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 Services

See the services and fees page for up to date complete details

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

In addition, we offer day walleye, steelhead, and perch trips at customers' requests. During 2006, the day
walleye bite out of Cleveland was extraordinary.

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
Taxidermy Offer

"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.

Adrian's Taxidermy Studio:

Adrian's Taxidermy Studio offers a free driftwood wall plate for every walleye, steelhead, or perch caught
aboard FishCrazy Charters or if you mention FishCrazy Charters.
The Renosky Lures

During the fall season of 2006 we started using crank baits made by Renosky Lures. Some of the lures we
used were the
Mirror Image, Joe's Pirates Crystalina Series, and Fire-Glo. During the season, Joe Renosky
himself , fished with us twice. Once, for the night bite while we used Renosky's shallow divers, and once,
for the day bite while we used his deep divers. Both times we did real, real good. He also brought with him
a prototype stick bait,
"THE CHATTER STICK", this bait was phenomenal. These are baits made by a
fisherman for fishermen, I was so impressed with his lures that I decided to become a representative and
wholesale distributor of the Renosky  Lures. Retailers interested in purchasing these great lures can
contact me at the information provided on this page. Some samples of the Renosky Lures are provided on
the
