Get ready for an awesome day out on Lake Erie with 'It's Called Fishin'! We're talking a full 7 hours of non-stop action, chasing after some of the lake's most prized catches - walleye and yellow perch. Whether you're bringing the whole family, celebrating a big event, or just looking to escape the daily grind with some buddies, we've got you covered. Our seasoned captains know exactly where the fish are biting and how to put you on them. So grab your hat and sunscreen, and let's hit the water!

Trip Overview

Picture this: You're out on the open water of Lake Erie, the sun's warming your face, and your line's suddenly tight with the telltale tug of a feisty walleye. That's what you're in for on our full-day guided fishing trip. We can set up multiple boats for larger groups, making it perfect for family reunions, corporate outings, or even bachelor parties. You'll have 7 solid hours on the water (unless we hit our limits earlier - talk about a good problem to have!). And starting in 2026, we're kicking things up a notch with our "Executive" upgrade. Think gourmet eats, plenty of cold ones (up to 2 cases of beer), and all the snacks you can handle. It's like bringing your favorite bar out on the water with you.

What to Expect on the Water

Our trips are all about giving you the best shot at landing some trophy fish, without the hassle. We provide all the gear you'll need - rods, reels, bait, the works. Depending on the time of year and where the fish are biting, we might be trolling for walleye or dropping lines for perch. Our captains are pros at reading the water and finding the honey holes. They'll show you the ropes if you're new to fishing, or trade secrets if you're an old hand. And don't worry about growling stomachs - we've got lunch covered. Just remember to bring a cooler for your catch; trust me, you'll need it!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Lake Erie isn't called the "Walleye Capital of the World" for nothing. Our trips give you a real shot at landing some serious bragging rights. But it's not just about the fish - it's the whole package. The thrill of the catch, the camaraderie on the boat, the stories you'll tell (and maybe embellish) later. Our regulars tell us it's like a mini-vacation packed into one day. And with our flexible booking for larger groups, it's become a go-to for everything from team-building events to multi-generational family outings. Plus, with our upcoming "Executive" option, you can turn a great day of fishing into a floating party.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's talk about the stars of the show: walleye and yellow perch. These aren't just any fish - they're Lake Erie royalty.

Walleye are the heavyweight champs of our waters. These bad boys can grow up to 20 pounds or more, though a good-sized catch is typically in the 3-5 pound range. They've got a mouth full of teeth and eyes that seem to glow in low light (hence the name). Walleye are known for their fight and their fantastic taste - there's nothing quite like fresh walleye for dinner. Spring and fall are prime walleye seasons, but we catch them year-round. The thrill of reeling in a big walleye is something every angler should experience at least once.

Yellow perch might be smaller, but don't let that fool you - these little fighters punch above their weight class. Averaging around 8-12 inches, perch are known for their beautiful golden color and black stripes. They're a blast to catch, often biting in quick succession once you find a school. And when it comes to eating, many folks swear by perch as the best-tasting freshwater fish out there. Late summer and early fall are typically the hottest perch seasons, but we find good numbers throughout the warmer months.

Top Catches This Season

Every season brings its own highlights, but this year has been particularly good to us. We've been seeing some monster walleye, with several guests landing fish in the 10+ pound range. The perch fishing has been on fire too, with limits being hit regularly. One group last month pulled in over 200 perch in a single day - talk about fish fries for weeks! But remember, it's not just about the numbers. We've had guests catch their personal best, kids reeling in their first fish ever, and even a few marriage proposals (apparently, nothing says romance like a boat full of fish). Every trip writes its own story, and we can't wait to see what your day on the water brings.
