Adventure Awaits on the Open Water
Due to the deep waters and diverse structures out from Presque Isle, Lake Erie offers an incredible multi-species fishery. Docked at the prime marina for fast lake access, we target the finest waters of the Central and Eastern Basins to ensure a safe, memorable, and successful sportfishing outing.
Targeted Species on Lake Erie
Lake Trout
We troll for these hard-fighting bruisers from May through mid-June. They average 10–15 pounds, with trophies often exceeding 20 pounds, offering savage, drag-running hookups.
Walleye
We troll or drift for these delicious fish from June through mid-October. Averaging 2–5 pounds alongside 8-pound trophies, we supply all necessary nightcrawlers and worm harnesses.
Smallmouth Bass
We target these aerial, hard-fighting bronzebacks nearshore in May and June before moving offshore. They average 2–4 pounds, with trophy-sized fish reaching 5 pounds or more.
Steelhead Trout
We troll offshore in deep waters for these spectacular, aerial fighters from mid-August through September. These lake-run rainbows average 4–8 pounds, with trophies topping 10 pounds.
Yellow Perch
We use light tackle for these tasty bottom-dwellers, making it a perfect, non-stop action trip for families. Best targeted August through September; we catch them two at a time.
