Ready to chase some walleye on Lake Erie? You're in for a treat. Our full-day guided casting trip is the real deal - we're talking seven solid hours of fishing or until you hit your limit, whichever comes first. We've got room for up to four anglers, so grab your buddies and let's hit the water. Don't sweat the gear - we've got all the rods, reels, and bait you need. Just show up ready to fish, and maybe bring a cooler with some snacks and drinks. Oh, and if you want to crack open a cold one while you're out there? No problem. We're cool with moderate drinking on board. Trust me, there's nothing like reeling in a big walleye with a beer in hand.
Here's the lowdown on your day out with It's Called Fishin'. We're zeroing in on Lake Erie's walleye hotspots, using some slick casting techniques that'll work whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned pro. Our boat's got everything you need - including a toilet, so no worries there. And get this - starting in 2026, we're rolling out a sweet upgrade option. For an extra $350, you can go "Executive" style. We're talking a full menu of food, drinks, and snacks. Heck, you can even bring up to two cases of beer if that's your thing. It's all about making your day on the water as comfortable as it is exciting.
Alright, let's talk technique. We're not just sitting around waiting for fish to bite - we're actively hunting these walleye. Casting is the name of the game here. We'll show you how to work those lures just right, making them dance in the water to catch a walleye's eye. We use a mix of crankbaits, jigs, and live bait rigs, depending on what the fish are biting that day. And don't worry if you've never casted before - we'll have you flinging that line like a pro in no time. It's all about reading the water, finding the right spots, and putting your bait where the walleye are hiding. Trust me, when you feel that first tug on your line, you'll be hooked (pun intended).
"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
Let's talk about why we're all here - the walleye. These bad boys are the pride of Lake Erie, and for good reason. Walleye can grow up to 20 pounds or more, though your average catch is usually in the 2-5 pound range. Don't let that fool you though - even a smaller walleye will give you a good fight. They've got those big, glassy eyes that help them see in low light, which is why they're often most active at dawn and dusk. That said, we know how to find them all day long.
Walleye are known for their tender, flaky white meat - it's some of the best eating fish you'll find in freshwater. They tend to hang out near the bottom, especially around structures like rocky reefs or dropoffs. Spring and fall are prime walleye seasons on Lake Erie, but we catch them year-round. There's nothing quite like the feeling of a walleye striking your lure - it's usually a solid thump followed by some head shakes. And when you're reeling one in? Man, it's like bringing in a bar of gold. That's why they call 'em "golden walleye" - both for their color and their value to anglers.
So, what do you say? Ready to get out there and tangle with some Lake Erie walleye? This full-day trip is your ticket to some of the best walleye fishing you'll find anywhere. Whether you're looking to fill your freezer, chase that personal best, or just enjoy a day on the water with friends, we've got you covered. Remember, all the gear is provided, the boat is comfortable, and our guides know these waters like the back of their hand. Don't wait too long to book - the fish are biting, and spots fill up fast. Give us a call, and let's get you out on Lake Erie for a walleye adventure you won't forget. Trust me, once you hook into one of these fighters, you'll see why they call it fishin', not catchin'. But with us, you'll be doing plenty of both.

Walleye are the bread and butter of Lake Erie fishing. These golden-olive predators typically run 15-25 inches, with a 10-pounder being a real trophy. They're structure-oriented fish, hanging near drop-offs, rock piles, and weed edges. During the day, you'll find them deeper, but they move shallow to feed at night. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but summer can be great too if you know where to look. Anglers love walleye for their firm, white fillets – some of the best eating fish you'll find in freshwater. They put up a good fight too, especially on light tackle. If you're after walleye, try slow-trolling with live bait rigs. A local tip: when the fish are finicky, downsizing your presentation and using lighter line can make a big difference. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-timer, walleye fishing on Erie is always a good time.
