The most productive fish spawning in the Great Lakes makes the Western Basin of Lake Erie well known for limit catches and trophy size fish. In fact, more than 80% of all walleye caught in Ohio’s Lake Erie water is harvested in the Western Basin. Many recreational fishermen, as well as charter boats do very well on the lake regularly. If you have your own boat or not, Lake Erie fishing is accessible to you!

Abundant catches of walleye, perch and smallmouth bass are possible any time of the year in the Western Basin of Lake Erie. Because fishing conditions on Lake Erie can change often due to water temperature, cloud cover, boat traffic and the amount of bait fish in the area, fishing with an experienced Mar-Lu charter captain and fishing guide will increase your chances of limit and trophy sized catches, especially if your new to the area.
