When you look up walleye fishing guides, take into consideration where you want to go; many guides are available from Ohio, and this could be the easiest way for you to get out on Lake Erie. Depending on the season, these guides 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. Fishing guides 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 guides 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.

Other locations where walleye fishing guides might launch in Ohio include Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Conneaut, Cleveland, and Eastlake. Some of these areas even offer night fishing trips, targeting the fish during their most active feeding hours. After all, walleye are not accustomed to a lot of light and tend to appear during darker hours or remain in deeper or murkier waters.
