Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, this small-group adventure is tailored for folks who want to zero in on Lake Erie's prized walleye. We've got room for up to 4 guests, so grab your fishing buddies and let's get after those 'eyes!
What to Expect on the Water
When you hop aboard our Lake Erie fishing vessel, you're in for a day of pure walleye pursuit. We've got all the bait and tackle you need, so just bring yourself and your game face. Our boat's rigged with an onboard toilet to keep things comfy, and there's plenty of space to stash your drinks and snacks. Feel free to bring a few cold ones if you'd like, but let's keep it reasonable - no hard stuff or glass bottles out here. Don't forget your Ohio fishing license (we can point you in the right direction if you need one), and pack some water, shades, and non-spray sunscreen to keep you feeling good all day long.
Casting for Success
On this trip, we're focusing on casting techniques to target those walleye. We'll hit some prime spots where these fish like to hang out, and I'll show you the tricks to entice them to bite. We might use jigs, crankbaits, or even live bait depending on what the walleye are in the mood for. The beauty of casting is that you're actively fishing the whole time - feeling for that telltale strike and setting the hook just right. It's a hands-on approach that'll keep you engaged and excited with every cast.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
"What a memorable day! Our family took my 92-year-old dad—also our grandpa—out for a Walleye trolling trip on Lake Erie. It was likely his last time on the lake he's cherished for so many years. Huge thanks to Captain Mike and the crew for making it a successful and meaningful experience!" - Stephen
Species You'll Want to Hook
Walleye are the stars of the show on Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are known for their tasty white flesh and the challenge they present to anglers. Walleye typically run between 2-5 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a real Lake Erie monster pushing 10 pounds or more! They tend to be most active during low light conditions, so early mornings and evenings can be prime time. Walleye love to hang around rocky areas and drop-offs, using their keen eyesight to ambush prey. When you feel that distinctive tap-tap-tap on your line, get ready for a fight - these fish know how to use the current to their advantage.
While we're focusing on walleye, don't be surprised if we run into some hefty yellow perch as well. American Yellow Perch might be smaller than their walleye cousins, but they're no less fun to catch. These feisty fish usually weigh in at about a pound, but Lake Erie is known for producing some jumbos. Perch travel in schools, so when you find them, the action can be fast and furious. They've got a delicate, sweet flavor that many folks prefer even to walleye. Spring and fall are typically the best seasons for perch, but you can find them year-round in Lake Erie.
Time to Book Your Spot
If you're itching to get out on Lake Erie and tangle with some walleye, this Private Full-Day Walleye Casting trip is calling your name. With personalized attention, top-notch gear, and insider knowledge of where the fish are biting, you're set up for a day of non-stop action. Whether you're looking to fill the cooler or just enjoy the thrill of the catch, Lake Erie's walleye fishery is hard to beat. Don't let this chance slip away - grab your spot on the boat and get ready for some rod-bending, drag-screaming fun. See you on the water!

American Yellow Perch
Walleye are the prized catch of Lake Erie, typically growing to 20-30 inches and 5-10 pounds. These golden-olive fish with distinctive glowing eyes prefer deeper, cooler waters during the day, moving to shallows at night to feed. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but summer nights can be productive too. Anglers love walleye for their tasty, flaky white meat and the challenge they present. They're structure-oriented fish, so target drop-offs, rock piles, and weed edges. Trolling with crankbaits or bottom-bouncing with live bait rigs work well. For a local trick, try jigging with a minnow in 15-25 feet near underwater points – the walleye often stack up there. The fight isn't spectacular, but the reward of fresh walleye for dinner makes it all worthwhile. Just remember, these fish have excellent vision in low light, so dawn and dusk are your best bets for a memorable catch.
Walleye
American Yellow Perch are smaller cousins to walleye, usually 7-10 inches long. You'll find them in Lake Erie's shallower areas, often near weed beds, docks, or fallen trees. These golden fish with dark vertical bars are active year-round, but spring and fall tend to be best. Perch are schooling fish, so where you catch one, there's likely more. Anglers enjoy targeting them for their tasty meat and the fast action they provide – it's not uncommon to catch dozens in a day. Light tackle with small jigs or live bait like minnows or worms works great. Here's a local tip: if you're struggling to find perch, look for flocks of diving birds. They're often feeding on the same baitfish as the perch. The fight might not be huge, but the non-stop action and delicious fish fry afterward make perch fishing a Lake Erie favorite.
