Trip Overview

Get ready for a full day of non-stop walleye action on Lake Erie! Our 7-hour charter out of Port Clinton is the perfect way to kickstart your fishing season. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, this trip is designed to put you on the fish and fill your cooler. You'll be cruising aboard our top-notch Sport-Craft, a boat that's built to handle Erie's moods while keeping you comfortable. Our expert captain knows these waters like the back of their hand and will be on the hunt for the best spots where walleye are biting. With plenty of time on the water, you'll have ample opportunities to perfect your technique and land some real beauties.

What to Expect on the Water

As we push off from Port Clinton, you'll feel the excitement build. Our captain will brief you on the day's game plan, sharing insights on where the walleye are schooling and what tactics we'll be using. We typically start by heading to some proven hotspots, but don't be surprised if we make a run up to Canadian waters if that's where the fish are biting. You'll be using top-quality gear, and we'll show you the ropes on rigging up and working your bait. Expect to do some drift fishing with worm harnesses – a killer method for walleye. As we move through the day, we'll adjust our approach based on what's working. The beauty of a 7-hour trip is that we've got time to try different spots and techniques to maximize your catch.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"We drift fished with worm harness (the best way to walleye fish imo). Took a long trip up to Canadian Waters's to find the walleye and caught fish all day. Great weather, trip, and captain!" - Scott

"A great day to be on the water. A bad day for fishing! Our fishing captain worked hard to find fish. Unfortunately...the conditions were the worst for fishing. No fault of our fishing captain...just one of those days when conditions and fish did not cooperate. Still recommend this charter service." - Craig

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye is the star of the show on Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are known for their tasty white flesh and the fight they put up on the line. Walleye in Erie can grow to impressive sizes, with trophy fish over 10 pounds not uncommon. They tend to school in deeper water during the day, moving to shallower areas to feed in low light conditions. This behavior makes our early morning or late afternoon charters prime time for landing these prized fish.

While we're targeting walleye, don't be surprised if you hook into some other Lake Erie favorites. Yellow perch often share similar habitats and can provide some fast-paced action when we find a school. These smaller cousins of the walleye are delicious in their own right and can really fill out a fish fry. Smallmouth bass are another possibility, especially if we're fishing near structure. Known as "bronzebacks," these fish are pound-for-pound some of the hardest fighting freshwater fish you'll encounter.

Depending on the season, we might also come across some steelhead trout. These acrobatic fighters are a blast to catch and can reach sizes of 5-10 pounds in Lake Erie. They're most active in the cooler months but can surprise us year-round. Steelhead are known for their spectacular jumps and blistering runs, so be ready if one takes your bait!
