for both perch and walleye. The crew sets up medium-action spinning rods with 10-12 lb test line, perfect for feeling those subtle bites that these fish are famous for. Depending on conditions, we might switch to trolling with crankbaits or spinner rigs to cover more water and locate active schools. The captain uses his fish finder and GPS to mark productive spots, and once we find them, we'll anchor up and work the area thoroughly. You'll learn proper jigging techniques, how to detect light bites, and the best way to play these fish to the boat. The crew handles all the netting and unhooking, so you can focus on the fun part – fighting fish.
Top Catches This Season
American Yellow Perch are the bread and butter of this fishery, and for good reason. These scrappy little fighters travel in schools and once you find them, the action can be non-stop. Perch typically run 8-12 inches with the occasional jumbo pushing 13-14 inches – those big females are absolute gold. They're structure-oriented fish that love rocky points, weed edges, and drop-offs in 15-25 feet of water. Spring and fall are prime time when they're feeding heavily, but weekday trips often produce better results since these areas get less pressure. What makes perch so popular is their willingness to bite and their incredible table fare – sweet, flaky white meat that's perfect for a fish fry.
Walleye are the crown jewel of this combo trip and the reason serious anglers book these executive packages. These golden beauties are notorious for their finicky feeding habits and light bites, but when you connect with a good walleye, you'll understand why they're so prized. Most walleye in these waters run 14-20 inches with occasional trophies over 25 inches that'll get your heart pumping. They're typically found in deeper water during the day, relating to structure like humps, points, and breaklines in 20-35 feet. Walleye have incredible eyesight and can be spooky, which is why the reduced boat traffic on weekdays gives us a real advantage. Their meat is considered by many to be the best-tasting freshwater fish – mild, firm, and absolutely perfect for any cooking method.
