Explore Lake Erie with Buffalo Bass and Walleye. You’ll be fishing alongside Captain Alan, who has 30 years of experience navigating this lake and the Niagara River. He’ll show you a variety of fishing techniques, such as casting, trolling, and drifting, all with a hands-on approach. This all becomes an unforgettable experience when you’re the one setting the hook and landing a trophy fish. Learn something new and be proud of your catch.

You’ll be fishing on a 21’ Lung Pro-V boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. This aluminum boat is powered by a 225 HP Honda engine and a modern, state-of-the-art Minnkotta trolling engine. The boat has Lowrance sonar, VHF radio, and Hummingbird GPS and fishfinder.

Choose between a half or a full day trip and get your trophy. You can target Bass, Walleye, Perch, and Salmon in the lower part of the Niagara River. If you’re after Smallmouth Bass, it’s best to start in May. You’ll target Bass using live bait at the beginning of the seas and then switch to tube jigs and drop-shot techniques. When it comes to Walleye, you’ll start the season with jigging and proceed with slow trolling in the summer.

Your captain covers all rods reels, lures, and live bait. Your catch will be filleted and packaged. Don’t forget to bring your fishing license, snacks, and drinks. It’s recommended to dress in layers and also bring a cooler for your catch.

You’ll hardly find better fishing opportunities in the area. And with an experienced guide by your side, you can only learn a lot. Pick a date and join Buffalo Bass and Walleye!
