What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard Captain Rick's boat, you're in for a real Erie adventure. We'll motor out to where the walleye are biting, usually not too far from shore. Lake Erie's known for its sometimes choppy waters, so don't be surprised if we're rocking and rolling a bit – it's all part of the fun! Captain Rick knows these waters like the back of his hand, so he'll have us on the fish in no time. We'll be using top-notch gear and the latest fish-finding tech to maximize our chances. Expect to learn some new tricks too – Captain Rick's always happy to share his walleye wisdom. And hey, if the bite's slow, no worries. The views of the Erie shoreline are worth the trip alone.

Trolling for Trophy Walleye

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.

Species You'll Want to Hook

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.
