Fishing Season

Our season begins in April and runs through October.

Some of the best walleye action occurs between April and the end of July. Mid-September through the end of October can also be productive. Julyt through October are usually your best bet for perch.


Walleye Charters

Drift Fishing Only, No Trolling

Lake Erie continues its reputation as being the walleye capital of the world. Western Lake Erie offers some of the finest walleye angling to be found. Drift fishing is the preferred method for Walleye.

We begin our season jigging on the reefs and shallows. The Walleye are spawning then and catch rates tend to be high. As the water warms the fish begin to chase spinners and that is the method of choice for the rest of the year. April through July is our primary season for Walleye. Fall walleye fishing can be good also, but is not as dependable.


Yellow Perch Charters

About July the perch begin to school up and the catching gets good. The action usually remains very good right up until the end of the season, the end of October. You should expect an average size of 8-10 inches, with a good number of 10-12 inch fish many days. Limits of perch are common. For Perch we offer a shorter 7-hour charter at a reduced rate. This is a very economical trip in which all tackle and bait are included for a much lesser rate than our full-day charter. Families and smaller groups find this very appealing because of the affordability.


Four-Hour Half Day Trip

This is a shortened trip for people with less time or are looking for a more economical charter. We can fish for Walleye or Perch. We can also offer a shoreline tour, lighthouse tour, etc.
