This is the way to go. Nothing to stress about or supply. Just have your license in order and show up on time for a great day. We three limited out on walleyes and Jamie and James, his mate and son, filleted everything up afterwards.

Book your trips after may. May was a bit early in the season. Definitely book with captain Dan and D&D rodfather. Would not recommend staying at the Cobblestone Hotel, location was the only good thing about it..

Pick a fish and go! The fishing here is great. The lake lives up to it's reputation of being one of the top lakes in the country for many species of fish. Being from out of town and not knowing much about Erie I have to say my expectations were exceeded in every way.

Fishing was a bit slow both days we went out. Once we found the "sweet spot", we were able to get several fish in the boat. We boated quality fish on several occasions. If you are looking for numbers I would recommend going in the fall per Capt. Mark Rose. I will personally come back in the spring during bed fishing. I found that to be a lot of fun when we managed to find a find a few still on the bed. I would recommend Capt Mark Rose to my family and friends on their next fishing trip to Erie!

Be ready for a truly off shore experience! My first time on a Great Lake and was totally in awe of its massive size!

If you go out with Capt Todd your arms will be very sore the next day. Non stop fish on. Best day of fishing in my life.

Be aware that the weather in July can be fickle. Unfortunately for our schedules the lake tells you when you can fish, but don't let that discourage you, the walleye are worth it!

Be patient, fish slowly and you will have great results. Definitely try to fish with an experienced captain like Mark Rose.

If you’re looking for smallmouth and have a boat, it couldn’t be better. If you’re targeting walleye, wait until June.

i think a psrty of three is sufficient for the boat we were on. four might be a bit crowded especially is the catching is on.

Fishing in Erie in May was great. We targeted lake trout, and as the weather warms up walleye should be great this summer.

Make sure you check weather conditions. Can change quick and doesn't always match the forecast.

The Walleye fishing is spectacular and a knowledgeable captain like Captain Dan is needed.
