What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard with Savage Pursuit Guide Service, you're in for a treat. We'll be cruising out of Oak Harbor, heading straight for the prime walleye spots. This time of year, these fish are feeding like crazy, bulking up for the spawn. That means more action and bigger fish for us! We'll be out there for a solid 10 hours, giving you plenty of time to work those rods and land some monsters. The western basin is known for its trophy walleye, and we know just where to find 'em. Don't be surprised if you catch the biggest walleye of your life on this trip - it happens all the time!

Trolling Tactics and Top-Notch Gear

On this charter, we'll be using some tried-and-true trolling techniques to put you on the fish. We're talking about pulling crawler harnesses, crankbaits, and maybe even some custom-painted stickbaits if the bite is right. Our boat is rigged with top-of-the-line equipment - we're talking Shimano reels, quality rods, and fish-finding tech that'll make your head spin. We'll have planer boards out to cover more water and get those lures away from the boat. Don't worry if you're new to this style of fishing - we'll show you the ropes and have you reeling in walleye like a pro in no time.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Let me tell you, once you've experienced Lake Erie walleye fishing, you'll be hooked for life. The sheer number of fish out there is mind-blowing, but it's the size that really gets people talking. We're not messing around with dinks here - we're after the bruisers, the kind that make your arms ache and your heart race. And there's something special about being out on Erie. The open water, the fresh air, the camaraderie on the boat - it's an experience you can't get anywhere else. Plus, with a 6-person max on our charters, you're guaranteed plenty of rod time and personalized attention from the captain.

Target Species: The Mighty Walleye

Alright, let's talk about the star of the show - the walleye. These fish are the reason Lake Erie is called the "Walleye Capital of the World," and for good reason. Walleye in Erie can grow to trophy sizes, with fish over 10 pounds not uncommon. They've got those distinctive marble eyes that seem to glow in the dark, and a set of chompers that'll make short work of any bait you throw their way. Walleye are known for their tasty white flesh, but on this trip, we're more interested in their fighting ability and photo potential. Spring and fall are prime times for big walleye, as they move into shallower water to feed. When you hook into a big one, get ready for a battle - these fish know how to use the current to their advantage and will make you work for every inch of line.
