If you've been looking for the Walleye trip of a lifetime, you're in the right place. For serious Walleye fishermen, there's no better trip than this two-day special with captain Mike "Moke" Mochan. He's an expert guide who's great at putting his clients on "wallhanger" Walleye, and he'll show you a great time on the beautiful waters of Lake Erie. On this trip, you'll be trolling and drifting for lunker Walleye, throwing a variety of lures to draw bites. Walleye arent big fighters, but they're some of the best-eating freshwater fish out there, and they're super fun for every level of angler! These fish migrate across Lake Erie every year, moving from colder, deeper waters to warmer areas and back. They can be caught reliably all year, but are generally hungriest in the spring and fall. You'll be fishing from the deck of Captain Moke's 21' Warrior skiff, a great boat for small-group fishing. She's packing twin 350-HP Suzuki engines, so you'll be absolutely flying off the dock and out to the hot fishing spots! Captain Moke will supply everything you need for a blue-ribbon trip, including all rods, reels, bait and tackle! Just bring a cooler with some snacks and drinks, sunscreen, and proper clothing! The only question is, when are you coming up? Read More

At this point, you may switch to spoons or crawler harnesses depending on what's getting the bite. Walleye aren't known for being huge fighters, but they're some of the best-eating freshwater fish out there, and they're super fun for anglers of all levels.
