Preparing for Your Fishing Trip on Lake Erie

Welcome back! I figured I would start this week’s blog with a little humor:

A: “How do you communicate with a fish?”

B: “I don’t know.”

A: “Drop it a line!”

That one never gets old! Hopefully you can understand the relevance of that joke as today I’m going to discuss how to prepare for your fishing charter trip on Lake Erie. Preparation includes the materials needed on the trip, what to wear and how to plan ahead!

What to Bring

Water

First and foremost make sure you pack water for those short fishing trips to the Fishing Charter at Lake Erie. In my experience of fishing, I have noticed that this is an item that people forget more often than not. Water is a necessity! Especially when you’re out on the water under the hot sun. For longer trips, bring a water purification system so you have plenty of clean water to drink! 

Food 

Depending on the length of the trip, a snack or two will do you good. I know the bright shining sun over Lake Erie soaks the energy out of even me sometimes! It’s good to have something to rejuvenate you.

     There are multiple different fishing methods, even when fishing for one kind of fish. These next materials that I recommend for you to bring are what have helped me and countless others catch the best walleye at Lake Erie Walleye Fishing Charter. 

     

     ü  Fishing Pole & Line

     Ok, Ok- these may sound obvious, but there are so many different ways to fish without a fishing line and pole that I had 

  ü  Bate

     The lanyard can hold anything you’ll need immediately while fishing that you cannot reach around your backpack to grab. For example clippers to cut the fish line. 

   

  ü  Sunglasses and hat 

     I mentioned the warm sun over Lake Erie earlier, so these are good options to keep it out of your eyes!

     Make sure you plan your trip to the Lake Erie Fishing Charter accordingly because you wouldn’t want to show up on a day of thunderstorms. Check the weather forecast a few times, get all of your gear together that I discussed earlier, and make sure you get your reservation in! A few pieces that I did not touch on, but that should be a given include a good knife (i.e. a Swiss army knife), health and safety materials (i.e. first aid kid).  If you have any questions about Lake Erie or Lake Erie fishing charters, please visit the Erie Drifter website.
