1. Lake Erie (Ohio)
- Ports of Departure: Primarily Port Clinton, as well as Huron and Vermilion.
- What They Target: They specialize in walleye (using casting, drift-jigging, and trolling techniques), jumbo yellow perch, and smallmouth bass. They also run seasonal open-water and marshland waterfowl hunts in this region.
2. Lake Ontario (New York)
- Port of Departure: Olcott.
- What They Target: Deep-water sportfish, specifically King (Chinook) salmon, coho salmon, brown trout, lake trout, and steelhead.
By dividing their operations between the shallow, highly productive western basin of Lake Erie and the deep, cold offshore waters of Lake Ontario, their captains follow the best seasonal bites to put you on the fish year-round.
