Whether you're a local looking to up your game or visiting from out of town, this is the trip that'll have you coming back for more.

What's the Deal?

Picture this: You're launching at the crack of dawn from Magee East Marina, the smell of fresh lake air filling your lungs. Our trips run 4 to 8 hours, giving you plenty of time to get your fill of walleye action. We've got all the gear you need - rods, reels, and bait are on us. And when the day's done? We'll clean your catch (when available), so you can head home with fresh fillets ready for the pan. Just remember to pack a soft cooler for your snacks and drinks, slap on some sunscreen, and don't forget that all-important Ohio fishing license. Trust me, you'll want a big cooler for the walleye you'll be taking home!

Hooking Walleye Like a Pro

Alright, let's talk technique. We're not just throwing lines in the water and hoping for the best. Our guides know every trick in the book for landing walleye on Lake Erie. We'll likely be doing some serious trolling - that's where we drag lures or bait behind the boat at specific speeds. It's all about finding that sweet spot where the walleye are biting. We might switch it up with some jigging if the fish are feeling picky. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like feeling that telltale tug on your line when a big walleye takes the bait. We'll show you how to set the hook just right and reel in your catch like you've been doing it for years.

Why Anglers Can't Get Enough

Listen, I've been guiding these waters for years, and I still get a kick out of seeing folks' faces when they land their first big walleye. There's something special about fishing Lake Erie - maybe it's the wide-open feel of the lake, or the thrill of battling those feisty walleye. Our customers keep coming back because they know we put them on the fish, sure, but it's more than that. It's the whole experience - the early morning light on the water, the camaraderie on the boat, and that unbeatable feeling of success when you're heading back to shore with a cooler full of fish.

Walleye: The Crown Jewel of Lake Erie

Now, let's talk about our star of the show - the walleye. These fish are the reason Lake Erie is known as the "Walleye Capital of the World," and for good reason. Walleye in Erie can grow up to 30 inches and weigh over 10 pounds, though most keepers are in the 15-25 inch range. They've got these big, glassy eyes that give them killer night vision, which is why they're such active feeders in low light conditions. Spring and fall are prime time for walleye fishing, but we catch them year-round.

What makes walleye so special? First off, they're crafty. These fish will make you work for them, which makes landing one all the sweeter. They've got a subtle bite, so you've got to stay on your toes. But the real kicker? They're absolutely delicious. We're talking sweet, flaky white meat that's hard to beat. Whether you like them fried, baked, or grilled, walleye make for some of the best fish dinners you'll ever have.

Walleye have this interesting behavior where they school up based on size. So when we find a hot spot, we're often pulling in fish of similar size. They love to hang out near drop-offs and underwater structures, which is where our local knowledge really comes in handy. We know just where to look to put you on the fish.
