Your weekend starts early with Eye-Catcher Charter's executive treatment. We're talking custom catered food that beats any marina breakfast, plus a quality boxed lunch to keep you fueled during peak fishing hours. The boat's set up perfectly for inshore fishing with plenty of room for six anglers to work comfortably without getting tangled up. Our captain knows these waters like the back of his hand and will put you on fish whether they're schooled up in shallow bays or cruising deeper structure. The best part? When you're done fighting fish, we take care of the cleaning and filleting so you head home with restaurant-quality fillets ready for the pan. Just remember to bring your fishing license – it's the one thing we can't provide for you.
Inshore combo fishing means switching between techniques depending on what's biting and where we find them. For perch, we'll often start with light jigging rigs using small jigs tipped with minnows or worms, working structure in 15-25 feet of water. The bite can be subtle with these guys, so we use sensitive rod setups that let you feel every tap. When we're after walleye, the approach shifts to trolling crankbaits along drop-offs or casting jigs to deeper points and humps. We provide all the gear you need, from ultra-light spinning combos for perch to medium-action rigs for walleye. The key is staying mobile and adapting to conditions – some days the fish want live bait, other days they slam artificials. Our captain reads the water and adjusts tactics throughout the day to keep you connected to fish.
American Yellow Perch are the bread and butter of inshore fishing, and they're absolutely on fire right now. These striped beauties typically run 8-12 inches with the occasional jumbo pushing 14 inches that'll make your day. They school up tight, especially during cooler months, so when you find one, you've usually found a pile. Perch are aggressive feeders and hit hard for their size – that sudden thump on your line gets addictive fast. They're also some of the best eating fish in freshwater, with sweet, flaky white meat that's perfect for fish fries. The best action usually happens in the morning and late afternoon when they move shallow to feed.
Walleye are the real prize fish on these combo trips. These golden-sided predators average 16-20 inches with trophy fish over 25 inches always a possibility. They're notorious for their finicky feeding patterns, but that's what makes landing one so rewarding. Walleye have incredible eyesight in low light, making dawn and dusk prime time, though we catch them throughout the day around structure. They fight with powerful runs and head shakes that test your drag system. The meat is phenomenal – firm, white fillets with virtually no fishy taste that even non-fish eaters love. Spring and fall are peak seasons when they're most active and feeding heavily before and after the spawn.
This executive package combo trip delivers everything serious anglers want – productive fishing, premium service, and hassle-free convenience all wrapped into one weekend adventure. Whether you're targeting a mess of perch for the dinner table or hoping to land your personal best walleye, we've got the local knowledge and top-rated service to make it happen. The combination of expert guiding, quality meals, and professional fish cleaning makes this our most popular weekend offering. Spots fill up quickly, especially during peak fishing seasons, so don't wait to secure your dates. Book your executive combo trip today and experience why Eye-Catcher Charter has become the go-to choice for discerning anglers who demand the best.

Just remember to pack your fishing license and get ready for some productive time on the water with all the executive amenities you could want.
Perca FlavescensThese golden beauties with their dark vertical bars are some of the most reliable fish you'll encounter. Typically running 7-8 inches, they school up in massive groups near weedy areas, docks, and shallow structures. Spring and fall are prime time when they move into the shallows to feed. What makes them special? They're scrappy little fighters on light tackle, and the meat is sweet and flaky - perfect for a fish fry. Plus, when you find one school, you've usually found 50 more. My go-to tip: use small jigs tipped with minnows or worms, and fish them just off the bottom. Once you locate a school, work that area thoroughly because they'll stick around.
Sander VitreusThe "marble eyes" are what serious anglers come for. These sleek predators average 15-20 inches and pack serious fight in their lean frames. They hang deep during daylight around rock piles, drop-offs, and weed edges, then move shallow at dusk to hunt. Low-light periods - dawn, dusk, and overcast days - are your best bet. What sets them apart? They're smart, challenging fish that reward patience, and the eating quality is unmatched - firm, white, flaky meat with zero fishy taste. My best advice: focus on structure first, then adjust depth until you find them. A simple jig and minnow combo worked slowly along bottom contours will outproduce fancy lures every time.
