Weekend success! Lake Erie Trophy Walleye Charter

Successful Weekend fishing for Lake Erie Walleyes.

What a tough weekend.  Now wonder the forecast was all over the place.  The weather sure was.  Friday they were predicting 1-3' waves out of the NW.  We set up a good troll and had several pull backs but only landed one fish trolling.  We ended up jigging the flats the rest of the evening with anticipation of the up coming two calm days predicted.  When we woke up Saturday morning Lake Erie was high and rough, with 3-5' seas out of the NE.  I had to put the boat on the trailer and seek shelter by the Islands.  We managed 3 Tankers trolling in the calmer water.  Then we went jigging for a while and caught a few other species, but no Walleye.  Sunday the forecasters were calling for even rougher seas and it was doubtful we would even be able to fish.  Much to our surprise the lake was in pretty good shape on Sunday morning and the down graded the forecast.  We had our best day on Sunday, and managed to catch a nice rack of fish by 1 pm.  Not bad for sticking it out in March.

14.8 lb. Lake Erie Giant Walleye

Check out this Giant Lake Erie Walleye caught last week.  Although this fish did not come from one of our boats, it is a testament to the quality of fishing Lake Erie has to offer.  All the more reason to book a Trophy Walleye Fishing Charter with us and have a shot at one of these Lake Erie Hawg Eyes.  Watch as these guys have a 40 fish day and then catch a 14.8 lb. Walleye to top off their day.

A Waterfowl Guide's Perspective on 'Success'

By CAPT LARRY WEISS

  Guys, Food for thought. Something I've learned after guiding on the lake (Lake Erie) for the last 8 years: Often the most enjoyable day out for your friends, family, or customers may not mirror your idea of a good day.

 Example: yesterday, my long time hunting partner Kevin Wilson, and I took my nephew, Jake Cisman on a "Youth Mentored Hunt" which Jake won, online in a lottery. At the young age of 13 Jake was super-excited to say the least. 

 The area we hunted hosts two hunts per day.  Kevin and I knew the afternoon segment was going to be tough.  Being opening day, and the fact that the area had already had a lot of pressure during the AM, the ducks had vacated. 

  Jake could see coots off in the distance swimming closer by the hour.  Eventually two were swimming just outside of our decoys. I instructed Jake to stand up and try his luck when the coots began to fly off.  He picked out one coot and dropped it on his second shot.  Kevin and I couldn’t get over his enthusiasm over his Coot. 

  Eventually some snipe buzzed our spread and I informed him that those, too, were legal waterfowl.  What happened next was amazing.  Jake doubled on those Snipe on their next swing.  By the end of the hunt Jake ended up getting another double on Coots and Kevin and I each shot one also.  We had a blast shooting Snipe & Coot. We had a great time watching Jake getting in some shooting, and having success.

  Needless to say we saw several disappointed boys when we got back to the parking area at the conclusion of the hunt. Of course, everyone wanted to know what we were shooting at. We received a lot of looks of disapproval from other adults upon revealing our quarry. We had a great time and even chuckled a little at his excitement of shooting Coots. Reminded me of when I was younger and how I had a different picture of what success was.  Jake cleaned and ate those birds without a complaint.  With Social Media & TV people seem to have an inflated view of what this sport is all about.  Bottom line is: its what you make of it, and I think we have lost site of that.

The Spring Migration for Diver Ducks has begun.

Photos of the Spring Migration can take your breath away!  Redheads tend to look this incredible during the fall on our Guided Diver Duck Hunts.  Most ducks are not as colorful during the Fall as they are during the Spring when it's mating time. This photo courtesy of Weatherman Waterfowl
