Target Species: Walleye

Walleye are the stars of the show on Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are known for their delicious, flaky white meat, making them a favorite among anglers and seafood lovers alike. Walleye in Lake Erie can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 10 pounds not uncommon. They're most active during low-light conditions, which is why our morning trips are prime time for catching them.

These fish are crafty hunters, using their sensitive eyes to track down prey in deeper or murky waters. They often hang out near drop-offs, rocky areas, or weed beds. Spring and fall are typically the best seasons for walleye fishing, but thanks to Lake Erie's abundant population, we can target them year-round. When you hook into a walleye, get ready for a good fight – they're known for their strength and endurance on the line.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Lake Erie isn't called the "Walleye Capital of the World" for nothing. The sheer number and size of walleye here keep anglers coming back year after year. But it's not just about the fish – it's the whole experience. Picture yourself out on the open water as the sun rises, casting your line with the Toledo skyline in the distance. There's a peacefulness to these morning trips that you just can't find anywhere else.

And let's not forget the camaraderie. Whether you're with family or friends, there's something special about sharing those moments of anticipation as you wait for a bite, and the collective excitement when someone reels in a big one. Captain Kevin's wealth of knowledge adds another layer to the trip. You'll leave not just with fish in the cooler, but with new skills and a deeper appreciation for Lake Erie's ecosystem.

Top Catches This Season

While walleye are our main target, Lake Erie is full of surprises. Depending on the time of year and where we're fishing, you might also hook into some yellow perch, smallmouth bass, or even a steelhead if we're near the river mouths. Each of these species offers its own unique fishing experience. Yellow perch, for instance, might be smaller than walleye, but they're a blast to catch and make for excellent eating. Smallmouth bass, on the other hand, are known for their acrobatic fights – when one of these bronze beauties takes your lure, hold on tight!

This season, we've been seeing some impressive walleye catches, with several fish in the 8-10 pound range. There's always the chance of hooking into a real monster – Lake Erie has produced walleye over 15 pounds before. Who knows? You might be the one to break a record on your trip with K2 Fishing Charters!
