Hey there, fellow anglers! Ready to hit Lake Erie for some serious walleye action? Our 6-hour charter puts you right where the fish are biting.

It's the best of both worlds, but hey, if you've got a favorite technique, we can stick to that too. This trip's perfect for anyone looking to load up on walleye and have a blast doing it. Let's get you out on the water!
Picture this: You're cruising out on Lake Erie's choppy waters, rod in hand, ready to tangle with some of the biggest walleye in the Great Lakes. We'll kick things off trolling - that's where the big boys like to hang out. Once we've got a few in the box, we'll head over to the reefs for some good old-fashioned casting and jigging. It's a mixed bag of techniques that'll keep you on your toes and the fish coming all day long. And don't worry if you're new to this - we'll show you the ropes and have you fishing like a pro in no time.
Alright, let's break down how we're gonna catch these walleye. First up, trolling - we'll be dragging lures behind the boat, covering a ton of water to find where they're schooling. We use top-notch gear and electronics to dial in the perfect depth and speed. Once we've nailed that, it's fish on! Then we'll switch to the reefs, where you'll get to cast and jig. This is where finesse comes into play. We'll show you how to work those jigs just right to entice the walleye hiding in the structure. It's a bit more hands-on, and when you feel that thump on your line, you'll be hooked for life!
Let's talk walleye - these aren't your average fish. Lake Erie walleye are known for growing to trophy sizes, we're talking 10-pounders that'll put your drag to the test. They're smart, they fight hard, and man, do they taste good (if you're into that). Spring and fall are prime time for the big ones, but summer can be red hot too. These fish love to hang out near drop-offs and underwater structures, which is why knowing where to look is key. And let me tell you, when you're reeling one in, feeling that head shake, you'll understand why anglers come from all over to fish Erie's walleye.

We've got the hot spots dialed in, the best gear ready to go, and all the local know-how to put you on fish. So what are you waiting for?

Trust me, once you've felt the tug of an Erie walleye, you'll be planning your next trip before we even hit the dock!
Walleye are the crown jewel of Lake Erie fishing. These golden-olive predators typically run 15-25 inches and put up a scrappy fight. You'll find them hanging around rocky reefs, drop-offs, and weed edges in 10-30 feet of water. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but summer nights can be red hot too. Walleye have amazing low-light vision, so dawn and dusk are your best bets. They're sought after for their flaky white meat - some of the tastiest freshwater fish you'll ever eat. Trolling with crankbaits is popular, but if you really want to feel the bite, try jigging soft plastics near the bottom. Here's a local tip: when the fish seem finnicky, downsize your bait and slow your presentation way down. Sometimes a tiny jig head with a piece of nightcrawler barely moving is all it takes to trigger a strike. Whether you're after a trophy or a delicious dinner, walleye fishing on Erie is hard to beat.
