Trolling Tactics & Tackle Talk

On this trip, we'll be using a mix of techniques to target walleye and yellow perch. For walleye, we often troll with crankbaits or worm harnesses. We'll set up multiple lines with planer boards to cover more water and find those active fish. When we locate a school, we might switch to jigging or casting to really work them over. For perch, we'll typically anchor up and drop lines straight down with spreaders baited with minnows or worms. It's a different game than walleye fishing, but just as fun - when you hit a perch school, it can be non-stop action! We provide all the specialized gear, from downriggers to fish finders, so you can focus on the fun part - reeling 'em in. And don't worry if you're new to these techniques - our guides are patient teachers and will have you fishing like a pro in no time.

Target Species Breakdown

Walleye: The crown jewel of Lake Erie fishing, walleye are prized for both their fight and their flavor. These golden-eyed predators can grow to impressive sizes in Erie's waters, with fish over 10 pounds not uncommon. They're most active in low light conditions, which is why we get an early start. Spring and fall tend to be prime walleye seasons, but summer can produce great catches too, especially if we can find cooler, deeper water. When a big 'eye hits your lure, hang on tight - they're known for powerful runs and head shakes that'll test your skills and get your heart racing.

American Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you - yellow perch might be smaller than walleye, but they more than make up for it in numbers and taste. These feisty little fighters are a blast to catch, especially when you find a hungry school. They typically run 8-12 inches in Lake Erie, with jumbos pushing 14 inches or more. Perch fishing is often a faster-paced affair than walleye, with multiple fish coming over the rails in quick succession when you're on a hot spot. And let's not forget - many anglers consider yellow perch the best-tasting freshwater fish around. Nothing beats a fresh perch fry after a day on the lake!
