Trolling Tips & Tackle Talk

On Lake Erie, trolling is the name of the game for walleye. We'll set up a spread of lines behind the boat, using a mix of crankbaits, worm harnesses, and spoons to entice those walleye. Depending on the conditions, we might be using planer boards to spread our baits out wider or diving deeper with downriggers. Water clarity and temperature play a big role in where we'll find the fish, so we're always adjusting our approach. Don't worry if you're new to this style of fishing - we'll walk you through everything. From setting the drag on your reel to recognizing when you've got a fish on, we've got you covered. And for you more experienced anglers, feel free to pick our brains about the latest Lake Erie fishing trends and techniques.

Hunter Highlights

"We met at the dock. I like to be early so I got there about an hour before the trip and he was already there smiling and ready to go fishing. The safety talk was short and to the point . I have been on other trips where nothing about safety was mentioned(Not good ). The trip to the fishing spot was short and the boat was skillfully handled. The most important part of the trip, catching fish was accomplished successfully with myself and two buddies all catching fish, we even caught a rock, had to throw that back, it was out of season. We all had a great time and the fish cooperated, Captain Tom did an outstanding job. We are all looking forward to our next trip. I would highly recommend Captain Tom to Fisherman of any level. BOTTOM LINE: We had a great time with a great guide!" - mike

"Tom was a great captain,and a great guy.I would highly recommend him and his service." - Ryan

Target Species Breakdown

Walleye are the crown jewels of Lake Erie fishing, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are known for their tasty white fillets and the challenge they present to anglers. Walleye in Erie can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 10 pounds not uncommon. They tend to school up, so when you find them, the action can be fast and furious.

Spring and fall are prime times for walleye fishing, as the fish move into shallower waters. During summer, we often find them suspended over deeper water, following baitfish schools. What makes walleye so exciting to catch is their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. When a big walleye hits your lure, you'll feel that distinctive 'thump' that gets every angler's heart racing.

While walleye are our main target, don't be surprised if we hook into some yellow perch along the way. These scrappy little fighters are a blast on light tackle and make for excellent eating too. Perch tend to hang out near the bottom, often in the same areas as walleye. When we find a school of perch, it's not unusual to catch them two at a time!
