Private Lake Erie fishing charters for up to 4 guestsHalfday and fullday trip options available dailyExpert crew guidance for all skill levels
When you're looking for serious walleye action on Lake Erie, Captain Rob Ebersole and Scary Good Sportfishing deliver the goods every single time. This isn't your typical charter operation – Rob knows these waters like the back of his hand, and his passion for putting clients on fish shows in every trip. Whether you're planning a half-day morning run starting at 6:00 AM, an afternoon session departing at 3:00 PM, or going all-out with a 6-hour adventure beginning at 7:00 AM, you're in for some world-class fishing. Lake Erie's reputation as the walleye capital of the world isn't just talk – it's backed up by consistent action that keeps anglers coming back season after season.
Captain Rob runs a tight ship that accommodates up to 4 guests, making this a perfect choice for small groups who want personalized attention and prime fishing spots all to themselves. The beauty of these private charters is flexibility – Rob tailors each trip to match your crew's experience level and preferences. First-time anglers get the full treatment with hands-on instruction, while seasoned veterans can focus on technique refinement and targeting trophy fish. Lake Erie's massive size means there's always somewhere productive to fish, regardless of weather conditions or seasonal patterns. Rob's local knowledge shines when it comes to reading the water, understanding current breaks, and positioning the boat where walleye are feeding most actively. You'll spend your time actually fishing instead of running around looking for spots, which makes all the difference in your catch rate.
Lake Erie walleye fishing is all about trolling, and Captain Rob has this technique dialed in perfectly. You'll be pulling bottom bouncers with spinner rigs, crankbaits, and worm harnesses at precise speeds to trigger strikes from feeding walleye. The key is maintaining the right depth and speed combination while covering water efficiently. Rob provides all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you'll need, including those crucial lead weights that keep your presentations in the strike zone. Planer boards spread your lines out wide, letting you cover more water and avoid spooking fish directly under the boat. Don't worry if you've never used planer boards before – Rob walks everyone through the process and handles the technical stuff while you focus on feeling for bites and fighting fish. The electronics on board include fish finders and GPS units that help locate schools and mark productive areas for future reference.

Walleye are the undisputed kings of Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden beauties average 2-4 pounds, with plenty of 6-8 pounders mixed in to keep things interesting. Trophy fish over 10 pounds show up regularly enough to keep every angler's heart racing on each hookset. What makes Lake Erie walleye special is their incredible fighting ability and pristine table fare – you simply won't find better eating fish anywhere. Prime walleye season runs from April through October, with spring and fall offering some of the most consistent action. During summer months, fish move to deeper water but remain active throughout the day, especially when you're trolling at the right depths. Walleye have excellent eyesight in low light conditions, which explains why early morning and late afternoon trips can be absolutely phenomenal. Their feeding behavior changes with seasons and weather patterns, but Captain Rob stays on top of these movements and adjusts tactics accordingly. The thrill of a walleye bite is subtle but unmistakable – that gentle tick-tick-tick on your rod tip followed by steady weight as the fish loads up. Once hooked, walleye make determined runs and fight hard right to the net, making every fish feel like a victory.

The fact that meals aren't included actually works in your favor – you can pack exactly what your crew wants to eat and drink, plus you'll have more time with lines in the water instead of sitting around eating. Rob's expertise in reading Lake Erie's moods and patterns means you're fishing with someone who genuinely cares about your success.
