On this trip, you'll get to try out all the best walleye fishing techniques. We'll start by trolling with crankbaits or worm harnesses, covering water to find active schools. Once we're on the fish, we might switch to vertical jigging with blade baits or soft plastics - a deadly technique when the walleye are hugging the bottom. If conditions are right, we'll even try some drift fishing, letting the wind push us over prime structure while we work our baits. The captain will have a variety of lures and live bait on hand, so we can dial in exactly what the walleye want that day. You'll be amazed at how effective these methods can be when you're fishing with an experienced guide who knows all the tricks of the trade.
Lake Erie's walleye fishing has been on fire lately, with anglers regularly boating fish in the 5-8 pound range. Just last week, a group from Cleveland nailed their limit of chunky walleye, with the biggest pushing 10 pounds! Another family trip saw their youngest angler, only 8 years old, reel in a 28-inch trophy all by herself. The smiles on their faces say it all - there's nothing quite like the thrill of battling these hard-fighting fish. Whether you're after a delicious fish fry or the walleye of a lifetime, Lake Erie's got the goods.
Walleye are the undisputed kings of Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are some of the tastiest freshwater fish you'll ever sink your teeth into. Lake Erie walleye typically range from 2-5 pounds, but fish over 10 pounds are caught every year. They're most active in the cooler months, making spring and fall prime time for trophy hunters. Walleye love to hang around underwater structure and drop-offs, often feeding heavily at dawn and dusk. Their light-sensitive eyes give them an edge in low-light conditions, which is why night fishing can be so productive. When you hook into a big walleye, get ready for a stubborn fight - these fish know how to use their broad sides against you, often making powerful runs back to the bottom. It's this combination of great eating and sporty action that keeps anglers coming back for more.
While walleye are our main target, don't be surprised if you hook into some bonus species. Lake Erie is also home to some monster yellow perch, often caught while walleye fishing. These tasty panfish travel in schools and can provide fast action when you find them. In the warmer months, you might even tangle with a hard-fighting smallmouth bass or two. These bronze bombers are known for their acrobatic jumps and will test your skills on light tackle.
There's a reason Lake Erie is called the "Walleye Capital of the World." The sheer numbers and size of walleye in these waters is mind-blowing. Anglers from all over the country flock here for a chance at trophy-class fish and coolers full of delicious fillets. But it's not just about the fish - it's the whole package.

Walleye are the prize catch of Lake Erie, known for their tasty white fillets and challenging fight. These golden-olive fish typically range from 2-5 pounds, with trophy specimens hitting 10+ pounds. You'll find them hanging around rocky structures and drop-offs, often in 15-30 foot depths. They're most active at dawn and dusk, using their trademark reflective eyes to hunt in low light. Spring and fall are peak walleye seasons here, but summer can be great too if you know where to look. Trolling with crankbaits or drifting live bait rigs are go-to techniques. Walleye put up a good scrap when hooked, with powerful runs and head shakes that'll keep you on your toes. What makes walleye special is their delicate, flaky meat - it's considered some of the best eating freshwater fish around. For a local trick, try vertical jigging with a minnow in deeper water when the bite's tough. The subtle presentation can trigger strikes from finicky fish.
