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 fishing, walleye are the hard-fighting, great-tasting prize that keeps anglers coming back year after year. These golden-eyed predators can grow to trophy sizes in Erie's fertile waters, with 5-8 pounders being common and double-digit weights always possible. Spring and fall are prime time for walleye, but summer can produce some monster fish if you know where to look. We'll be targeting them with crawler harnesses, crankbaits, and blade baits, adjusting our tactics based on the season and conditions. There's nothing quite like the thump of a big walleye hitting your lure – it'll have you grinning from ear to ear.

American Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you – these tasty little fighters are a blast to catch and even better on the dinner table. Lake Erie's perch are known for their plumpness and sweet, flaky meat. We typically find them in schools, so when you hook one, get ready for some fast action! Fall is the peak season when these fish really fatten up, but we can target them year-round. We'll use light tackle and small jigs tipped with minnows or worms to entice these feisty fish. The best part? There's no better fish fry than one with fresh Lake Erie perch!

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, if you're serious about your fishing and want to tangle with some of the best walleye and perch action Lake Erie has to offer, this is the trip for you. We're talking a full day of targeted fishing with a pro who knows these waters like the back of his hand. You'll be using top-notch gear and learning techniques that'll up your fishing game for years to come. Whether you're looking to fill the freezer or just want the thrill of battling Erie's famous gamefish, Bercaw Sportfishing's got you covered. Spots fill up fast, especially during prime seasons, so don't wait to lock in your date. Give us a shout, and let's get you out on the water for a day of fishing you won't soon forget. Trust me, once you've experienced Lake Erie fishing at this level, you'll be hooked for life!

American Yellow Perch

Lake Erie's yellow perch are a blast to catch and even better to eat. These golden-hued fish usually run 7-10 inches long, with bigger ones pushing 12-14 inches. You'll find them schooling up near the bottom in 15-30 feet of water, often around weed edges or rocky areas. Spring and fall are prime times, but we catch 'em year-round. Perch put up a scrappy fight on light tackle, and their sweet, flaky meat is hard to beat. To boost your catch, try downsizing your bait and hooks - small minnows or pieces of nightcrawler on a #6 hook often outperform larger offerings. When you find a school, drop straight down and work the bottom - these fish like to hug the lake floor. Limits are common when you get on a good bunch, making for some fun, fast-paced action.

American Yellow Perch

Walleye

Walleye are the crown jewel of Lake Erie fishing. These olive-gold predators average 2-5 pounds, with trophy fish pushing past 10. They're structure-oriented, so we target them near bottom breaks, rocky reefs, and weed edges in 15-35 feet of water. Dawn and dusk are prime feeding times, but cloudy days can produce all day long. Walleye put up a stubborn, head-shaking fight and are prized for their firm, white fillets. Trolling with crankbaits or nightcrawler harnesses is deadly effective, but jigging can be the ticket when they're hugging tight to structure. Here's a local tip: when the water's clear, try using planer boards to spread your lines out wider - it'll help you cover more water and keep your baits away from the boat. Spring and fall offer the best action, but summer can be lights-out if you know where to look.
