The Best Walleye Fishing in the World!

Eriegardless Sportfishing offers fishing charters on Lake Erie for walleye starting in early April. At that time we fish around the reef complex in the Western Basin. This early fishing, without a doubt, is "Trophy" walleye fishing season for Lake Erie walleye trips. For that reason our walleye trolling trips focus on pre- and post- spawn females during the early Lake Erie fishing charter season. Subsequently, many Lake Erie walleye caught at this time will qualify for Fish Ohio, at a minimum length of 28 inches! Therefore, booking a charter during this time offers the best chance to catch a fish of a lifetime!

The walleye fishing season continues, however, even after the females head east after the spawn. The Western Basin hold resident walleye all year due to all the structure and abundant of bait. Because of this, fishing the Western Basin offers ample opportunities for catching walleye all summer. In short, booking a charter trip with Eriegardless Sportfishing will provide anglers the opportunity to catch their limit of walleye throughout the fishing season.

Perch Fishing Charters on Lake Erie

Eriegardless Sportfishing also offers charters in the Western Basin for perch. Perch fishing on Lake Erie is enjoyable for experienced fisherman as well as beginner fisherman. In contrast to walleye, the best time for perch fishing begins in August and runs through end of season in October. Moreover, each licensed fisherman can catch up to 30 perch per day on our Lake Erie perch fishing charter. Book a Lake Erie perch fishing charter with Eriegardless Sportfishing for a truly memorable experience! Most importantly, for the ultimate experience, book a Combo trip that offers a full day of both walleye fishing and perch fishing!
