Trolling Tactics & Top Gear

On our Lake Erie charters, we're all about putting you on the fish. We use a mix of trolling techniques that have proven deadly for walleye. You might find yourself pulling crawler harnesses, working crankbaits, or even jigging when the bite is hot. Our setup includes top-of-the-line rods and reels, paired with the latest in fish-finding tech. We're talking quality sonar and GPS units that let us track water temp, depth, and fish activity in real-time. It's not just about finding fish – it's about presenting the bait just right. We'll show you how to adjust your presentation based on conditions, whether that means tweaking your speed or switching up lure colors. And here's a local tip: on Lake Erie, sometimes a touch of chartreuse on your lure can make all the difference.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye are the stars of the show on Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are not only delicious but put up a fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. Walleye in Erie can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 10 pounds not uncommon. They're most active in the cooler months, but our morning trips give you a shot at them year-round. These fish love to hang out near underwater structures and drop-offs, using their keen eyesight to ambush prey. When you hook into one, you'll feel a distinctive headshake followed by powerful runs. It's a rush that never gets old, whether it's your first walleye or your hundredth. And let's not forget – a limit of walleye makes for some mighty fine eating. Nothing beats fresh fish for dinner after a morning on the lake.

Maybe it's the chance at landing that personal best walleye, or the thrill of watching your rod double over with a big fish on.
