Reeling Them In
7-Hour Lake Erie Fishing: Walleye & Perch
Ready to reel in some of Lake Erie's finest? Hop aboard our 30' Sportcraft for a full day of fishing action with Liberty Charters LLC. We're talking 7 solid hours on the water, targeting prized walleye and yellow perch. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, Captain Robert George has got you covered with expert know-how and all the gear you need. With room for up to 6 guests, it's the perfect setup for a day out with friends or family. Let's get after those fish!
What to Expect on the Water
Picture this: You're cruising out on Lake Erie's sparkling waters, the anticipation building as Captain Robert scouts out the prime fishing spots. We'll be using top-notch equipment and tried-and-true techniques to put you on the fish. You'll learn the ins and outs of Lake Erie fishing, from reading the water to perfecting your cast. And when that rod bends over with a big walleye or a mess of perch? That's what we're here for! Just remember to bring some snacks and drinks to keep your energy up – the fish aren't the only ones that'll be biting all day!
Trolling, Jigging, and More
On this trip, we'll be mixing it up with different fishing methods to maximize our chances. Trolling is a big part of walleye fishing on Erie – we'll set up lines with crawler harnesses or crankbaits and cover some serious water. When we find a school of perch, we'll switch gears and drop some jigs tipped with minnows. Captain Robert will show you the ropes, from setting the spread to reading the fish finder. You'll be hands-on the whole time, reeling in fish and maybe even learning to net them. It's all about adapting to what the lake gives us that day.
Top Catches This Season
Lake Erie's been on fire lately, folks. We've been seeing some chunky walleyes in the 5-8 pound range, with a few real monsters breaking the 10-pound mark. The perch fishing's been stellar too – lots of jumbo perch filling up coolers. One group last week limited out on walleye by noon and spent the rest of the trip pulling in perch after perch. Another highlight was a father-son duo who both caught their personal best walleyes on the same day. That's the kind of memory that sticks with you!
Species You'll Want to Hook
Walleye: These golden-eyed predators are the crown jewel of Lake Erie fishing. They're known for their hard fights and even better eating. We typically find walleye cruising structure or suspending over deep water, following schools of baitfish. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but summer can be red hot too. There's nothing quite like the thump of a walleye hitting your lure – it'll get your heart racing every time.
Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you – these striped battlers punch above their weight class. Lake Erie's perch are famous for good reason. They school up in big numbers, so when you find them, it's often non-stop action. Late summer and fall are prime time for perch, but we catch them year-round. And let me tell you, a fresh perch fry is hard to beat. Catching your own dinner doesn't get much better than this!
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Lake Erie isn't called the "Walleye Capital of the World" for nothing. The sheer numbers and size of fish here keep anglers coming back year after year. But it's not just about the fish – it's about the whole experience. The vastness of the lake, the camaraderie on board, and the thrill of never knowing what you might catch next. Our guests love the hands-on approach – you're not just along for the ride, you're part of the action. And with Captain Robert's decades of experience, you're always learning something new, whether it's your first time out or your fiftieth.

Learn more about the species
American Yellow Perch
Lake Erie's yellow perch are a blast to catch and even better to eat. These golden beauties typically run 7-10 inches, but can reach up to 15 inches in our waters. You'll find them schooling near the bottom in 20-30 feet, often around weed beds or rocky areas. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but we catch 'em year-round. Perch are known for their light, flaky white meat - perfect for a fish fry. They're scrappy fighters on light tackle, making them fun for anglers of all skill levels. To boost your odds, try drifting with a perch spreader rig baited with minnows or worms. When you find a school, drop anchor and get ready for some fast action. Just remember, these fish have small mouths, so keep your hooks on the smaller side.
Walleye
Walleye are the crown jewel of Lake Erie fishing. These olive-gold predators typically range from 2-5 pounds, but 10-pounders aren't unheard of. They're deep-water hunters, hanging out near drop-offs and underwater structures. We target them in 15-30 feet during summer, but they move shallower in spring and fall. Walleye are known for their excellent table fare - sweet, flaky white meat that's hard to beat. They put up a good fight too, with powerful runs and head shakes. Night fishing can be incredibly productive, as walleye have excellent low-light vision. For best results, try trolling with crawler harnesses or diving crankbaits. My local tip: when the mayflies are hatching, switch to purple or black lures. Walleye go crazy for them during the hatch.
