About Your Trip

Walleye are some of the most popular freshwater gamefish in America, and for good reason! Although these fish are not huge fighters, their flakey white meat is delicious and has a soft, buttery texture that anglers love. Lake Erie is a premier Walleye fishing destination, and there's no better way to bag a few for yourself than this trip with Captain Ken!

Each year, Walleye migrate around the lake, moving from cold, deep water to warmer, shallower water and back. In order to maximize your chances of success, Captain Ken follows the fish as they move across the lake. In the spring, you'll fish the western basin, then move east as the water begins to warm up. In the fall, the fish head back west and eat like crazy as they prepare for the long winter. If you're looking to catch a trophy, spring and fall are the times to do it!

On this trip, you'll be using a variety of lures to draw bites. Depending on the time of year, there are a several different techniques to choose from. In the spring, you'll employ diving crank baits that can find Walleye down in the deep, cold water. Towards the middle of the summer, you'll focus on trolling higher in the water column. As the season progresses, you may switch to spoons or other lures depending on what's getting the bite. Captain Ken will make sure to get you set up with the best tackle, no matter the season!

Captain Ken's 37' Tiara Yacht is a beauty. She has comfortable seating for up to six, a full cabin to keep you out of the sun, and sports twin Caterpillar diesels with a combined 840 horsepower! This boat also has all the equipment you need to come home with a full cooler and great memories. A full service yacht with heat and AC, this boat is the king of Lake Erie!

Captain Ken will provide all the rods, reels, and tackle, so all you need to bring is your Ohio fishing license, proper clothing for the weather, and sun protection! What are you waiting for?
