Lake Erie's Walleye & Perch Fishing Adventure

Ready to reel in some of Lake Erie's finest? Our quick guided trips are perfect for anglers of all levels looking to hook into walleye and yellow perch. Whether you're itching to cast for walleye or fill the cooler with tasty perch, we've got you covered. Hop aboard with 'It's Called Fishin'' and let's make some waves on Erie!

What to Expect on the Water

We're talking 3 hours of pure fishing action or until we hit our limits - whichever comes first. For walleye, we'll either be trolling with a max of 6 people or casting with a more intimate group of 4. Perch fishing? Bring the whole crew - up to 6 can join in on the fun. And here's the kicker: starting in 2026, we're rolling out our "Executive" upgrade. For an extra $350, you can customize your trip with food, drinks, and snacks. (Don't worry, we know what you're thinking - and yes, that includes up to 2 cases of beer!) Plus, we'll take care of cleaning your catch, so you can focus on the important stuff - like bragging rights.

Techniques & Gear Rundown

Alright, let's talk shop. For walleye, we're either trolling or casting - dealer's choice. Trolling's great for covering more water and letting the fish come to us. We'll set up with planer boards, diving plugs, and maybe some crawler harnesses if the fish are feeling picky. Casting? That's where the real action is. We'll use jigs tipped with soft plastics or live bait, working the water column to find those aggressive 'eyes. For perch, we're going old school - drop shotting with minnows or worms. Simple, effective, and guaranteed to fill the cooler. We've got all the gear you need, from rods and reels to the latest fish-finding tech. Just bring your game face and maybe a lucky hat.

Top Catches This Season

Lake Erie's been on fire lately, folks. We're seeing walleye in the 5-8 pound range, with some real monsters pushing 10+ pounds. These fish are fat, healthy, and fighting like crazy. As for perch, we're talking about the jumbo variety - those 12-14 inchers that make for the best fish fries. The key is knowing where to find 'em, and that's where our local knowledge comes in handy. We're not just fishing - we're putting you on the fish.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye: The crown jewel of Lake Erie, walleye are the reason anglers flock here from all over. These golden-eyed predators are known for their aggressive strikes and tasty fillets. They typically range from 2-5 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 10-pounder - it happens more often than you'd think! Walleye tend to be most active during low light conditions, so early mornings and evenings can be prime time. In the spring and fall, they move into shallower waters, making for some exciting near-shore action.

Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you - yellow perch are pound-for-pound some of the feistiest fish in the lake. These striped beauties usually run 8-12 inches, but the jumbos can push 14-15 inches. They're schooling fish, so when you find one, you've often found a whole bunch. Perch are bottom feeders and love to hang around structure. The best part? They're absolutely delicious. There's a reason why Lake Erie perch are world-famous. They're most active in the summer and fall, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, there's a reason Lake Erie is called the "Walleye Capital of the World." The fishing here is just bonkers. We're talking about some of the best walleye and perch fishing you'll find anywhere. Period. But it's not just about the fish - it's about the experience. There's something special about being out on Erie, watching the sunrise over the water, feeling that first tug on your line. And let's be real - nothing beats the satisfaction of bringing home a cooler full of fish for the family fish fry. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time wetting a line, we'll make sure you have a blast and learn something new.

Time to Book Your Spot
