Walleye rank among the most sought-after freshwater gamefish in the United States, and it’s easy to see why! While these fish may not put up a fierce fight, their flaky white flesh boasts a tender, buttery consistency that anglers truly appreciate. Lake Erie stands out as a top destination for Walleye fishing, and there’s no better way to catch your own than with a trip aboard Captain Ken’s boat!
Each year, Walleye undertake seasonal migrations across Lake Erie, shifting between cold, deep waters and warmer, shallow areas. To increase your chances of success, Captain Ken tracks these movements closely. In spring, fishing takes place in the western basin; as temperatures rise, you’ll gradually head east. Come fall, the fish return west, feeding heavily in preparation for winter. If you’re aiming to land a trophy Walleye, the spring and fall seasons offer the best opportunities!
During your trip, you’ll use a variety of lures tailored to the time of year to attract the fish. Spring fishing typically involves diving crankbaits that target Walleye in deeper, cooler waters. Mid-summer calls for trolling closer to the surface, while later in the season, spoons or other lures might be more effective depending on the bite. Regardless of the season, Captain Ken will equip you with the ideal tackle to maximize your catch.
