Hooked Up on Lake Erie

Jun 28, 2025 Dunkirk

Last week’s trip on Lake Erie was excellent! I had the pleasure of taking a great group of clients out for a full day of walleye fishing, and the lake absolutely delivered. We ended the day with 28 walleyes in the cooler. Everyone on the boat got in on the fun—plenty of laughs, bent rods, and a cooler full of quality eaters. It was one of those days where the lake treated us right and the fish kept coming—exactly the kind of trip we all hope for. Looking forward to more days like this as the summer bite continues to heat up!

Matt was great, really down to earth and knowledgeable 👍🏽 Even though the weather men lied and we had an awful fight with the waves. Matt did everything he could to put a few in the boat! If you go make sure you bring a tip! It will be worth it!
