What's the Deal?

You'll be spending a solid 8 hours out on Lake Erie's prime fishing grounds. Captain Steve knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you're in for a day of non-stop action. No need to worry about bringing any gear - rods, reels, and all the tackle you'll need are included. This trip is great for beginners, but even seasoned anglers will pick up new tricks. You'll be targeting two of Lake Erie's most popular game fish: the hard-fighting walleye and the always-hungry yellow perch. It's hands-on learning mixed with plenty of fish-catching fun.

Fishing Know-How

On this trip, you'll get to try out a mix of fishing techniques. For walleye, we'll likely do some trolling - that's where we drag lures behind the boat to cover more water. When the perch are biting, we'll switch to bottom fishing with live bait. Captain Steve will show you how to read the fish finder, set up your rig, and present your bait just right. You'll learn about using crankbaits, spinners, and live minnows to entice those fish. Don't worry if you're new to this - by the end of the day, you'll be working that rod like a pro.

Fish Tales

Lake Erie's reputation as the "Walleye Capital of the World" isn't just hype. Anglers come from all over to try their luck here. The fishing's been hot lately, with plenty of folks going home with coolers full of fish. While every day on the water is different, many guests are surprised by how many fish they catch, even as first-timers. Captain Steve's local knowledge means you're fishing the best spots at the right times, maximizing your chances for a great catch.

Meet the Lake Erie Locals

Walleye are the crown jewels of Lake Erie fishing. These golden-eyed predators can grow up to 20 pounds or more, though a good-sized catch is typically in the 3-5 pound range. They're known for their hard strikes and strong fights. Walleye tend to hang out near the bottom in cooler, deeper waters, especially during the day. The best walleye fishing usually happens in spring and fall, but Captain Steve knows how to find them year-round.

Yellow Perch might be smaller, but they're a Lake Erie staple. These feisty little fish usually run about 8-12 inches long. What they lack in size, they make up for in numbers and taste - they're often considered one of the best-eating freshwater fish. Perch are schooling fish, so when you find them, you can often catch a bunch. They're active all year, but the fall perch run is legendary among local anglers. Their light bite can be tricky to detect at first, but Captain Steve will teach you the tricks to feel even the softest nibbles.
