What to Expect on the Water

Lake Erie isn't just any fishing spot – it's walleye central, and we know exactly where they're hanging out. Your day starts early when the fish are most active, and you'll spend either 4 or 7 hours (your choice) working the best spots on the lake. The vibe is laid-back but focused. We're here to put fish in the boat, but we're also here to make sure you have a blast doing it. Don't worry about experience levels – I've seen complete beginners outfish guys who've been at it for decades. Lake Erie has a way of surprising everyone. The water conditions change throughout the day, and that's part of what makes it interesting. One minute you're working shallow flats, the next you're dropping lines in deeper channels. Each spot tells a different story, and the fish respond differently depending on weather, time of day, and season.

Techniques & Tackle Setup

We'll be running a mix of trolling and drift fishing depending on what the fish want that day. Lake Erie walleye are notorious for being picky, so we switch up techniques until we find what works. Most of the time, we're trolling worm harnesses and crankbaits at different speeds and depths until we locate the schools. Once we mark fish, we might switch to jigging or drift fishing to really dial in on them. The perch fishing is a different game entirely – these guys love to school up tight, so when we find them, it's often non-stop action. We'll anchor up over structure or drift the edges where they like to feed. All the gear is provided, but if you've got a lucky rod or favorite tackle box, bring it along. The rigs we use are pretty specific to Lake Erie conditions – lighter than what you'd use for other Great Lakes fishing, but heavy enough to handle the wind and waves that pop up.

Top Catches This Season

Lake Erie walleye are the main event here, and for good reason. These fish are built for eating and fighting – they'll test your drag on the hookset and end up tasting amazing on your dinner table. Peak walleye season runs from late spring through early fall, with the best action typically happening in May through June and again in September. During summer months, they go deeper and require more finesse, but that's when you often hook into the bigger ones. A good day sees limits of 15-18 inch walleye, with plenty of keepers in the 20+ inch range. The lake record is over 30 inches, and those giants are still swimming around out there. American Yellow Perch are the perfect complement to walleye fishing. These smaller fish are aggressive biters and incredibly tasty – many anglers consider them the best eating fish in the lake. Perch run in huge schools, so when you find them, you can fill your cooler fast. They're also great for kids and new anglers since they bite readily and fight hard for their size. Peak perch fishing happens in late summer and fall when they school up in massive numbers preparing for winter.
