Ready to reel in some of Lake Erie's finest? Our 7-hour Walleye and Yellow Perch fishing charter is the real deal for anglers looking to max out their morning on the water. We'll hit the lake at the crack of dawn, armed with expert know-how and all the gear you need to land the big ones. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, this trip's got something for everyone.
We kick things off bright and early at 6 AM, giving us prime time on Lake Erie when the fish are most active. You'll be in good hands with our seasoned captains who know these waters like the back of their hand. We'll mix it up with different fishing methods - trolling to cover ground, drifting with the current, and jigging for those bottom-dwellers. Our boat's decked out with a toilet on board, so no worries about comfort during our 7-hour stint. Feel free to bring your own cooler with drinks and snacks, and if you want to crack a cold one, that's cool with us (just keep the hard stuff at home, alright?).
Lake Erie's not called the Walleye Capital of the World for nothing, folks. We'll be targeting the prized Walleye and the tasty Yellow Perch, two of the lake's most sought-after species. Our arsenal includes top-notch trolling gear, drift rigs, and jigging setups to give you the best shot at filling the cooler. We'll show you the ropes on how to work each technique, from setting the perfect trolling speed to feeling that subtle perch nibble. And hey, if you've got a favorite lure or technique you swear by, we're all ears - this is your trip, after all!
It's not just about the fish - though that's a big part of it. Our trips are known for the laid-back vibe and the wealth of knowledge our guides bring to the table. You'll pick up tips and tricks that'll up your fishing game whether you're out on Erie or your local pond. Plus, starting in 2026, we're rolling out our "Executive" upgrade option. For an extra $350, you can customize your on-board menu with food, drinks, and snacks. Talk about fishing in style! (Just remember, we cap the beer at two cases - we want you catching fish, not zzz's.)
Walleye: These bad boys are the crown jewels of Lake Erie fishing. Known for their tasty white flesh and those signature marble eyes, Walleye put up a great fight and make for even better eating. They typically run 2-5 pounds, but don't be shocked if you hook into a 10-pounder - it happens more often than you'd think! Walleye tend to hang out near the bottom in cooler, deeper waters during the day, so we'll be dropping our lines deep. The bite is usually best in low-light conditions, which is why we get out there early.
Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you - these little fighters are a blast to catch and a treat for the taste buds. Lake Erie perch are known for their sweet, mild flavor and firm texture. They usually range from 8-12 inches and love to school up, so when you find 'em, it's often fish-on for everyone! We'll target perch by drifting or anchoring over rocky areas and using light tackle with small minnows or worms. The fun part about perch fishing is the constant action - it's not uncommon to pull in double-headers or even have the whole boat hooked up at once!
Listen, if you're itching for a day on Lake Erie that combines serious fishing with a good time, this is your ticket. We've got room for up to 6 anglers, so grab your buddies or bring the family. Remember, we fish for 7 hours or until we hit the limit - whichever comes first. And trust me, there's nothing like the feeling of coming back to the dock with a cooler full of Erie's finest. So what are you waiting for? The Walleye and Perch are calling, and we've got your seat saved. Book now and get ready for a fishing trip that'll have you hooked on Lake Erie for good!
Walleye are the crown jewel of Lake Erie fishing. These golden-olive predators typically run 15-25 inches, with trophy fish pushing 30 inches and 10+ pounds. They're deep-water hunters, hanging around rocky structures and drop-offs during the day. Come evening, they move shallow to feed, which is when the bite really heats up. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but summer can be hot too if you know where to look. Anglers love walleye for their hard fights and top-notch table fare – there's nothing quite like fresh walleye for dinner. To improve your odds, try slow-trolling with crawler harnesses near the bottom. When you feel that telltale tap-tap, set the hook hard – walleye have bony mouths and can be tricky to hook. But once you're on, hang on tight. These fish pull like freight trains and will test your gear and skills. It's a rush every time.
