Let's break down what you can expect when you hop aboard with Erie Obsession Sportfishing.

What's the Deal?

We're talking about a laser-focused walleye hunt in some of Lake Erie's most productive waters. In April, we're all about jigging in the Western Basin - that's where the fish are stacked up and ready to bite. As the season progresses, we follow the walleye migration, making sure you're always in the sweet spot. Our mobile setup means we can chase the bite wherever it leads us. You'll be using top-notch gear and benefiting from years of local knowledge. It's just you, a buddy, and your guide on a mission to put walleye in the boat.

Jigging for Giants

If you've never jigged for walleye before, you're in for a treat. It's a hands-on technique that'll keep you engaged all day. We'll be dropping jigs to the bottom and working them with a subtle lift-and-drop motion. It's all about feeling for that distinctive 'tap' when a walleye hits. We use a mix of soft plastics and live bait, depending on what the fish are keyed in on. The Western Basin is known for its rock piles and reefs, which are walleye magnets. We'll hop from spot to spot, using our electronics to find the schools and get you on the fish fast.

Target Species

Walleye are the stars of the show on Lake Erie, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are prized for both their fight and their flavor. In the spring, we're often targeting fish in the 2-5 pound range, but don't be surprised if you hook into a real tank. Lake Erie is famous for producing trophy walleye over 10 pounds. These fish are structure-oriented, hanging around rocky areas and drop-offs where baitfish congregate. The spring bite can be explosive, with fish aggressively feeding up after the winter. Walleye have a soft mouth, so setting the hook just right is key - we'll show you the ropes. The best part? There's nothing quite like the taste of fresh-caught walleye for dinner.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Lake Erie isn't called the "Walleye Capital of the World" for nothing. The sheer numbers of fish here make for consistent action, even on slower days. But it's not just about quantity - the quality of Erie's walleye is top-notch. The lake's ecosystem provides plenty of forage, allowing these fish to grow big and fat. Our half-day trips are perfect for both seasoned walleye nuts and first-timers. You'll learn techniques you can use anywhere walleye swim, and you might just catch the biggest fish of your life. Plus, there's something special about being out on Erie - the vastness of the lake, the chance to see a bald eagle, the camaraderie that comes from sharing a boat and a common goal.
