Ready to reel in some Lake Erie monsters? Our 4-hour afternoon walleye trip is the perfect way to spend an evening on the water. We'll cruise out to the hotspots where walleye are biting, and you'll have a shot at landing some real beauties. With room for up to 4 anglers, it's ideal for a small group of friends or family looking to make some unforgettable fishing memories.
As soon as we push off from the dock, you'll feel the excitement building. Lake Erie's vastness stretches out before us, and those walleye are waiting. We provide all the gear you need – rods, reels, tackle, and bait. Just remember to grab your Ohio fishing license, and pack some snacks and drinks to keep you fueled up. Our experienced guide knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for some world-class walleye action. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time wetting a line, we'll make sure you have a blast out there.
On this trip, we'll likely be doing some trolling – that's when we slowly cruise along, dragging lines behind the boat. It's a killer technique for walleye, especially in the afternoon and evening hours when they start getting active. We'll set you up with some choice lures that walleye can't resist. You might be working with crankbaits, spinners, or even live bait rigs. Keep an eye on those rod tips – when they start bouncing, it's game on! Our guide will coach you through the whole process, from setting the hook to reeling in your catch. Before you know it, you'll be posing for photos with a monster walleye!

Walleye are the crown jewels of Lake Erie fishing, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators put up an awesome fight and taste incredible on the dinner table. They average around 2-4 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a real trophy – 10-pounders aren't unheard of in these waters! Walleye tend to hang out near the bottom, often in schools, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop. They've got a mouthful of sharp teeth, so watch those fingers when you're unhooking them. Late afternoon and evening is prime time for walleye fishing, as they become more active in lower light conditions. There's nothing quite like the thrill of feeling that telltale 'thump' on your line and knowing you've got a walleye on the other end.
Lake Erie isn't called the "Walleye Capital of the World" for nothing. The fishing here is truly world-class, and our afternoon trips are timed perfectly to take advantage of the walleye's feeding patterns. You're not just going fishing – you're tapping into a rich tradition that's been drawing anglers to these waters for generations. Our guides have spent countless hours on the lake, learning its moods and secrets. They'll put you on the fish and share some local knowledge that'll up your walleye game. Plus, there's something special about being out on the water as the sun starts to dip low, casting golden light across the lake. It's the kind of experience that sticks with you long after you've docked.
Lake Erie's walleye population is booming right now, which means the fishing has been red hot. We've been seeing some real bruisers come over the rail this season. Just last week, one of our groups landed a 31-inch walleye that tipped the scales at over 12 pounds – a true fish of a lifetime! But even if you don't land a monster, the average size has been impressive. Most anglers are going home with a good number of "eater" sized fish in the 15-20 inch range. And let's not forget about the occasional bonus catch – we've been seeing some nice perch, smallmouth bass, and even the odd steelhead mixing things up. Every trip is different, and that's part of the fun. You never know when that next cast might connect with the walleye of your dreams.
When you book with us, we've got you covered on the gear front. We provide top-quality rods and reels, all the tackle you'll need, and plenty of bait. Our boat is well-maintained and equipped with the latest electronics to help us find those walleye hot spots. We've even got a cooler on board to keep your catch fresh. All you need to bring is your valid Ohio fishing license (don't forget this!), some snacks and drinks to keep you going, and maybe a light jacket in case it gets breezy out there. Oh, and don't forget your camera – you're gonna want proof when you're telling fish stories later!
If you're itching to get out on Lake Erie and tangle with some walleye, now's the time to lock in your trip.

Great time with Captain David. All 4 of us have never been Walleye fishing. Great at teaching us the techniques of catching Walleye.

Walleye are the prize catch of Lake Erie, growing up to 30 inches and 20 pounds. These golden-olive fish with reflective eyes thrive in our deeper, cooler waters. They hang out near rocky bottoms and drop-offs during the day, moving shallow to feed at night. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but summer nights can be hot too. Anglers love walleye for their fight and fantastic eating - firm, white fillets that are hard to beat. To boost your chances, try slow-trolling with live minnows or nightcrawlers along bottom structure. When you feel that telltale tap-tap, set the hook fast - walleye have tough mouths. Whether you're after a trophy or a tasty dinner, these fish deliver. Just remember to vary your depth until you find the active school.

I had a great time with Captain Dave with my neighbor and young son. He is a very good teacher, as we had no experience fishing this lake. Captain Dave is very knowledgeable about the area and where to find this fish, he was ready to go early which worked better for our schedule, and we caught our daily limit. Also, we were able to do a lot of the fishing (which few charters offer or have patience for), while learning a lot about technique and the area. Thanks for a great time and will definitely book Captain Dave next time we are in the area. Thank you!
