Trip Overview
This ain't your average day on the lake. As the sun dips below the horizon, we'll be gearing up for Lake Erie's famous night bite. Captain Keith's boat is tricked out with all the latest trolling gear to put you on the fish fast. We're talking downriggers, planer boards, and enough rod holders to run a small army's worth of lines. The captain's got night fishing dialed, so all you need to do is show up ready for action. We'll be out for about 4 hours, giving you plenty of time to land some serious walleye. And don't worry if you're new to this - the gear is set up to be user-friendly, so you'll be reeling in fish like a pro in no time.
Trolling After Dark
Night trolling is where it's at for big walleye, and Captain Keith's got it down to a science. We'll be running multiple lines off the sides of the boat, using a mix of crankbaits, spinner rigs, and maybe even some glow-in-the-dark lures if the bite is extra hot. The boat's rigged with special LED lighting that attracts baitfish without spooking the walleye. It's pretty wild to see those glowing lines disappear into the inky black water. When a rod goes off, it's all hands on deck! There's nothing quite like the rush of reeling in a big walleye in the dark, trust me. And with the captain's expert guidance, you'll be handling those rods like a champ by the end of the night.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Lake Erie's night fishing is addictive, plain and simple. There's something about being out on the water after dark that gets your heart pumping. Maybe it's the anticipation of not knowing exactly what's down there, or the sudden chaos when multiple rods start popping off at once. Whatever it is, anglers who try it once tend to get hooked (pun intended). And let's be real - the chance at landing some truly massive walleye doesn't hurt either. Captain Keith's trips are known for putting clients on quality fish, not just numbers. So if you're after that new personal best or just want to experience world-class walleye fishing, this is your ticket.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Walleye are the star of the show on these night trips, and for good reason. These bad boys are the undisputed kings of Lake Erie, growing to truly impressive sizes. We're talking fish in the 8-10 pound range on the regular, with the potential for true giants over 13 pounds if luck is on our side. Walleye tend to move shallow at night to feed, which is why the night bite is so legendary. They've got a mouthful of sharp teeth and put up one heck of a fight, especially on light tackle. The meat is prized for its flaky white texture and mild flavor - perfect for a fish fry if you decide to keep a few for the table.
While we're targeting walleye, don't be surprised if we tangle with some bonus species. Lake Erie is also home to some bruiser smallmouth bass that love to chase our trolling spread. These bronze-backed brawlers can push 5 pounds and will test your drag system for sure. We might also run into some feisty yellow perch, sheepshead, or even the occasional steelhead depending on the time of year. It's all part of the excitement of fishing Erie after dark!
