Lake Erie Sportfishing Class

??? **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.

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.

??? **An All-American Afternoon on Lake Erie!** ??? After dialing in a productive morning program, we headed back out for a 4-hour Independence Day afternoon charter with Rory and Glenda from Oklahoma along with Josh from Austin, Texas. With holiday boat traffic a little lighter than I expected for a Saturday holiday, I took a risk and found a spot between the beach and Kelly's Island. We started at the island and worked back towards the beach. It turned out to be beautiful July afternoon. The fish made us work for them, but once we got the spread tuned in, the action stayed steady and the crew got to experience exactly what Lake Erie walleye fishing is all about. The afternoon's best producers were BADMO LURES small Arrowhead blades on crawler harnesses behind Off Shore Tackle Company planer boards, running 40 to 60 feet back with 2-ounce weights. Silver-backed BADMO Arrowheads Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co. TruTrip 50s 22 to 26 back. Dipsey Divers set 26 to 36 pulling Rapala fire tiger J7s were as ? as the afternoon sunshine. The combination of good company, summer weather, and Lake Erie walleyes made for a memorable Fourth of July outing. Rory, Glenda, and Josh experienced a little bit of everything Lake Erie has to offer and finished the trip with a nice catch of fresh walleye. To complete their Lake Erie experience, they also headed home with some local favorite Bayside Provisions breading mix, giving them everything they needed to turn their catch into a fantastic fish fry.

Bill returned this year along with his fiancee Tina and her brother Gary to see what Lake Erie has to offer. This was a casting trip and we headed Northeast of the Shoals and set our drift in. The slight SW breeze. The drift was slow, but the fish were ready for action. Gary started us off with a nice Walleye on his first cast. We picked away until the sun was too much for the crew. We finished a few short of their limit with a requested early stop. To top it off, they headed home with fresh walleye and some local favorite Bayside Provisions Bayside Provisions breading mix to complete the Lake Erie experience. #BlackH2oDog #Blackh2odogcharters #LakeErieWalleye #WalleyeFishing #FishingCharter #LakeErieFishing #BigFishTuffTackle #cedarpoint #OhioFishing #GreatLakesFishing #WalleyeNation #BaysideProvisions #FishingLife #CharterFishing #CatchAndCook #LakeErieLife ????
