Lake Erie's Best: Walleye & Perch Fishing

Ready for a real Lake Erie adventure? Our Walleye and Yellow Perch Fishing Charter is the perfect way to experience the thrill of landing some of the lake's most prized catches. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, we've got you covered. This trip is all about having a blast on the water, learning some new tricks, and hopefully filling up the cooler with some tasty fish for dinner.

Trip Overview

We're talking about a 3-hour fishing bonanza on the big waters of Lake Erie. You've got options here – we can go trolling for walleye with up to 6 people, or if you're feeling sporty, we can do some casting with a 4-person max. Perch fishing more your style? Bring the whole crew of 6 and we'll drop lines for those tasty yellow bellies. 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. Heck, we'll even let you bring two cases of your favorite brew. Best part? Fish cleaning's on us, so you can focus on the fun stuff.

Rods, Reels, and Techniques

Alright, let's break down how we fish on Erie. For walleye, we've got two main approaches. Trolling's the laid-back option – we'll set up multiple lines with crankbaits or crawler harnesses and cruise the lake, letting the fish come to us. It's perfect if you want to kick back and enjoy the ride. Now, if you're itching for more action, casting's where it's at. We'll use jigs or stick baits, working the water column to entice those walleye. For perch fishing, we keep it simple – drop shots with minnows or worms, right to the bottom where those little fighters hang out. 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.

What Anglers Are Raving About

Our customers can't stop talking about their trips, but we don't have any specific quotes to share just yet. What we can tell you is that folks love the variety of fishing we offer, the knowledge of our guides, and the chance to land some serious Lake Erie giants. Whether it's a trophy walleye or a bucket of perch, our anglers leave with big smiles and even bigger fish stories.

Lake Erie's Prized Catches

Walleye: These bad boys are the crown jewels of Lake Erie fishing. Known for their fight and their flavor, walleye can grow up to 20 pounds or more in these waters. They're most active in low light conditions, so early mornings or evenings can be prime time. Walleye hang out near structure and drop-offs, and they're absolute suckers for a well-presented bait. The "walleye chop" – a light wind creating small waves – is perfect for stirring up these predators. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but don't count out the summer night bite. There's nothing quite like the thump of a walleye hitting your line – it's addictive!

Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you – these little guys pack a punch in both fight and flavor. Lake Erie perch are famous for a reason. They typically run 8-12 inches, but we've seen some jumbos pushing 15 inches. Perch are schooling fish, so when you find 'em, it's game on. They love to hang near the bottom, often in huge numbers. Late summer and fall are prime perch seasons, but you can catch 'em year-round. The best part? Perch are perfect for anglers of all ages and skill levels. Once you start reeling these in, you'll see why we call it "Erie Gold".

Time to Get Your Line Wet

Look, whether you're after the thrill of battling a big walleye or the non-stop action of a perch frenzy, this Lake Erie charter has got you covered. We're not just offering a fishing trip – we're giving you a shot at some of the best freshwater angling in the country. Our experienced guides know these waters like the back of their hand, and we're all about making sure you have a great time out there. So why wait? Grab your buddies, your kids, or just treat yourself to a day on the water. The fish are biting, the boat's ready, and we've got a cooler with your name on it. Book your Lake Erie adventure now and let's make some waves!

Learn more about the species

American Yellow Perch

Lake Erie's yellow perch are a blast to catch and even better to eat. These golden-hued fish usually run 7-8 inches, but can reach up to 15 inches if you're lucky. You'll find them schooling near the bottom in 15-30 feet of water, often around weed beds or rocky areas. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but summer can be good too. Perch are aggressive feeders and put up a scrappy fight on light tackle. Their firm, white meat is absolutely delicious - there's a reason they're a local favorite. To boost your odds, try a simple perch spreader rig with minnows or worms. Keep your bait near the bottom and be ready for quick, light bites. Once you find a school, it's not unusual to catch dozens. Kids especially love perch fishing because of the fast action. Whether you're after a fish fry or just want steady action, yellow perch are hard to beat.

Walleye

Walleye are the crown jewel of Lake Erie fishing. These olive-gold predators average 2-3 pounds but can top 10 pounds. They're most active in low light, hanging near bottom structure like rock piles and drop-offs in 15-35 feet of water. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but summer night fishing can be red hot too. Walleye put up a great fight and are prized for their firm, flaky white meat. They can be tricky to catch, which is part of the fun. One local trick is to troll with crawler harnesses just off the bottom, varying your speed until you find what works. Another good bet is jigging with minnows around underwater points. Walleye have excellent night vision, so don't be afraid to fish after dark. The "Erie Dearie" weight-forward spinner is a local go-to lure. Whether you're after a trophy or a limit for the table, walleye fishing on Lake Erie is tough to beat.
