Ready for a double-header on Lake Erie? Our 10-hour Walleye and Yellow Perch combo trip is the real deal. We're talkin' primo fishing from July through the end of season, where you'll get a crack at two of Erie's most sought-after species. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, this trip's got something for everyone. We'll get you on the fish and keep you there until we hit limits or the clock runs out – whichever comes first.
Here's the lowdown: We're flexible with start times, working around the season and what works best for you. Picture yourself out on the big lake, rod in hand, as the sun paints the sky. We've got room for six on board, so bring your crew or make some new fishing buddies. And hey, if you're feeling fancy, upgrade to our "Executive" package. Starting in 2026, you can handpick your grub, drinks, and snacks – just tack on an extra $350, and we'll even let you bring two cases of your favorite brew. It's fishing done right, Lake Erie style.
On this trip, we're pulling out all the stops. For walleye, we'll likely be trolling – that's dragging lines behind the boat with lures that mimic baitfish. We use downriggers, planer boards, and sometimes good old-fashioned flatlines to cover all depths. When it comes to perch, we switch gears. We'll anchor up over a school and drop lines straight down, usually with spreader rigs baited with minnows or worms. It's all about reading the fish finder, knowing the hot spots, and adjusting our approach on the fly. Don't sweat the gear – we've got top-notch rods, reels, and tackle all ready to go. Just bring your game face and maybe a lucky hat.
Walleye are the crown jewels of Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are crafty, hard-fighting, and downright delicious. They average 2-4 pounds, but don't be shocked if you hook into a 10-pounder – they're out there! Walleye tend to hang in deeper, cooler water during the day, so we'll often target them in the morning or evening when they move shallow to feed. There's nothing quite like the thump of a walleye hitting your lure – it'll get your heart racing every time.
Yellow Perch might be smaller, but they're a blast to catch and a treat for the taste buds. These feisty little guys school up tight, so when you find 'em, it's often non-stop action. They average about 8-12 inches, but Lake Erie is famous for its jumbo perch that can push 14 inches or more. Perch fishing is perfect for all skill levels – kids love it because the action is fast, and seasoned anglers appreciate the tasty rewards. Plus, there's something special about pulling up a stringer full of these yellow-and-black striped beauties.
Lake Erie isn't called the "Walleye Capital of the World" for nothing. The combination of walleye and perch fishing here is hard to beat anywhere else. You're not just fishing – you're part of a Great Lakes tradition. Our trips are designed to give you a shot at limits of both species, which means you could be going home with a serious haul of premium fillets. But it's not just about the fish in the cooler. It's the thrill of the hunt, the camaraderie on the boat, and those "you should've seen it!" stories you'll be telling for years to come.
Look, if you're itching for a world-class fishing experience without having to trek to the ends of the earth, this is it. Our Lake Erie Walleye and Yellow Perch Combo Fishing Charter is the real McCoy – a full day of top-notch angling for two of the most prized fish in the Great Lakes. We've got the knowledge, we've got the gear, and we've got the fish. All we need is you. So why wait? Grab your spot on the boat, and let's make some waves. Trust me, your taste buds (and your fishing stories) will thank you later. Book now, and let's get after those Erie giants!
Lake Erie's yellow perch are a fun, tasty target. Usually 7-8 inches long, these golden-yellow fish with dark vertical bars school up in big numbers. You'll find them near shore in spring, then moving to deeper water as summer heats up. They hang around weeds, docks, and other cover. Perch are active year-round, but fall is prime time when they're fattening up. Folks love catching perch for their delicate, sweet fillets - perfect for a fish fry. They're not big fighters, but catching a bunch is a blast. To land more, try small jigs tipped with minnows or worms. Fish them slow near the bottom. A light rod with 4-pound line works great. Keep an eye on your electronics - when you find one perch, there's usually more nearby. It's not unusual to catch 50+ in a good spot!

Walleye are the crown jewel of Lake Erie fishing. These golden-olive fish typically run 15-25 inches and put up a great fight. They've got razor-sharp teeth and those signature glowing eyes. During the day, walleye hang out in deeper water near drop-offs or structure. Come evening, they move shallow to feed. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but summer night fishing can be red hot too. Folks target walleye for the challenge and their top-notch eating quality - there's nothing like fresh walleye fillets. To up your odds, try trolling with crankbaits or nightcrawler harnesses along breaklines. When you find fish, switch to jigging with minnows. Keep your bait near the bottom and fish slow. Pay attention to water temp changes - walleye often stack up where warm and cool water meet. Be patient and persistent - when you dial them in, the action can be non-stop!
