What to Expect on the Water

As soon as you step aboard Captain Keith's boat, you'll feel the excitement in the air. The afternoon sun sparkles on Lake Erie's surface as you cruise out to the day's hotspots. With room for up to three guests, this private charter ensures you'll have plenty of elbow room to cast and reel.

Techniques That'll Hook You

On this trip, you'll get to try your hand at some of Lake Erie's most effective fishing techniques. Depending on the day's conditions and what's biting, Captain Keith might have you trolling with planer boards to cover more water and target those trophy walleye. Or you might drop some jigs tipped with nightcrawlers to entice the fish hiding near the bottom. If the perch are schooling, you could be in for some fast and furious action with multiple rods bent at once. Throughout the trip, Captain Keith will be right there to show you the ropes, from setting the hook to netting your catch. By the end of the day, you'll be reeling them in like a pro.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Lake Erie is famous for its walleye, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are not only delicious but put up a great fight too. In the warmer afternoon waters, walleye often move to deeper areas or near structure, making them perfect targets for trolling. They can grow to impressive sizes, with trophy fish over 10 pounds not uncommon. The best part? Walleye are active year-round, so there's always a chance to land a big one.

Yellow perch are another Lake Erie favorite. These tasty little fighters often school up in huge numbers, providing non-stop action once you find them. They might be smaller than walleye, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers and flavor. Afternoon trips are perfect for targeting perch, as they tend to feed more actively later in the day.

Don't overlook the possibility of hooking into a monster smallmouth bass. Lake Erie is considered one of the best smallmouth fisheries in the world, with bronzebacks regularly topping 5 pounds. These hard-fighting fish love to hang around rocky areas and will strike aggressively at both live bait and artificial lures. The afternoon sun warms up their favorite shallow haunts, making your trip prime time for bass action.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing Lake Erie in the afternoon. As the day progresses, the lake comes alive with activity. You might see massive schools of baitfish dimpling the surface or birds diving for their dinner. It's during these times that the big predators often go on the feed, giving you the best shot at landing that fish of a lifetime. Plus, with the sun high in the sky, you'll get to soak in the beautiful views of the lake and shoreline while you wait for the next bite. It's not just about the fish - it's about the whole experience of being out on the water, enjoying the fresh air, and sharing stories with your fellow anglers.
