Executive Package - Weekdays
Looking for a top-rated weekday fishing trip that won't break the bank? Eye-Catcher Charter's Executive Package is exactly what serious anglers have been asking for. This customer favorite combines productive inshore fishing with a custom catered lunch that'll keep your energy up all day. We're talking deli meats, cheese, fresh fruit, and veggie trays with all the fixings - no gas station snacks here. Whether you're targeting walleye or perch, this world-class package delivers the kind of fishing experience that keeps guests coming back season after season.
What to Expect on the Water
Your day starts early with our seasoned captain who knows these waters like the back of his hand. We keep groups small at just 6 anglers max, so you're not fighting for rail space or dealing with crowded conditions. The beauty of weekday trips? Less boat traffic, calmer waters, and fish that haven't been pressured all weekend long. You'll decide upfront whether you want to focus on walleye or perch - both species are absolutely phenomenal in these parts, and our crew will put you on the best bite of the day. The catered spread gets laid out mid-morning, giving everyone a chance to fuel up without missing prime fishing time. Don't forget your fishing license - it's the one thing we can't provide for you, but everything else is covered.
Techniques & Tackle Setup
We run a variety of proven techniques depending on what the fish are telling us. For walleye, expect to work with jigs tipped with minnows, crawler harnesses behind bottom bouncers, and maybe some trolling with crankbaits if the bite calls for it. Perch fishing is a whole different game - we'll get you set up with small jigs, live bait rigs, and ultra-light tackle that makes every fish feel like a monster. Our boats come equipped with quality rods, reels, and tackle boxes stocked with everything that's been producing lately. The electronics package includes fish finders and GPS units that help us stay on productive structure throughout the day. Water depth typically ranges from 15 to 40 feet, perfect for both species we're targeting. Wind conditions are usually more manageable on weekdays, letting us fish spots that get too rough on busy weekends.
Species You'll Want to Hook
American Yellow Perch are the bread and butter of inshore fishing around here, and for good reason. These feisty fighters typically run 8 to 12 inches, with the occasional jumbo pushing 14 inches that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. They school up tight, so when you find them, you've usually found a bunch. Peak season runs from late spring through early fall, but weekday trips often produce better numbers since the schools haven't been disturbed. What makes perch so popular? They fight harder than their size suggests, they're absolutely delicious on the dinner table, and kids love catching them. You'll find them relating to structure like drop-offs, weed edges, and rocky points where they ambush small baitfish.
Walleye are the crown jewel of freshwater fishing, and our local population is simply outstanding. These golden beauties average 14 to 18 inches, with plenty of keepers in the 2 to 4 pound range and the occasional trophy that'll test your drag system. They're most active during low-light periods - early morning, late afternoon, and overcast days - which makes them perfect for all-day trips. Walleye have incredible eyesight and can be finicky, but that's what makes landing one so rewarding. Their white, flaky meat is considered the gold standard for eating fish, so you're not just catching a great fighter, you're bringing home dinner. They prefer deeper structure during bright conditions but will move shallow to feed, especially when the weather cooperates.
