When you look up walleye fishing charters, you'll find that the industry is concentrated in the northern part of the North American continent, especially around the Great Lakes. You'll probably also notice that, of all the lakes in the north, the best place to find walleye, and therefore the top location for fishing charters, is Lake Erie. Anglers adore Lake Erie because they know they'll find a great catch of walleye here, and most charters are owned and operated by anglers, so these guys want to be where the fish are. After all, that's how they make money - they take you to where the fish are!

The best thing about walleye charters is that they know the migration patterns of the walleye and can follow them as the seasons change and progress to the next well known location to reel in the walleye. There are several locations from which charters leave for every area of Lake Erie, so be sure to check out a complete list so that you know the nearest location by season.

Another great reason to hire a charter is guaranteed catch. You can sit out on Lake Erie all day long and never catch a single bite. However, if you hire a charter, these individuals are out on the lake every day and know the exact spots where the fish were biting just the day before, as well as where they are expected to migrate to next. There is no wasted time carrying around a sonar to locate fish, and there's no disappointment involved when you follow last year's list of hotspots and find them dry.

When you look at charters, take into consideration where you want to go; many charters are available from Ohio, and this could be the easiest way for you to get out on Lake Erie. Depending on the season, these charters will launch from different sites and take you to different areas of the lake. For example, in April, you'll want to find yourself heading out from Port Clinton, Ohio, set on drift and casting or trolling for walleye. The Charters will know where the walleye have been spawning and where they'll be resting at this point in the season. However, during mid summer, more charters switch to an excursion around Lorain and Ashtabula, Ohio, looking at deeper waters and trolling for walleye trophies. While casting and trolling are still the methods of choice, the starting point changes again in late fall to early winter, moving to areas like Vermilion, Ohio.
