In the coming years, you can expect the average Walleye size to be between 18" and 24". Your adventure will take you to both open waters and the hidden reef structures in shallow and deep waters.

No Charter service I’ve ever hired did that before.”- Greg E. About me:It all started with my dad. My best memories involved waking up early, being down to the docks to catch the sun rise, heading out past the Lake Erie Islands and spending the day together chasing walleye. Now I love helping other people create those memories with their own family and friends.- Captain David Faller

Family Walleye 

Started of the morning in a still foggy misty morning.  Picked up David and Samantha along with David and Deanna, David's parents.

After a quick stop for an island photo we set lines West of the Bass Islands.

We started quickly with 2, then 4 and our bite turned into a slow pick.  High  baits would go followed by a deep bait.  One @ 2.3 mph then one @ 1.6.  Hard to established a pattern so we worked what we had.  We eventually settled into Bandits 50 to 80 back with Bill Lewis PWC at 50 back.  The TruTrip 50s 35 back also came to life today.

These first time Lake Erie anglers pushed through the tough times and learned to run the Off Shore Tackle Company planner boards.
