Walleye are the crown jewels of Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are known for their tasty fillets and the challenge they present to anglers. They typically range from 2 to 5 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 10-pounder – Lake Erie is famous for trophy-sized walleye. These fish love to hang out near underwater structures and drop-offs, and they're most active during low-light conditions. That's why our morning trips are prime time for walleye action. When you feel that telltale tap-tap on your line, get ready for a fight. Walleye might not jump like bass, but they'll give you a run for your money with powerful runs and head shakes. And let's be honest, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of reeling in a keeper walleye, knowing you've got the makings of an epic fish fry in your future.

Lake Erie's walleye are prized catches, typically running 15-30 inches and up to 20 pounds. These golden-olive predators with distinctive reflective eyes thrive in our deeper, cooler waters. They're structure-oriented fish, hanging around rocky areas and drop-offs during the day before moving shallow to feed at night. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but summer trolling produces too. Anglers love walleye for their hard-fighting spirit and exceptional table fare - sweet, flaky fillets that are hard to beat. To boost your odds, try slow-trolling with bottom bouncers and nightcrawler harnesses along underwater points and ledges. The fight and flavor make walleye a Lake Erie favorite, and there's nothing quite like the thrill when one slams your lure.
