No wasted time, no rookie mistakes - just pure fishing action from the moment we leave the dock.
This isn't your typical tourist fishing trip. We're talking about a laser-focused outing designed for anglers who know their stuff. You'll be working productive areas of Lake Erie, using techniques that seasoned fishermen swear by. Expect to be trolling for walleye one minute, then switching gears to vertical jig for perch the next. Our captain will read the water, check the electronics, and adjust tactics on the fly to keep you on the fish. With a 4-person max, there's plenty of elbow room to work your magic without tangling lines. And when you hook into a monster walleye or fill the cooler with jumbo perch, our crew will be right there to net your catch and high-five your success.
Leave your tackle box at home - we've got you covered with top-notch gear that's perfect for Erie's conditions. You'll be using sensitive graphite rods paired with smooth-drag reels, spooled with premium line that can handle those big walleye runs. For walleye, we'll likely be pulling crawler harnesses, crankbaits, or maybe even some weight-forward spinners if that's what's hot. When it's perch time, we'll drop down with spreader rigs baited with emerald shiners or soft plastics. Our live wells are always stocked with the freshest bait, and we've got a arsenal of lures to match any condition. Just bring your valid Ohio fishing license, and we'll handle the rest - including cleaning your catch at the end of the day.
Hardcore fishermen book with us year after year, and it's not just because of the fish (though that's a big part of it). It's the no-nonsense approach we take to getting you on the water and into the action. No long-winded speeches or wasted time - we know you're here to fish, and that's exactly what we deliver. Our guides are walking encyclopedias of Lake Erie fishing knowledge, but they know when to talk and when to let the rod do the talking. Plus, with our expert fish-cleaning service, you'll head home with perfectly filleted walleye and perch ready for the frying pan. It's the kind of efficient, results-driven trip that keeps serious anglers coming back for more.
Walleye: The crown jewel of Lake Erie, walleye are the reason many anglers make the pilgrimage to these waters. These golden-eyed predators can grow to impressive sizes, with 5-8 pounders being common and the chance at a true trophy always on the line. Spring and fall offer peak walleye action, but summer can be red-hot too if you know where to look (which we do). Walleye fight hard and taste even better, making them the perfect sport fish. When that rod doubles over and the drag starts singing, you'll know why they call Erie the "Walleye Capital of the World."
Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you - yellow perch might be smaller than walleye, but they make up for it in numbers and taste. These feisty panfish travel in schools, so when you find them, it's often non-stop action. Late summer and fall are prime time for perch, when they fatten up for winter. A good-sized Erie perch will run 10-12 inches, with jumbos pushing 14 inches or more. They're aggressive feeders and put up a scrappy fight on light tackle. And when it comes to the dinner table? Let's just say there's a reason perch is on every fish fry menu in the Great Lakes region.

With only 4 spots per trip, these charters fill up fast - especially during prime seasons. Don't miss your chance to experience some of the best walleye and perch fishing Lake Erie has to offer. Grab your fishing buddies, secure your spot, and get ready for a day of serious angling action. The big ones are waiting - let's go get 'em!
Lake Erie's yellow perch are a blast to catch and even better to eat. These golden-sided fish typically run 7-10 inches long, but can reach up to 15 inches. You'll find them schooling near the bottom around weed edges, drop-offs, and rocky areas. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but we catch 'em year-round. Perch put up a scrappy fight on light tackle, and their sweet, flaky white meat is hard to beat. To land a bunch, try drifting with live minnows or small jigs tipped with worms. Keep your bait near the bottom and watch for light bites - perch can be sneaky! Once you find a school, you can often catch your limit pretty quick. There's nothing like bringing home a cooler full of these tasty fish for a good old-fashioned fish fry.
Walleye are the kings of Lake Erie - big, toothy predators that put up an awesome fight. Most run 2-5 pounds, but 10-pounders aren't uncommon. You'll find them along deep breaks, rock piles, and weed edges, often suspended over open water. Spring and fall are prime, but summer night fishing can be red hot too. Walleye see well in low light, so dawn and dusk are key times. Trolling with crankbaits or nightcrawler harnesses is deadly effective. When you hook one, get ready for powerful head shakes and determined runs. Beyond the fight, walleye are prized for their firm, flaky white fillets - some of the best eating fish around. Here's a local tip: On sunny days, try purple or blue lures. The contrast really makes them stand out in deep water.
