Captain Keith's boat is rigged with custom trolling equipment that's designed to present multiple lures at different depths simultaneously.

You'll learn to watch the rod tips for that subtle bounce that signals a strike, and before you know it, you'll be reeling in your catch!

Why Night Fishing Rocks

There's something special about being out on the lake after dark. The daytime crowds have headed in, and it's just you, your fishing buddies, and the sound of water lapping against the boat. But it's not just about the atmosphere – night fishing is when the big walleye really turn on. These fish have excellent low-light vision, giving them a hunting advantage in the dark. For us anglers, that means better chances at hooking into the kind of walleye that'll have you retelling the story for years to come. Plus, there's an extra thrill to fighting a fish when you can't see it coming – trust me, your heart will be racing when that rod bends double!

Target Species: Walleye

Walleye are the crown jewels of Lake Erie, and for good reason. These gold-and-olive predators are known for their fierce fights and delicious fillets. During our night trips, we typically target walleye in the 20-30 inch range, with some real monsters pushing past that. Walleye are structure-oriented fish, often hanging around underwater humps, drop-offs, and weed edges. At night, they move into shallower water to feed, which is why our evening trips can be so productive. These fish have a mouthful of sharp teeth and aren't afraid to use them – when they hit your lure, you'll know it! The fall and spring are peak seasons for walleye, but Lake Erie's population is so strong that we catch them year-round. There's nothing quite like the weight of a big walleye on the end of your line, and once you experience it, you'll be hooked for life.
