Full-Day Lake Erie Walleye and Trout Charter Aboard My Sara

My Sara Lake Erie Fishing Charter runs a full-day chase of big walleye and lake trout on the broad, restless surface of Lake Erie. Meeting at 5 State Street Erie, PA 16507, anglers climb aboard a 36’ Sportcraft Pesca built for performance and fishing comfort. The boat’s 15-foot beam gives a stable platform, and twin Mercury 454 inboards get you to productive structure fast. Advanced Raymarine radar and autopilot help the captain hold exact positions over reefs and mudflats, while Muddy Creek rod holders and downriggers keep lines fishing cleanly. Lake Erie is the shallowest of the Great Lakes, and that geometry creates quick, nutrient-rich upwelling that feeds extraordinary walleye and lake trout runs. On a My Sara trip you’ll fish the edges of submerged reefs, drop lines to deeper basins, and watch for birds breaking on bait—small signals that mean serious action beneath the surface. The crew will dial in drift patterns, downrigger depths, and lure presentations whether you’re casting for the first time or chasing trophy fish. The boat’s interior feels more like a small yacht than a drift skiff: cozy cabin, private restroom, Fusion stereo, and plenty of dry storage. The trip is capped at six guests for a hands-on experience, and charters run up to eight hours or until the fish limit is reached. Expect a full morning and afternoon of active fishing punctuated by on-deck instruction, gear adjustments, and the adrenaline of a double-header. Practical details matter: Pennsylvania fishing license with a Lake Erie Stamp is required for all anglers; a trout/salmon permit is necessary when targeting lake trout and steelhead. The crew stocks premium tackle, but bringing a favorite rod and gear is welcome. Alcohol is permitted but glass is not; be responsible and keep safety first. Why pick My Sara? It’s the combination of a high-performance boat, modern electronics, and a seasoned crew focused on putting anglers on fish in Erie’s complex nearshore. For visitors staying in Erie, the trip offers an intimate way to read the lake’s cues, land memorable fish, and learn methods that translate to future trips here or back home. Whether you want the photo of a trophy walleye, a family’s first catch, or an instructional day with heavy tackle, this charter translates Lake Erie’s productivity into an accessible, action-packed day on the water. Booking details are straightforward: meet at the Erie dock, group size is limited to six, and trips depart early to exploit low-light feeding windows. Expect cast-and-release guidance, help landing big fish, and on-deck cleaning advice for keepers. Bring layered clothing, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, snacks, and patience—the lake can flip from glassy calm to choppy in an hour, and the best fishing often follows a weather swing.
