Fishing in Lakeside Marblehead
Lakeside Marblehead, located at the tip of Ohio’s Marblehead Peninsula, is proof that great things come in small packages! Measuring in at just 5 square miles, this is one of the best starting points for fishing Lake Erie. The vast majority of Lakeside Marblehead fishing charters are located just a stone’s throw from the lake’s hottest fishing grounds, and will have you casting off within minutes!
What type of fishing charter is best for me?
Lakeside Marblehead provides direct access to Lake Erie’s Western Basin. The waters here are seriously shallow, with an average depth of 25 feet, and are home to some world-famous fish. Walleye and Yellow Perch call these waters home, and Smallmouth Bass often make an appearance, too. It’s common for captains to advertise separate trips for each species, but mixed bag trips are also an option!
If you’re a newer angler who wants some tasty table fare, most captains recommend Yellow Perch trips. These species are fun to catch, and even better to eat – in fact, they’re regularly billed as Lake Erie’s tastiest fish. Longer trips will see you heading out to the waters around Lake Erie’s islands, whereas shorter ones will see you exploring the shallow waters near the shoreline.
If you’re an experienced angler looking to hook your trophy catch, Lake Erie is known as the Walleye capital of the world. The Western Basin is one of the best spots to hook them, all season long. You’ll troll or drift fish from the shoreline to the Western Basin’s islands. These techniques can require “off-duty time” as you wait for the fish to bite, making them perfect for more experienced anglers.
What to Bring
Fishing charters in Lakeside Marblehead will usually provide most of what you need for your adventure out on the lake, including fishing gear, lures, and bait. Bring along:
- A fishing license. Guests age 16 and above will need to buy a license from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Generally, it’s better to do this online. You can buy your license from one of the area’s numerous tackle shops, but most marinas do not stock them.
- Snacks and drinks. Most charters provide ice and water, so feel free to bring along your favorite soft drinks.
- Weather-appropriate clothing. Captains recommend bringing a warm jacket year-round, especially if you’re targeting the night bite!
- Sea-sickness medication. Waters can be rough here, especially in the shallows close to the shoreline, as the waves build very quickly.
When to Visit
For newer anglers and families who want to hook Yellow Perch, late summer and early fall are when the bite is hottest – this perfectly coincides with school vacation time, too! For Walleye enthusiasts, June and July are particularly fruitful months.
Although Walleye are seriously tasty, each angler can usually only keep up to 4 of them, measuring 15 inches or more. Please discuss this further with your captain, as it is subject to change.
Lakeside Marblehead fishing charters are perfect for anglers of all ages and skill levels who want to experience the incredible scenery and fishing grounds of Lake Erie’s Western Basin. Come discover it for yourself!
