"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
Walleye are the undisputed kings of Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are known for their fierce fights and even better taste. They're crafty creatures, often hanging out near underwater structure or in schools, waiting to ambush their prey. In Lake Erie, you can find some real trophies - we're talking fish pushing 10 pounds or more. Spring and fall are prime times to target these beauties, but don't count out summer for some exciting night fishing action. There's nothing quite like the thrill of feeling that telltale 'thump' on your line and battling a big walleye to the boat. And let's not forget - these fish make for some of the best fish fries you'll ever have.
Look, Lake Erie's walleye fishing is world-class, and our full-day charters are the ticket to getting in on the action. We're talking seven solid hours on the water (unless we hit limits sooner - hey, it happens!), giving you plenty of time to get your fill of casting and catching. Remember, this is a private trip for up to four people, so grab your fishing buddies or bring the family for a day you won't forget. And if you're planning ahead, keep an eye out for our "Executive" upgrade coming in 2026 - we're talking food, drinks, and snacks to keep you fueled up while you're reeling 'em in. Don't let another season slip by without getting out on Erie - book your walleye charter with It's Called Fishin' and let's make some waves!

Lake Erie's a walleye paradise, and these golden-eyed predators are our main target. Most run 15-25 inches, but trophy fish over 30 inches aren't uncommon. Walleye hang near rocky structures and dropoffs, often 10-30 feet deep. They're most active at dawn and dusk, making for some exciting low-light fishing. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but we catch 'em year-round. Folks love walleye for their hard fights and excellent table fare. That flaky white meat is tough to beat. To boost your odds, try slow-trolling with crawler harnesses along breaklines. When you feel that distinctive tap-tap-tap, set the hook hard – walleye have bony mouths. These fish see well in low light, so don't be afraid to fish early or late. And here's a local trick: on cloudy days, try casting purple jigs tipped with minnows. For some reason, that combo's dynamite on Erie walleye.
