We worked our way North until a bit of the Lake Erie flu ?got to one. We had a constant action with a big mix of Walleye, Sheephead and Catfish. Since we had one of the crew down, we took shelter by the ?.

Family vacations to the Lake Erie Islands and a 4-hour afternoon Lake Erie Walleye Experience with BlackH2oDog Charters go hand in hand! With stronger east winds creating rougher conditions in the open lake, I opted to keep this group of first-time anglers in protected water. After an exciting trough ride from West Harbor to the west side of South Bass Island, we headed northwest and tucked in behind Rattlesnake Island for protection while setting our spread. The stage was set for a memorable afternoon on Lake Erie! ???

??? **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. Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co. TruTrip 50s pulling blue-and-white J7s Once the pattern came together, the walleyes cooperated and the young crew got exactly what they came for—a true Lake Erie fishing experience. 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. Thanks for spending part of your Independence Day weekend with BlackH2oDog Charters and making some memories on Lake Erie! ???? #BlackH2oDog #BlackH2oDogCharters #July4thFishing #IndependenceDay #FourthOfJuly #LakeErieWalleye #LakeErieFishing #WalleyeFishing #YouthFishing #NextGenerationAnglers #FamilyFishing #FishingCharter #OhioFishing #GreatLakesFishing #WalleyeNation #BADMOLures #OffShoreTackle #DipseyDivers #BigFishTuffTackle #CedarPointSportsCenter #SummerMemories #FishingLife #CatchAndCook #LakeErieLife #FutureAnglers #RedWhiteAndBlue ???☀️??
