What makes night walleye fishing in Cleveland different
No need to spend a fortune!

No need to plan on taking time off from work, and major adjustments to your schedule! You get on the fishing boat at 5:
00pm, and you can be back in time for a good night of sleep to be able to go back to work in the morning. And if your
only visiting Cleveland, you can always add a walleye night or evening fishing trip to your plans.

Night time fishing for walleye in Cleveland is a special experience and it gives you the best opportunity to catch your
trophy walleye.

You're only minutes from the Cleveland shores, therefore you spend most of your time fishing for Walleye.
What to expect when night walleye fishing in Cleveland
My main priority is to get walleye on your lines, and we catch well over 1000 walleye per fishing season!
The evening trips are scheduled from 5:00pm to 11:00, the night trips from 11:30pm to 5:00am upon
request. You will be fishing in a 23' Hydra Sport WA equipped with 200hp 2-stroke Johnson, 15hp
4-stroke Yamaha kicker, Raymarine auto pilot, Furuno Fish-finder, and Garmain GPS. I supply all
professional gear and lures. To me fishing for walleye is about fun and a good time. I've been trolling for
walleye at night since 2000. Before that, I was casting off the rocks since 1996. The last 10 years of
fishing for walleye at night from Cleveland to Huron, and fishing with crank baits 150 times a year helped
me develop an excellent knowledge and understanding about how walleye behave, walleye seasonal
patterns, and a walleye trolling system that works extremely well. Although my main port is Cleveland,
throughout the season I follow the walleye from Cleveland to Huron. At times I will run a trip from
Vermilion or Lorain when the walleye are more active in that area.

Our main specialty is evening and night walleye fishing trips throughout spring and fall. We will be
trolling using in-line boards and crank baits.

In addition, we offer day walleye, steelhead, and perch trips at customers' requests.

Spring night bite walleye fishing Season

Spring night bite walleye fishing season starts beginning of April through end of June. The walleyes
we're getting in the spring are post-spawn, after they dropped their eggs. The night walleye bite this
time of year can be vicious with multiple hook-ups at one time. Cleveland area rarely offers the
possibility for the post-spawn walleye bite due to extreme cold waters and ice-floats, but whenever
it will be possible and safe we will schedule trips during the period.

Fall night bite walleye fishing Season

Fall night bite walleye fishing season starts middle to late October until late December early
January. In the fall, the walleye follow the bait fish near shore and their main priority is to feed and
get fat for the winter months. By middle to late December they have been eating heavy for almost
two months and are at their largest size of the year. Also the partially developed eggs in the female
walleye gives them a humongous girth with 26" to 28" walleyes well over 9 to 10 pounds, 28" to 30"
walleyes well into the 11 and 12 pound range, and anything over 30" can end up to be a personal
trophy walleye record that would be hard to beat. After middle of December is the best time for real
trophy walleyes. For every trophy walleye you catch aboard FishCrazy Charters See the

"Summer walleye, steelhead and perch Season"

At customers' requests we offer walleye, steelhead and perch day trips that can start as early as
April and can go through December. The summer of 2006 was excellent walleye ans steelhead
fishing right out of Cleveland. During Spring and Fall when the perch and walleye congregate in the
same areas, we offer combo trips that include fishing for perch from 2:00pm to 6:00pm, then trolling
for walleyes until 11:00pm. This is a good opportunity to experience both type of fishing in the same
day, with a good chance of limits for both, and while perching, big walleyes are caught often.
Throughout the summer walleye and steelhead are often found in the same areas, providing the
opportunity to catch walleye and steelhead during the same fishing trip. Ohio record walleye was
caught while perch fishing two miles in front of E 72nd, Cleveland, in November 1999, 16lbs 3oz.
