"We had such a fantastic time fishing on Lake Erie with Captain Rick and his First Mate, Nicole on 7/11/25 and Crazy Eyes Charters. The boat was clean, stocked and prepared for everything we could possibly need for the day. This was my first fishing charter, but I'm told we were even lucky enough to have bathroom accommodations, if necessary, which is rare to find on a charter boat. That alone counts for big points towards what I call customer satisfaction👍🏻 The crew made an excellent team, had a great relationship with saucy banter between them and our captain didn't waste all his orneriness on his first mate, he had plenty to share with his charter guests which really made for a fun, playful day catching fish. Rick put us on the Walleye and we caught our limit of nice big fish in about 3.5-4 hours. Will definitely book with them again and highly recommend you check them out if you are looking for a great charter experience on Lake Erie. Thanks Nicole and Rick!🎣" - Melissa "Awesome Charter!

Let's talk walleye – the crown jewel of Lake Erie fishing. These marble-eyed beauties are the reason anglers from all over flock to these waters. Known for their tasty white flesh and challenging fight, walleye are the ultimate prize for many freshwater fishermen. In Lake Erie, they can grow to impressive sizes, with trophy fish often tipping the scales at over 10 pounds. The best part? They're abundant year-round, but spring and fall are prime time for hooking into the big ones.
Walleye are notorious for their light-sensitive eyes, which gives them a feeding advantage in low-light conditions. That's why you'll often find us hitting the water at dawn or dusk when these predators are most active. They're opportunistic feeders, gobbling up smaller fish like shiners and perch, which is why our bait selection is crucial to success. During your trip, you'll learn to read the water and understand walleye behavior, giving you skills that'll serve you well on future fishing adventures.

Walleye are prized catches in Lake Erie, known for their golden-olive color and distinctive reflective eyes. These freshwater predators typically range from 15 to 30 inches, with the big ones pushing 20 pounds. You'll often find them lurking near rocky bottoms or along weed edges in 10 to 30 feet of water. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but summer nights can be hot too. Folks love targeting walleye for their tasty white fillets and the challenge they present. These fish put up a good fight and can be finicky biters. One local trick: try slow-trolling with nightcrawler harnesses just off the bottom when the bite's tough. The light bite of a walleye can be subtle, so stay alert. Whether you're after a trophy or a fish fry, walleye fishing on Erie is hard to beat.
