On Lake Erie, trolling is the name of the game when it comes to walleye. We'll be setting up with downriggers, planer boards, and sometimes dipsy divers to get our lures down where the big ones lurk. Captain Rick's got a whole arsenal of crankbaits, worm harnesses, and spoons in every color of the rainbow. We'll be dragging these tasty-looking lures behind the boat, covering lots of water to find those active fish. It's a bit like playing tug-of-war with the lake – when a walleye hits, you'll feel that telltale thump on the rod. Then it's game on! Reel 'em in, and let's see if we've got a new "PB" (that's fishing talk for personal best) on the line.
Walleye are the star of the show on Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are some of the tastiest fish you'll ever sink your teeth into. But they're not just good eating – they put up a heck of a fight too. Walleye in Erie can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 10 pounds not uncommon. The best part? They school up, so when you find one, you've often found a bunch. Spring and fall are prime times for walleye fishing, but summer can be red hot too. These fish love to hang out near underwater structure and drop-offs, using their keen eyesight to ambush prey. When you hook into a big walleye, get ready for some serious head shakes and diving runs. It's no wonder anglers come from all over to tangle with Erie's walleye – they're the perfect mix of sport and table fare.
While walleye are our main target, don't be surprised if we tangle with some other Erie residents. Yellow perch are common catches and make for some excellent fish fries. In the warmer months, we might run into some hard-fighting smallmouth bass. And if we're really lucky, we could hook into a trophy-sized steelhead or lake trout. Lake Erie's ecosystem is diverse, and that translates to exciting fishing opportunities year-round.
There's something special about fishing Lake Erie that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the thrill of battling those chunky walleye. Or perhaps it's the chance to learn from a seasoned pro like Captain Rick. For many, it's the simple pleasure of being out on the water, surrounded by friends or family, with nothing but open sky and the promise of the next big catch.

Walleye are the kings of Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden-olive fish grow big here, often 20-30 inches and up to 20 pounds. They're deep-water prowlers, hanging out near rock piles and weed edges in 10+ feet during the day. But come evening, they move shallow to feed. Spring and fall are prime walleye seasons on Erie. That's when they're most active and we can really get into them. Folks love targeting walleye for their fight and fantastic eating. The meat is white, flaky, and delicious - perfect for a fish fry. To catch these guys, we'll troll slowly with live bait rigs. Minnows, nightcrawlers, and leeches all work well. Here's a local trick: use a 1/4 to 1/2 oz sinker with a 3-6 foot leader. That'll get your bait right in the strike zone. Walleye have excellent low-light vision, so overcast days are your friend. When the sun's out, we'll focus on deeper haunts. With some patience and the right technique, you'll be reeling in these prized Lake Erie targets in no time.
