Lake Erie's Elite Walleye & Perch Adventure

Get ready to test your skills against Lake Erie's most prized catches on this advanced fishing charter out of Port Clinton, Ohio. For 7 action-packed hours, you'll be targeting trophy walleye and jumbo yellow perch with the expertise of Bercaw Sportfishing's seasoned captains. This isn't your average day on the water – it's a specialized trip designed for anglers looking to up their game and fill the cooler with some serious Lake Erie gold.

What to Expect on the Water

From the moment you step aboard in Port Clinton, you're in for a true Erie experience. Our 7-hour trip is all about maximizing your time on the fish. We'll run out to the hotspots where the big ones are biting, using state-of-the-art electronics to pinpoint schools and structure. With a max of 4 guests, you'll have plenty of elbow room to work those rods. No need to lug your gear – we provide top-notch rods, reels, and all the tackle you'll need to entice those walleye and perch. Just remember to grab your Ohio fishing license before you arrive, and we'll handle the rest.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

This ain't no bobber-watching excursion. We're talking advanced techniques that the pros use to consistently boat big fish on Erie. You'll be trolling with precision-tuned setups, jigging over key structure, and drift fishing when the conditions are right. Depending on the season and bite, we might be pulling crawler harnesses, working blade baits, or finessing soft plastics. Our captain will clue you in on reading the sonar, adjusting for wind and current, and fine-tuning your presentations. By the end of the day, you'll have added some serious skills to your angling arsenal.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"Our trip was one to remember and Captain Drew is second to none. We had a cold front and high winds to deal with and he still had us on fish. From three generations of Taylor's we want to say how much we appreciate the hard work that you put in to get us on active fish. We are looking forward to the next trip" - Rick

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye: The crown jewel of Lake Erie, walleyes here grow to epic proportions. These golden-eyed predators can top 10 pounds, with 5-7 pounders being common catches. Spring and fall offer the best shot at true trophies, but summertime can produce incredible numbers. Walleye love to chase baitfish near bottom structure, and their aggressive strikes will have your rod doubled over in no time. There's nothing quite like the fight of a big Erie 'eye coming to the net.

Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you – yellow perch are the tastiest fish in the lake, pound for pound. These feisty panfish travel in large schools, and when you find them, the action can be non-stop. Late summer and fall are prime time for jumbo perch, with fish over 12 inches not uncommon. They love to hang near bottom structure and will readily attack small jigs and minnows. The best part? A limit of perch means a fish fry is in your future!

Time to Book Your Spot

If you're ready to test your skills against Lake Erie's finest, this advanced charter is calling your name. With Bercaw Sportfishing, you're not just booking a trip – you're signing up for a masterclass in Great Lakes angling.

American Yellow Perch

Lake Erie's yellow perch are a blast to catch and even better to eat. These golden-hued fish typically run 7-10 inches long, hanging out in schools near the bottom. You'll find 'em around weed beds, drop-offs, and submerged structure in 15-30 feet of water. Spring and fall are prime perch seasons, but they bite year-round. Folks love targeting perch for their scrappy fight on light tackle and their unbeatable taste fresh out of the lake. To boost your odds, try a simple spread of small jigs tipped with minnows or worms. Keep your bait near the bottom and be ready for that telltale tap-tap-tap when they start nibbling. Once you find a school, you can often catch a bunch in quick succession. Just remember, these aren't big fish, so finesse is key – light line and small hooks will get you more bites.

Walleye

Walleye are the crown jewel of Lake Erie fishing. These predators average 2-5 pounds but can top 10 pounds or more. They've got a sleek, golden-olive body and those distinctive "glass eyes" that give them killer night vision. You'll find walleye cruising deeper water during the day, often 20-40 feet down over rocky bottoms or along underwater ledges. They move shallow to feed at night or on cloudy days. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but summer nights can be red hot too. Anglers love walleye for their hard-fighting spirit and exceptional table fare. To hook into these toothy critters, try trolling with crawler harnesses or crankbaits that mimic baitfish. My local tip? When the sun's high, focus on deeper water and use brighter lure colors to get their attention in the darker depths. Once you find the right depth and speed, you can often limit out in no time.
