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.

We picked away but no real pattern.  We made a run to visit the Pelicans and it was game on.  We dialed these fish in at 2 oz 40 and 50 back with the dipsey 3 setting at 28 back. TruTrip 50 was working  at 32 back.</div><div><br></div><div>Josh and Ryan made quick work of running the Off Shore Tackle Company planner boards.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Our speed was 1.5. mph.

Family Walleye 

Received a 10pm booking for our Saturday afternoon charter.<div><br></div><div>Family Time</div><div>Father and Son Joe and Joseph along with brother/sun in law Zack and Kristian came aboard with their drift and cast gear.  I suggested they didn't need that as we are on a good program for our post-spawn Walleye.  They wanted to give casting a try. We headed out of West Harbor to a South Passage rock pile holding Walleye. It was slow but they caught 3 released 1.  With an hour to go I suggested the let me drop the Off Shore Tackle Company planner boards in so they could leave with a respectable amount of Lake Erie Walleye.  We quickly dropped in 3 boards each side.   We soon had a 25 inch Walleye on boards.  We picked away until we had another 4 and our time was up.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div>Sea Sick Frog Bandits 70 back.

Father Daughter Walleye Day

Chris his daughter Jen and Reese jumped aboard BlackH2oDog Charters for their Lake Erie Walleye trolling experience.   After reeling mine we got a little catch and release time before heading in.

We put the Islands between us and the rising sun and went to the Reef complex.

From the very beginning they were put to work running the Off Shore Tackle Company planner boards. We had a few fire drills and a few lost fish but by the end of their day we were catching and releasing Walleye.

They did a great job keeping the Walleye coming in and the boards going out.

TruTrip 50s on the corners took the biggest Walleye on a Ripplin Redfin 28 back.

Bandits and SPRO U.S.A  120s running 35 to 80 back. Speed was 1.4 to 1.7 mph.

Birthday Walleye 

BlackH2oDog Charters 2nd group was a birthday trip for Brandon, arranged by his girlfriend.  Brandon brought along his stepfather Charlie and his uncle Brian.

We had a short window of opportunity on this 4 hour outing.

We headed between the islands and found great marks immediately on our Raymarine Axiom.  A quick fire set of instructions on using the Off Shore Tackle Company planner boards and we soon had our boards and Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co. TruTrip 50s working.

The outer board with a Bandit 50 back took a nice 24" Walleye.  Soon another came on TruTrip 50 32 back with a SB Reaper.

Then nothing... So with 2 hrs to go we made a big move west. This time the  boards went out quickly and we had    a steady pick of Walleye for the next 2 hours.  

TruTrip 50s 35 back.  Bandits 50 & 80. Bill Lewis PWC 45 back.
Speed 1.7 to 2.3 mph

Speed 1.7 to 2.3 mph

Started of the morning in a still foggy misty morning.  Picked up David and Samantha along with David and Deanna, David's parents.

3 David's today 🤔

After a quick stop for an island photo we set lines West of the Bass Islands.

We started quickly with 2, then 4 and our bite turned into a slow pick.  High  baits would go followed by a deep bait.  One @ 2.3 mph then one @ 1.6.  Hard to established a pattern so we worked what we had.  We eventually settled into Bandits 50 to 80 back with Bill Lewis PWC at 50 back.  The TruTrip 50s 35 back also came to life today.

These first time Lake Erie anglers pushed through the tough times and learned to run the Off Shore Tackle Company planner boards.

Anniversary Walleye 

Julie and Rodney reached out for a Lake Erie Walleye Charter with BlackH2oDog Charters to celebrate their Anniversary.

This is their first time on Lake Erie and they ran the Off Shore Tackle Company planner board like seasoned pros.

We headed West of the Islands in search of Walleye.

Our 1st Walleye came on Kahki 30 back fish hit as I showed them how to attach boards.  This fish hit at 3.2 mph before I set in my trolling bags.  

Our Walleye came on Bandits today.  30 to 100 back.  1.7 to 2.1 mph.

We had a few slow stretches; but a triple turning into a quad will be burned in their memory.

Julie and Rodney work made it easy to take pictures of them enjoying their day on Lake Erie.

AM Walleye 

Returning customers Dusty, Paul and Bobby   kicked-off the 2023 Lake Erie Walleye season with BlackH2oDog Charters.

The day was beautiful, but recent high winds, full moon and stiff East winds made us work for every fish.

We ran a mix of Bandits, Rapala Deep Husky Jerks and the new Bill Lewis PWC. Bandits 50 to 65 and DHJ 65 were best, the PWC did not produce.  

Speed was 1.5 mph early and 1.7 later. 

Bobby, Paul and Dustin after a quick refresh on how we attached our Off Shore Tackle Company planner boards they ran the back of the boat and were soon setting and netting  their Walleye.

They left with a cooler full of Walleye after a great day of catching and conversation on the water.



We ran a mix of Bandits, Rapala Deep Husky Jerks and the new Bill Lewis PWC.

BlackH2oDog Charters is looking forward to a great 2023 Walleye season on Lake Erie.
