Lake Erie is one of the best fishing destinations in North America! A true trophy bass and walleye fishery. Lake Erie not only has fantastic bass and walleye fishing, it is home to big perch, steelhead and lake trout. The New York state record for lake trout, 41.5 lbs. came from Lake Erie off Dunkirk. The rich fertile waters of eastern Lake Erie produces an abundance of fish of large proportions. We fish May through October and into November as weather permits. There is no best season or month to fish Lake Erie, the fishing changes through the year from near shore to offshore depending on the species and the water temperature. Spring and fall yield some of the biggest bass but we catch big bass all season. The annual walleye migration bring large fish to the eastern basin looking for foreage and cooler water. It is a fact that the large fish from as far as the Detroit River swim to the eastern basin each summer. This concentration of true trophy fish make it the best place in North America to catch the biggest walleye of your life. I can not believe there is any better place to fish other than the eastern basin of Lake Erie.
Eastern Lake Erie not only has great fishing, some of the most magnificent sunrises and sunsets can be viewed from a boat on the water. We can explore the lakeshore to observe birds and the spectacular views. We can motor quietly up the Buffalo River for hidden views of the city most people never see. Early in the season we see many migrating water birds and occasionally bald eagles. Cruise along the Niagara River, Buffalo Harbor front or the lakeshore it doesn't matter, I believe you will be surprised and what you may see.
