Ready for a Lake Erie Walleye Fishing Experience? Capt Jonathan has you covered on an adventure of a lifetime with a local expert that knows the waters inside and out. Catch numbers of tasty Walleye on this fishing trip perfect for friends and family!

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Walleye, and plenty more.

On these trips, it's common to troll using light or heavy tackle.

Trips with Capt Jonathan Polanco are kid-friendly, so get 'em offline and onto the water! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Capt. Capt Jonathan welcomes you aboard a 22' Bay boat with space for 4 passengers. It comes with a fighting chair, everything you need for a productive day on the water.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

You might need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with Capt Jonathan Polanco!

    NO SHOW by Lake Erie Walleye Fishing Trips

    2-Hour Fishing Trip - 2:00 PM on August 15, 2026 • 2 adults

    We scheduled a two hour walleye fishing trip with Capt. Jonathan Palanco. We arrived 30 minutes early to prepare for the trip at Port Erie Sports. Fishing Booker site indicated that Capt. Palanco was out on the lake. We waited 1.5 hours for him and he failed to show. I even spoke with the employees at Port Erie Sports who knew him and they stated he wasn’t there. One employee even attempted to call him on his personal cell phone but no answer. I called the phone number listed on Fishing Booker for him but no answer and I left two messages. Capt. Jonathan Polanco had my cell phone number but never called me. I was using the message board on Fishing Booker which is supposedly connected to him asking were he was and that we were here at Boat & Jetski rental shop waiting for him. No response from him. Later on, i received messages stating he was there waiting and then left. He was not there!!! I was constantly looking for him. My wife and I were highly disappointed by this experience and would not recommend him or Fishing Booker site to anyone!!!!

    Good, but could have been better

    7-Hour Fishing Trip on August 15, 2026 • 3 adults

    Booked 7-hour walleye trip for 8/15 in July. Owner called and said Captain Jonathan had a "family emergency" for that morning(several weeks in advance) and could I go later in the day. I agreed, but then got a substitute captain with a different boat more suited for bass fishing (only 1 real seat besides the captain's and all open with no railing). Then, when lake started to get choppy, we had to go in. Would have been nice if he offered a discount for all of this. Captain was very nice, and we caught 7 walleye between 3 people, but ended up with less than 2lbs of fish fillets. not sure what happened there. Don't think I would book with these guys again.
