Michael Flores, Captain at It’s Called Fishin’

Get ready to enjoy one of the most popular Lake Erie fishing charters, where anglers of all experience levels can take on the waters of the Western Basin. Whether you're chasing after the Best Walleye Fishing Lake Erie has to offer or just out to relax on the water, this trip has you covered. The boat leaves from a prime launch spot, and depending on the time of year, you’ll be reeling in Walleye, Yellow Perch, and whatever else happens to be biting.


Aboard this 28’ Carolina Classic, groups of up to six guests can enjoy a comfortable day of fishing. The vessel is fully equipped with everything needed for a productive trip—rods, reels, tackle, and lures are all included. If live bait is preferred, it can be picked up for an additional fee. There's even a toilet on board to keep things convenient during your outing.


When it comes to walleye charter fishing Lake Erie style, this trip lets you try out various techniques to see what’s working best—whether it’s trolling, drifting, jigging, or a combo of them all. Your guide will help tailor the plan to make sure everyone has a chance to land a keeper. It’s a hands-on, engaging experience that makes every bite count.


Families looking to make memories out on the lake are more than welcome! Kids are encouraged to join the fun, and it’s always smart to bring along snacks to keep everyone energized throughout the trip. Just ask your captain if you want to bring along extra drinks or food. Bottled water and non-spray sunscreen are also good things to pack, and while alcohol is okay in moderation, glass containers and hard liquor should be left at home.


Before heading out with one of the Best Walleye Fishing Charters in Lake Erie Western Basin, make sure everyone in your group has a valid fishing license. These are easy to purchase online, or you can ask the captain for guidance on where to get them. With the right crew, solid gear, and Lake Erie’s rich waters, you’re in for a rewarding time on the lake.

Lake Erie Spring Walleye Hunt: Adapting to Weather on It's Called Fishin'

Hot bite and happy crew! Spring was in full swing as I took Emily out on Lake Erie for a morning charter from Lakeside Marblehead, OH. The day started with some rain, but It's Called Fishin' knows that sometimes the best action happens when the weather's a bit iffy. As the morning progressed, the skies began to clear, giving us perfect conditions to try our luck for walleye and perch.

We employed a variety of techniques throughout the day, switching between trolling, jigging, and bottom fishing to cover all our bases. Lake Erie's known for its excellent walleye and perch fishing, and we were determined to make the most of our time on the water. While we didn't land any trophies on this run, every cast and minute on the water was worth it. The changing weather and our persistence made for an engaging day of fishing, showcasing why Lake Erie is such a popular destination for anglers. As the day wrapped up, we headed back to Lakeside Marblehead with smiles all around. Even though the fish weren't jumping in the boat, the experience of being out on Lake Erie and trying different techniques made for a memorable outing. It's days like these that remind us why it's called fishing, not catching, and the joy is in the pursuit.

Even if the bite is slow, the experience of being out on Lake Erie is always rewarding. From Lakeside Marblehead, we have access to some of the best fishing spots on the western basin. Don't forget, spring can be an excellent time for walleye fishing as they move into shallower waters. So if you're looking for a Lake Erie fishing adventure, give us a call at It's Called Fishin'. We'll do our best to put you on the fish and ensure you have a great time out on the water, regardless of what ends up in the net.

Lake Erie Walleye Fishing Report

Walleye action is picking up near Lakeside Marblehead as water temperatures continue to rise and fish move into more predictable patterns. Anglers are seeing solid results trolling with crankbaits and worm harnesses in 20–30 feet of water. Early mornings have been best, with steady bites just after sunrise and again late afternoon.

Hot spots include areas near Kelleys Island Shoal and around the reefs off the Marblehead Peninsula. Most catches are in the 16"–22" range, with a few larger fish showing up in deeper water. Make sure you’ve got a valid Ohio fishing license and check local regulations for limits and size requirements. If you're heading out soon, pack light layers, non-spray sunscreen, and polarized sunglasses. The bite is on—now’s a great time to book your Lake Erie fishing charter from Lakeside Marblehead!

What a memorable day! Our family took my 92-year-old dad—also our grandpa—out for a Walleye trolling trip on Lake Erie. It was likely his last time on the lake he’s cherished for so many years. Huge thanks to Captain Mike and the crew for making it a successful and meaningful experience!
