Trolling Tricks of the Trade

On this charter, we're all about the trolling life. It's the go-to method for nabbing walleye on Erie, and boy, does it work wonders. We'll set up multiple lines off the back of the boat, each rigged with lures that make walleye go wild. As we cruise at just the right speed, those lures dance through the water, mimicking the walleye's favorite snacks. It's like a buffet line for fish, and they can't resist! Captain Rick's got the inside scoop on which lures are hot and which colors are catching eyes (pun intended) on any given day. He'll show you how to watch the rods for that subtle dip that means it's fish on. And when that reel starts singing? That's your cue to jump into action and start reeling in your catch!

What Anglers Are Saying

"My first time charter fishing, or fishing from a boat, or with people who knew how to fish, and I had a great time, and would definitely do it again! They make it super easy, and we had 11 year old kids reeling in some of the biggest catches of the day🤣 Both Rick and Nikki (hoping I remembered their names correctly, and hoping they forgive me for misspelling them) were extremely nice, easy going, and willing to answer all my odd questions on the trip." - Ballsack

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye – the crown jewel of Lake Erie fishing. These golden-eyed predators are the reason anglers flock to these waters, and for good reason. Known for their tasty white flesh and the thrill they bring to the line, walleye are the ultimate prize on this charter. These bad boys can grow up to 20 pounds or more, though a good-sized catch typically ranges from 2 to 5 pounds. Walleye are most active during low light conditions, which is why early mornings or evenings can be prime time for hooking them. But don't worry – Captain Rick knows all their hideouts, no matter the time of day.

Walleye are ambush predators, often hanging out near underwater structures or in deeper waters during the day. They've got a mouthful of sharp teeth, perfect for snagging smaller fish, which is why our lures are designed to mimic their favorite meals. The real excitement comes when you're reeling one in – these fish are fighters, and they'll give you a run for your money as they dive and dodge. And let's not forget the "walleye chop" – that's when a light wind creates small waves on the surface, creating ideal conditions for walleye to feed. It's during these times that Captain Rick's expertise really shines, positioning the boat just right to maximize your chances of a monster catch.

While walleye are our main target, Lake Erie's waters are teeming with other species too. Don't be surprised if you hook into some yellow perch, smallmouth bass, or even a monster steelhead trout. Each of these fish offers its own unique challenge and excitement, adding variety to your day on the water. Yellow perch, often found in schools, can provide fast action and are delicious eating. Smallmouth bass are known for their acrobatic fights, leaping out of the water as you reel them in. And if you're lucky enough to hook a steelhead, hold on tight – these silver bullets can grow over 30 inches long and put up a battle that'll have your arms aching (in the best way possible).

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing Lake Erie that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the thrill of battling a big walleye as it tries to shake your hook. Or perhaps it's the camaraderie that builds as you and your buddies swap fish tales and share laughs under the open sky. For many, it's the expert guidance of Captain Rick, who's got a knack for putting you on fish and making sure everyone has a blast, regardless of skill level. And let's be real – there's nothing quite like the pride of bringing home a cooler full of fresh walleye fillets for a fish fry that'll make you the hero of the neighborhood.

But it's not just about the fish. A day out on Lake Erie is a chance to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with nature. As you cruise across the water, you might spot bald eagles soaring overhead or see the distant skyline of Cleveland shimmer in the sunlight. It's a reminder of just how beautiful and wild this Great Lake can be. And when the bite is slow? That's when the real magic happens – swapping stories, learning new techniques, and soaking in the peacefulness of being out on the water. It's these moments that turn first-time charter guests into lifelong fishing buddies.
