CHARTER FISHING ON LAKE ERIE, ERIE

"The advantages of booking a charter with a P.L.E.C.C.A. Captain"

Your PLECCA Captain is a professional, experienced person on the Great Lakes. He is United States Coast Guard licensed and is required by P.L.E.C.C.A. membership rules to meet all Federal and State Laws concerning equipment and safety standards for his passengers. The boat you will be fishing on is a sport fishing vessel, with quality equipment to help make your outing a success. With a mixture of the "big 4", Walleye, Salmon, Trout and Smallmouth Bass; Erie, PA is the place to be. T he fishing is good and the fish are bigger. It is much safer and less expensive to charter a well equipped charter boat then to invest in your own boat and equipment. You not only get a well equipped charter boat; you get a Captain whose expertise and experience will help assure a successful outing. Erie, PA has a unique fishery due to the depth of Lake Erie in our area. During Spring and early Summer all members of the "big 4" fish can b e caught in the same areas or close by. This is due to the water temperature and location of bait fish. As the water warms each species of fish find their preferred temperature zones. As this occurs, your P.L.E.C.C.A. Captain will seek out these areas for the species of fish you are angling for. Walleye fishing in our area is good due to the deeper waters. The Walleye are suspended in the upper layers of the lake. June through September is our Walleye season with average Walleye being 5 to 8 lbs. and a "hawg" of a Walleye isn’t uncommon in the 10 lb. + range. Though the Walleye are excellent table fare, they don’t posses the hard shaking strikes and heart stopping leaps of the Salmon/Trout or the stubbornness of a chunky Smallmouth Bass when hooked and fought. I’m sure if you give Lake Erie; Erie, PA a try with a P.L.E.C.C.A. Captain, you won’t be disappointed.
