What to Expect on the Water

As we push off from the dock, you'll feel the excitement build. The calm of the evening settles in, and the city lights fade into the distance. Our 6-hour night fishing trip is all about targeting walleye, the crown jewel of Lake Erie fishing. Captain Keith will navigate to the best spots where these fish are active after dark. You'll learn the ins and outs of night fishing techniques, from choosing the right lures to reading the fish finder in low light conditions. The peaceful atmosphere of the lake at night creates a unique fishing experience you won't forget. And don't worry if you're new to this - our crew is here to help you every step of the way, from baiting your hook to landing your catch.

Night Fishing Know-How

Night fishing for walleye is a whole different ballgame compared to daytime angling. We'll be using specialized techniques that take advantage of the walleye's nocturnal feeding habits. Trolling is our go-to method, where we'll drag lines behind the boat at various depths. We use lures that glow in the dark or have reflective surfaces to attract walleye in the low light conditions. You might hear us talking about "crawler harnesses" - these are special rigs baited with nightcrawlers that walleye can't resist. We'll also use planer boards to spread our lines out wider, covering more water and increasing our chances of hooking into a big one. Don't sweat it if you're not familiar with all this gear - Captain Keith and the team will walk you through everything, making sure you're comfortable and ready to catch some fish.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye are the stars of the show on our night fishing trips, and for good reason. These fish are known for their tasty fillets and the challenge they present to anglers. Walleye typically range from 2 to 5 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a real trophy - Lake Erie is famous for producing walleye over 10 pounds! These fish have excellent night vision, which makes them active feeders after dark. They're often found near the bottom, so we'll be targeting depths anywhere from 15 to 40 feet depending on the season and conditions.

Walleye behavior changes throughout the year. In spring, they're often in shallower water, while summer finds them heading to deeper, cooler areas. Fall can be a fantastic time for night fishing as the walleye feed heavily to fatten up for winter. These fish are known for their sudden, aggressive strikes - when a walleye hits your line, you'll know it! The fight is usually characterized by head shakes and deep runs, making for an exciting battle all the way to the net.

While walleye are our main target, don't be surprised if you also hook into some yellow perch or white bass. These species often share the same waters and can provide some variety to your catch. Yellow perch, in particular, are another Lake Erie favorite, known for their delicious, mild-flavored meat.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing Lake Erie at night that keeps anglers coming back for more. Maybe it's the way the moonlight shimmers on the water, or the peaceful quiet that settles over the lake after sunset. Or perhaps it's the anticipation of that next big strike in the darkness. Our guests often tell us that night fishing adds an extra element of excitement to their angling experience. The extended half-day trip gives you plenty of time to get into a rhythm and really enjoy the unique atmosphere of nighttime on the lake. Plus, with a max of 3 guests per trip, you're guaranteed personalized attention from Captain Keith and a chance to really hone your skills.

Gearing Up for Night Fishing

One of the best things about booking with Possessed Again Fishing Charters is that we provide all the necessary equipment. Our rods and reels are top-notch and specially chosen for walleye fishing. We use a mix of baitcasting and spinning setups, depending on the specific techniques we'll be employing that night. The boat is equipped with state-of-the-art fish finding technology to help us locate the schools of walleye, even in the dark.

While we've got the fishing gear covered, there are a few things you'll want to bring along. Dress in layers - even summer nights can get chilly out on the water. A warm jacket, hat, and gloves are always a good idea. Don't forget to bring a camera to capture your nighttime catches, and consider packing some snacks and non-alcoholic drinks to keep you fueled up during the 6-hour trip. And of course, don't forget your fishing license - we can help you get a temporary one if needed.
