Independence Day Walleye

An Independence Day Lake Erie Adventure They'll Be Talking About All Summer! While their younger brother was competing in a baseball tournament at the Cedar Point C Sportsplex, this crew decided to start their July 4th celebration the best way possible—with an early morning Lake Erie Walleye Charter. The group included two 16-year-old boys, their slughtly older sister, and her boyfriend. As we pulled away from the dock, one of the boys asked, "Are we going to catch a fish?" I laughed and replied, "We'll catch more than one." That prediction came true in a hurry. We headed west of the islands toward the top of the firing range and found ourselves in non-stop action right from the start. For the first hour, rods were firing constantly with about a 10-to-1 ratio of Sheephead to Walleye, keeping everyone busy and entertained. The crew put their playlist on the stereo, turned up the music, and enjoyed a classic summer morning on Lake Erie. As the trip progressed, we kept making adjustments until we dialed in exactly what the fish wanted: small baits and plenty of silver. The winning spread included: ✅ BADMO LURES small Arrowhead blades on crawler harnesses behind Off Shore Tackle Company Off Shore planer boards, 40 to 60 feet back with 2-ounce guppy weights ✅ Silver-backed BADMO Arrowhead spoons on Dipsey Divers, 36 and 42 feet back ✅ Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co.

The action was so steady that we stayed busy and didn't take many photos, but sometimes that's a good problem to have. The best report came later from the parents, who let us know the kids had an absolute blast.
