Fishing Lake Erie Style

On Lake Erie, we're usually trolling for the big ones. That means we'll be covering a lot of water, with lines in the water and lures dancing behind the boat. Captain Keith will set you up with downriggers, planer boards, or dipsy divers depending on where the fish are hanging out. You might be using crankbaits, spoons, or worm harnesses - whatever's getting the bites that day. Keep your eyes peeled for bird activity or changes in the water; those are often signs that fish are nearby. And don't worry if you're new to this style of fishing - the captain will walk you through everything you need to know.

Top Catches This Season

While the trip description doesn't specify target species, Lake Erie is famous for its walleye fishing. These golden-eyed predators are the crown jewel of the lake, known for their tasty fillets and the fight they put up. But that's not all you might hook into. Depending on the season, you could also tangle with yellow perch, smallmouth bass, or even steelhead if you're lucky. Each species has its own habits and hangouts, and Captain Keith knows just where to find them.

What Anglers Are Saying

No customer reviews were provided for this specific trip. However, Lake Erie fishing charters are often praised for the quality of the fishing and the expertise of the captains. Many anglers return year after year, drawn by the thrill of battling Lake Erie's famous walleye and the chance to fill their coolers with delicious fish.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye: The king of Lake Erie, walleye are what bring most anglers to these waters. These fish can grow to impressive sizes, with 5-8 pounders being common and the chance at a true trophy always on the line. They're known for their light-sensitive eyes, which makes them more active during low-light periods - perfect for an afternoon trip that stretches into evening. Walleye have a reputation for being finicky, but when you find a school, the action can be non-stop.

Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you - yellow perch might be smaller than walleye, but they're just as fun to catch and even tastier to eat. These fish often school up in huge numbers, meaning when you find them, you can catch them one after another. They're perfect for anglers of all skill levels, and there's nothing quite like a Lake Erie perch fry after a successful day on the water.

Smallmouth Bass: Lake Erie is home to some of the best smallmouth bass fishing in the world. These bronze bombers are known for their acrobatic fights, often leaping clear out of the water when hooked. They love rocky areas and drop-offs, and catching one on light tackle is a thrill you won't soon forget. While they're not as prized for eating as walleye or perch, many anglers consider them the most exciting fish to catch in the lake.

Steelhead: While more commonly targeted in the tributaries, steelhead can sometimes be caught in the main lake, especially in cooler months. These lake-run rainbow trout are prized for their powerful runs and jumping ability. Hooking into one of these silver missiles is always a possibility and can add an extra layer of excitement to your trip.
