Lake Erie Trips
Offered mid-May through mid-November
Lake Erie
Walleye Trip
Price: $400 / Day
(up to 3 guests)
Come fish the walleye capital of the world and take home some of the best freshwater table fare!
Slow trolling is my preference for multiple reasons, noting it’s a much better fight with the fish versus power trolling. However, I’m happy to accommodate your preference on the day… jigging, casting, drifting and power trolling are all an option.
The Ranger 619VS is perfectly suited for two passengers, but can accommodate a third.
Launch sites vary along the Pennsylvania shoreline… Walnut Creek, Lampe Marina, Shades Beach and North East are all in play.
These trips may last up to six hours. Ripple Effect does not book multiple trips on the same day, Your trip gets my full attention for the day.
Fish cleaning and bagging after the trip is an add on if you’d rather process the fish later or elsewhere. A cooler and ice are your responsibility.
Communication that the trip is a go, considering wind and weather, will be made the day/night prior. Cancelations by the captain may be made due to hazard and/or consideration for your comfort at any point. Deposits are refundable minus any service charges.

- Fishing
- Fish Cleaning

Lake Trout Trip

After the water cools off, lake trout come shallow to spawn on rock piles with voracious appetites! These fish that can exceed 30lbs are an incredible fight with jigs and blade baits on relatively light tackle.
