What to Expect on the Water

Your walleye adventure kicks off at 1 PM when you'll meet Capt. Kenny at the dock. After a quick safety briefing, you'll head out onto Lake Erie's open waters. The 39-foot Tiara provides plenty of room for up to 6 guests to spread out and fish comfortably. No need to worry about the weather - the partially enclosed fishing platform and heated amenities mean you'll stay cozy even if the lake kicks up. Capt. Kenny will get the trolling spread set up with planer boards, diving plugs, and crawler harnesses - all the gear needed to entice those walleye to bite. As you cruise along at trolling speed, keep an eye on those rod tips and get ready to reel when you see one start bouncing!

Trolling Tips & Tackle Talk

Trolling is the name of the game when it comes to walleye fishing on Lake Erie. Capt. Kenny will have an array of trolling rods rigged up and ready to go. He'll likely be running a mix of planer boards to spread lines out wide, along with some lines straight off the back of the boat. Diving crankbaits like Reef Runners and Bandits are walleye candy out here. When the fish are feeding up higher in the water column, crawler harnesses behind inline weights or snap weights often do the trick. Water temperature, time of year, and what the baitfish are doing all factor into where those 'eyes will be hanging out. Capt. Kenny stays on top of the latest reports and knows how to put you on the fish. All you need to do is be ready to grab that rod when it goes off!

What Anglers Are Saying

"Capt. Kenny took us out on the lake and gave us a grand sight seeing tour of the surrounding islands on his yacht the Preacher. Very comfortable and we had a great time learning the history of the area. Well worth doing if your going to be in the area." - Doug

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye are the star of the show on Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators put up a great fight and taste even better on the dinner table. Lake Erie is known for producing some absolute trophy walleye, with fish over 10 pounds not uncommon. Spring and fall tend to be prime time for numbers, but summer can produce some real giants. Walleye typically hang out near the thermocline, often suspending over deeper water and following schools of baitfish. They have excellent low-light vision, which is why dawn and dusk are often the best times to target them. When you hook into a good-sized walleye, get ready for some head shakes and powerful runs. Landing a limit of these tasty fish is always a trip highlight.

While walleye are the main target, don't be surprised if you hook into some bonus species. Yellow perch often show up in the same areas as walleye and put up a scrappy fight on light tackle. In the warmer months, you might tangle with some hard-fighting smallmouth bass. And if you're really lucky, you could even hook into a monster Lake Erie steelhead while trolling for walleye. The diversity of fish in these waters means you never know what might grab your bait next!
