Walleye are the stars of the show on Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are known for their tasty white flesh and the challenge they present to anglers. In the afternoon, walleye often move into shallower waters to feed, making them prime targets. You're looking at fish that can range from a respectable 2 pounds up to trophy sizes of 10 pounds or more. The lake record stands at a whopping 16 pounds, so there's always the chance of a monster catch. Walleye are crafty fighters, known for their head shakes and sudden dives. When you hook one, you'll feel the thrill of the fight and understand why anglers come from all over to target these fish on Lake Erie.
While walleye are the main attraction, don't be surprised if you also tangle with some yellow perch or the occasional smallmouth bass. Lake Erie's ecosystem is diverse, and these species often share the same waters. Yellow perch are smaller but put up a scrappy fight and are just as delicious. Smallmouth bass, with their acrobatic leaps and powerful runs, can add an exciting twist to your walleye pursuit. Captain Keith knows how to target each species, so you're in for a well-rounded fishing experience.
There's something about an afternoon on Lake Erie that keeps fishermen coming back for more.

Lake Erie's walleye are prized fighters, typically 15-30 inches long. These golden-olive fish with distinctive reflective eyes thrive in our deeper, cooler waters. Look for them near rocky bottoms, drop-offs, and weed edges. They're most active at dawn and dusk, making our afternoon trips prime time. Walleye put up a great fight and make fantastic eating - their firm, white meat is hard to beat. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but we catch them year-round. To up your odds, try slow-trolling with live minnows or nightcrawlers near the bottom. That's how the locals do it. Walleye fishing isn't just about the catch; it's the thrill of outwitting these clever predators in their own backyard. Once you hook into a big 'eye, you'll see why they're Lake Erie's most sought-after fish.
