Lake Erie is widely known as the walleye fishing capital of the world, with an estimated 180 million walleye swimming its waters today. Stretching 241 miles from west to east, Lake Erie’s western basin—home to Port Clinton, Sandusky, and Huron, Ohio—offers some of the best Lake Erie fishing charter opportunities anywhere in the Great Lakes.
The western basin’s shallow structure, averaging around 30 feet deep, creates ideal habitat for walleye, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch. This area includes the famous Bass Islands, Put‑in‑Bay, and the western basin reef complex—prime locations that consistently produce exceptional catches. Because the water is shallow and full of structure, anglers enjoy excellent drift‑fishing conditions, casting light spinners with the rod in hand, a favorite technique among seasoned Lake Erie fishermen.
Lake Erie produces more walleye than all the other Great Lakes combined, attracting anglers from across the country and around the world. Port Clinton’s Lake Erie fishing charters are renowned for daily limits of walleye, trophy‑class fish, and consistent action throughout the season. The region’s charter fleet, lodging, restaurants, and local businesses all thrive thanks to Lake Erie’s incredible fishery.
