Get ready for a full day of non-stop action on Lake Erie with 'It's Called Fishin''. This 10-hour extended trip targets two of the lake's most prized catches: walleye and yellow perch. You'll be out on the water from sunup to sundown, giving you the best shot at maxing out your limits. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the game, our experienced guides will put you on the fish and make sure you have a blast doing it.
This ain't your average fishing trip. We're talking 10 solid hours of prime fishing time on Lake Erie's legendary waters. You'll be aboard a top-notch vessel, fully equipped for both walleye and perch fishing. The trip kicks off in late July when both species are really firing, and runs right through to the end of our season. We'll set the start time based on when the bite's hottest, so be ready for an early morning launch if that's what the fish are calling for. With room for up to 6 anglers, it's perfect for bringing along your fishing buddies or the whole family.
We'll be using a mix of techniques to target both walleye and perch. For walleye, expect to do some serious trolling. We'll be running multiple lines with a variety of lures - crankbaits, worm harnesses, you name it. When we're after perch, we'll switch gears to vertical jigging. You'll be dropping lines right over schools of these tasty little fighters. Our guides know all the hotspots and will have you on fish in no time. Don't worry if you're new to these methods - we'll show you the ropes and have you fishing like a pro by day's end.
Walleye: These are the crown jewels of Lake Erie fishing. Known locally as 'yellow pike', walleye are some of the best-eating freshwater fish out there. They're also a blast to catch, putting up a good fight on the end of your line. Lake Erie walleye can grow to trophy sizes, with fish over 10 pounds not uncommon. The best part? Late summer and early fall is prime time for walleye fishing, so you'll be hitting the water when they're most active.
American Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you - these little guys pack a punch in both fight and flavor. Lake Erie perch are famous for their sweet, delicate meat. They school up in huge numbers, so when you find them, it's often non-stop action. Perch fishing really heats up in late summer and fall, coinciding perfectly with the walleye bite. There's nothing quite like pulling up a stringer full of jumbo perch.
This combo trip gives you the best of both worlds. You get the thrill of battling big walleye and the fast-paced action of perch fishing all in one day. It's perfect for groups with mixed skill levels or just anyone who loves variety in their fishing. Plus, with 10 hours on the water, you've got plenty of time to hit your limits on both species. And let's be real - there's no better way to spend a day than out on Lake Erie, rod in hand, waiting for that next big bite.
We provide all the fishing gear you'll need, from rods and reels to bait and tackle. All you need to bring is your fishing license, some weather-appropriate clothing, and maybe a cooler for your catch. Speaking of catch - make sure you've got plenty of room in the freezer back home. With the combination of walleye and perch, you could be bringing back a serious haul of fish.

Lake Erie's yellow perch are a blast to catch and even better to eat. These golden-hued fish typically run 7-8 inches but can reach up to 15 inches. You'll find them schooling near shorelines, especially around vegetation and structures like docks. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but they bite year-round. Perch love hanging out in 15-30 foot depths, often over sandy or rocky bottoms. They're not huge fighters, but their abundance makes for fast action - it's not uncommon to catch 50+ in a day. The real treat is their sweet, mild flavor - perfect for a fish fry. To boost your odds, try using small jigs tipped with minnows or worms. Fish them slowly near the bottom, and when you find one perch, you've usually found the whole school. Keep your line tight; these crafty nibblers can steal bait if you're not paying attention.

Walleye are the crown jewels of Lake Erie fishing. These sleek predators average 2-4 pounds but can top 10 pounds, offering a serious tussle on the line. They're most active in low light, so dawn and dusk are prime times. Look for walleye along drop-offs, rock piles, and weed edges in 15-30 foot depths. They move shallower in spring and fall, deeper in summer. Walleye are prized for their firm, white fillets - some of the best-tasting freshwater fish you'll find. They can be tricky to catch, but that's part of the fun. Trolling with crankbaits or nightcrawler harnesses is effective, especially along underwater points and ledges. A local trick: try using purple lures on overcast days. The challenging nature of walleye fishing, combined with their excellent table fare, makes landing one a real achievement. Just remember, these fish have great eyesight, so using light line and natural presentations can make a big difference.
