Trip Information
Spring (March - May)
Fishing the central/western basin of Lake Erie typically from Lorain to Port Clinton.
Walleyes congregate in the western basin of Lake Erie to spawn before starting their annual migration back
east. This high concentration of walleyes in the western basin during this time provides outstanding fishing for both numbers of fish and also typically produces the heaviest fish of the year. Trophy fish in the 10-14lb range are possible during this time, by trolling crankbaits and planar boards, with the peak time for trophy fish is from ice out until mid-April. Starting in early April the smaller male walleyes concentrate on shallow reefs and shorelines providing fantastic jig fishing opportunities. Peak jig fishing usually occurs the last 3 weeks of April.

Fishing out of Geneva State Park Marina aboard Signature Charter's Ranger 622FS Pro

of Geneva until the end of September when they start migrating back west. Great fishing is to be had all
summer. Fishing starts off trolling mostly inline planar boards with crankbaits or harnesses and
transitions to dipsy divers and wire line with crankbaits as the fish move further off shore and deeper in
the water column.

October – December
Fishing from Cleveland, OH to Huron out of a Ranger 622 FS Pro
During October the walleye are heading back west. Fishing primarily involves trolling crankbaits and in-
line planar boards. The walleyes get heavier in weight as the season progresses with chances of catching a trophy over 10lbs increasing the later in the year we fish. Trips are offered for the popular Walleye Fall Brawl.
These trips target large walleyes and do not stop once the limit has been reached.

Forward Facing Sonar (FFS) Trips
Forward facing sonar is the latest technology revolutionizing fishing. It allows anglers to target individual fish with rod in hand using jigging techniques to coax the fish into biting while watching the fish react to the bait on live sonar. Two Lowrance Active Targets are supplied for these trips with the captain instructing on how to use, read and catch fish using FFS.
1-2 people $450
Fall Steelhead October - December
Steelhead are a blast to catch as they're known for their fast runs and acrobatic jumps. In the fall steelhead congregate in the harbors as they prepare to spawn in the Lake Erie Tributaries. Trips will be from either Conneaut or Ashtabula harbors depending on which presents the best fishing opportunity for that day.
1-2 people $350 3 people $450
