Iowa crew checks Walleye off the bucket list on Lake Erie

Jeff and Dennis were back again today for another shot at Lake Erie Walleye.  With the predicted 15 to 20 mph winds 🌬🌊 we opted to do a Walleye Perch combo. The perch report is simple nothing going off of the Rattles.  So we put the casting harnesses to work in 6 to 20 fow.  For a strong  1 plus hours it was non-stop Catfish 3 to 6 pounds.  Then the Walleye heated up and they picked away until the had 2 - 2 day limits of Walleye heading back to Iowa.
We were within site of the Ship the entire day.
Great two days sharing Drift and Cast and open water trolling on Lake Erie.

One for the books today! I took Rick and their crew out on Lake Erie for a morning of walleye fishing with BlackH2oDog Charters. We set off from East Harbor State Park Marina in Lakeside Marblehead, OH as summer was in full swing. The early morning started off a bit cloudy, but we were treated to clearing skies in the afternoon. The water conditions at East Harbor State Park were prime for a day of fishing.

Once the stage was set, we got down to business, employing a mix of techniques to entice those walleye. We started off trolling, which is always a solid choice for covering water on Lake Erie. As we moved along, we switched things up by casting crankbaits, giving us a more active approach. When those methods didn't produce the results we were hoping for, we tried our hand at drop-shotting, aiming to finesse any fish holding tight to structure. Despite our efforts and the variety of techniques, the walleye proved elusive on this outing. We didn't stick a trophy on this run, but every cast and minute on the water was worth it. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, appreciating the time spent on the beautiful waters of Lake Erie.

If you're thinking about coming out for some Lake Erie walleye action, BlackH2oDog Charters has got you covered.

Father-Son Duo from SoCal Hooks Into Lake Erie Walleye Action

Late Friday evening reach out by Trenton and Kendra who were wrapping up a week at the Lake Erie Islands area.  We left West Harbor just before sunrise with a bright full moon in the Western sky.  Trenton had the hot hand to start us off casting a 3/4 worm harness with a gold blade on a 10 count.  It was about 6 to 1 on fish mostly around 14.5" to get a 16" to 19" keeper.  
As the sun climbed in the sky Kendra got hot and they both worked hard to capture their Lake Erie Walleye.
We battled with pesky white perch.  We found a really fast retrieve aided in keeping white perch at bay and the Walleye didn't mind.
Seems, I don't get may good pics on casting days.  Fish cleaner was at the docks when we arrived, so no fish pics today.

Lake Erie Walleye Success for Trenton and Kendra Before Sunset

Hot bite and happy crew! I had the pleasure of taking David and their crew out on a fantastic afternoon trip with Black H2o Dog Charters in Lakeside Marblehead, OH.

As we moved through different areas, we switched it up with some bottom fishing, targeting the structure where walleye often hold. I also had the crew casting crankbaits, a technique that can be deadly effective when the walleye are aggressive. Throughout the afternoon, we worked these methods, adjusting our approach based on the conditions and fish behavior.

While we didn't land any trophies on this outing, the experience was about much more than just the catch. David and their crew got to witness firsthand the beauty of Lake Erie and the surrounding area. The partly cloudy skies provided a stunning backdrop as we fished, and the post-rain freshness in the air added to the day's appeal.

What a Hull of Walleye 

Lake Erie Fishing

Greg provided valuable help shaping metal for our home addition project, and as a token of gratitude, I invited him for an exciting fall Walleye fishing experience on Lake Erie. Today, the North winds in Cleveland (CLE) exceeded the forecast, reaching 20 mph with gusts up to 25. Despite the challenging conditions, with waves surpassing 5 feet, the Walleye were voraciously biting. Each catch was filled with Shad, and we achieved success by employing shallow divers with leads spanning from 25 to 60 feet. Explore the thrill of Lake Erie fishing trips and enjoy the best Walleye charter fishing on Lake Erie with us.
