Lake St. Clair's Ultimate Walleye Trolling Trip

Ready to chase some monster Walleye on Lake St. Clair? Our 4-hour trolling adventure is your ticket to non-stop action and the chance to land that trophy catch you've been dreaming about. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the game, Captain Eric's got you covered with top-notch gear and insider knowledge of the lake's most productive fishing grounds. Grab your spot on the boat and get ready for a day of reeling in some serious Walleye!

What to Expect on the Water

This isn't your average fishing trip. We're talking about 4 hours of pure Walleye pursuit on one of the best lakes in the region. You'll be cruising on a fully-equipped boat, decked out with Cisco rod mounts and Shimano Tekota reels - the good stuff that serious anglers swear by. And forget about wrestling with a clunky old trolling motor. We use a state-of-the-art I-Pilot linked wireless system that lets us cover more water and stay on the fish. With a max of 3 guests per trip, you'll have plenty of elbow room and personal attention from the captain. No need to pack a lunch for this one, but feel free to bring some snacks and drinks to keep you fueled up for the fight.

Trolling Tips & Tactics

If you're new to trolling, you're in for a treat. This technique is all about covering water and presenting your bait to actively feeding Walleye. We'll be using a combination of the main motor and a kicker motor to maintain the perfect speed, usually between 1-3 mph. The Cisco rod mounts are a game-changer, allowing us to spread lines out wide and cover more area. We'll be running a mix of crankbaits, spinners, and maybe even some live bait rigs, depending on what the Walleye are biting that day. Captain Eric will show you the ropes on reading the fish finder, setting the proper depth, and the all-important "rip and pause" technique that can trigger strikes from those big, lazy Walleye. By the end of the trip, you'll be a trolling pro!

What Anglers Are Saying

"Captain Eric was absolutely amazing and accommodating to my husband and me, along with two friends visiting from Tucson, AZ. For the three of us, it was our first time fishing on a big lake, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. Eric's experience and knowledge made all the difference, and we learned so much throughout the trip. We took home plenty of delicious Walleye, while my husband reeled in a huge Catfish, which we released to fight another day. Our friends were truly impressed by Eric's expertise, patience, and willingness to share his skills. His boat and fishing gear were top-notch, and he was fully prepared to make our trip a success. We had an incredible time and will definitely return. Thank you, Captain Eric, for an unforgettable experience and the best-tasting fish ever!" - John

Why Walleye are Worth Chasing

Walleye are the crown jewel of Lake St. Clair, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are known for their hard fights and even better taste on the dinner table. Walleye in Lake St. Clair can grow to impressive sizes, with trophy fish pushing 10 pounds or more. They're crafty creatures, often hanging out near underwater structure or in deeper, cooler water during the day. This is where our trolling tactics really shine, allowing us to present baits right in their feeding zone.

One of the coolest things about Walleye is their behavior changes throughout the year. In spring, they'll be in shallower water, often chasing baitfish near shorelines and river mouths. As summer heats up, they'll move to deeper, cooler areas, and that's when our deep-water trolling really pays off. Fall can be absolutely on fire, with Walleye feeding aggressively to fatten up for winter.

Walleye have a reputation for being finnicky, but that's what makes catching them so rewarding. When you hook into a big one, you'll feel that distinctive head shake and powerful runs. And let's not forget the "Walleye chop" - that slightly rough water condition that seems to get these fish feeding like crazy. It's all part of the Walleye addiction that keeps anglers coming back year after year.
