Ready to chase some trophy walleye on Lake Erie? Our 4-8 hour charters out of Bolles Harbor are just the ticket. We're talking prime fishing grounds, expert local knowledge, and the chance to land some serious bragging rights. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, our trips are tailored to give you the best shot at hooking into some monster walleye.
We'll kick things off bright and early, meeting up at Bolles Harbor in Monroe, Michigan. Now, while that's our usual launching spot, we might switch it up if the weather's acting funky or the fish are playing hard to get. Just a heads up - if you're over 16, you'll need a Michigan fishing license. And depending on where the walleye are biting, we might need to dip into Ohio waters, so an Ohio license could come in handy too. Our boat's set up to handle up to 6 anglers comfortably, so bring your crew and let's make it happen!
On these Lake Erie charters, we're all about trolling - it's the name of the game for walleye. We'll be using a mix of crankbaits, crawler harnesses, and maybe even some spoons if the conditions are right. Our setup includes downriggers and planer boards to cover more water and hit different depths. Don't sweat the gear - we've got you covered with top-notch rods, reels, and all the tackle you'll need. Just bring your game face and maybe a lucky hat!
Walleye are the star of the show on Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are known for their hard fights and even better eating. They typically run 2-5 pounds, but don't be surprised if we hook into some 8-10 pound monsters - Lake Erie is famous for producing some real giants. Spring and fall are prime time for walleye, but we can catch them year-round with the right tactics. These fish love to hang around structure and drop-offs, so we'll be targeting those sweet spots. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the thump of a big walleye hitting your line - it'll get your heart racing every time!
Lake Erie isn't called the "Walleye Capital of the World" for nothing. The western basin, where we fish, is absolutely loaded with walleye. It's not uncommon for our trips to land 30, 40, or even 50+ fish in a day when the bite is on. Plus, the scenery out here is something else - wide open water, islands in the distance, and some of the best sunrises you'll ever see. And let's not forget the fish fry you'll be able to have afterward - there's nothing like fresh Lake Erie walleye on the grill!
Look, if you're itching to get out on the water and tangle with some hard-fighting walleye, don't wait around. Our prime dates fill up fast, especially during peak seasons. Give us a shout, and we'll get you set up with everything you need for an awesome day on Lake Erie. Whether you're looking to fill the freezer or just want to experience some world-class walleye fishing, we've got you covered. So what are you waiting for? Let's get those lines in the water and start making some memories!
Walleye are crafty predators that keep anglers on their toes. These golden-olive fish with signature reflective eyes typically grow 15-30 inches long. You'll find them hanging around rocky structures and weed edges in 10-30 foot depths. They're most active at dawn and dusk, when low light gives them an edge. Spring and fall are prime walleye seasons as water temps cool. Folks love targeting walleye for their firm, flaky white meat - some of the best eating fish around. They also put up a good fight on light tackle. To land a nice walleye, try slow-trolling a nightcrawler harness along breaklines. When you feel that telltale "tap-tap" bite, set the hook and hold on tight! These toothy critters have a knack for throwing hooks at the last second. Patience and a steady retrieve are key to getting them in the boat.
