Best times to catch Walleye on Lake Erie.

Number one question I get when people call to book a Fishing Charter on Lake Erie for Walleye:  (When is the best time to fish?)  My answer is always weekdays and afternoons.  It seems that everyone wants Saturday or Sunday mornings.  Since these are the most popular days/times that fit in with customers schedules, these days book first.  These aren't necessarily the best times to fish though.

Here's the reason;  Too much pressure!  Every charter in a 5 mile area is booked on Saturday morning.  Add to that every person that owns  boat is also out on Saturday morning.  There are boats as the eye can see during these times.  It is sometimes impossible to stay on an active pod of fish with all of the boat traffic around.

During the afternoon on Saturday most charters are off of the lake for the day, most of the weekend warriors are at camp or home because they have already finished up for the day.

This allows us to stay on feeding fish longer once we find them.  If we find a hot pocket, we can re-drift them over and over without a million boats getting a shot at them first.  Bottom line!  Weekend day trips are just too crowded on the lake.

During the week while you are at work, we do a lot better on the Walleyes with customers that took a vacation day to avoid the weekend crowds.  Let's face it, your spending a decent amount of money when you consider travel expenses and lodging for charter fishing.  Consider a weekday or afternoon trip in the future to boost your  chances of a successful catch.

Beautiful Sunrises on Lake Erie.

Beautiful mornings are what our weeks are filled with during charter fishing season.  It has been unseasonably cold, but that hasn't impeded us  from chasing Lake Erie Walleye.  There is just something about Jig season that makes true fishermen brave the elements.  Our charters on Lake Erie start early here in Ohio.  Sometimes we never stop, even during the winter.  Come out and try it sometime.

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.
