- A wonderful day kayak fishing on Lake Erie unfolded with yellow perch and a walleye. I started the morning just a few hundred feet offshore, jigging with a Rapala Jigging Rap for yellow perch and found plenty. After catch and release, I headed offshore 2.5 miles to a water intake crib in search of walleye and smallmouth. Jigging above the structure in 50 feet of water didn't turn up any fish, so I made the decision to head towards shore as thunderstorms built to the southwest. On the way in, I trolled and picked up a 23" walleye with a Rapala Deep Tail Dancer at around 150 feet back, with a 2oz weight at 50 feet back. The rest of the day consisted of keeping 7 additional perch and the walleye. Thanks for joining me on this great kayak fishing adventure!

Nice joe 👍🏾
I sold my kayak after too many close encounters with speed boats on Lake St Clair. I had an incident where I checked the weather before I went and I checked multiple sources. Forecast was calling for light and variable winds. Lake was like glass when I went out. A front came through and I barely made it back to shore. Wind was so strong couldn't paddle back to the boat launch. Ended up going straight for shore and some lady let us use her back yard.
Yep, been there as well! A wind shift from south to north on Lake Erie caused a wall of "washing maching" water that I could hear coming towards me. 😳 it was a scary moment.
They would of been some good eating plus a walleye
Takes balls to go 2 1/2 miles off shore in that thing………storms can come up really fast on Lake Erie!
Yes they can. I do my best to plan ahead, watch the weather like a hawk, and head inshore if it looks like a change is approaching. I've been caught in a wind shift as it changed from southerly to northerly and it was like a wall of washing-machine water moving across the lake. It got scary real quick.
Great video! there's not a ton of guys making long form content kayak fishing on erie, would love to see a walk thru of your kayak
Thanks for the support. I am planning a walk through video. I'll put it out soon!
2.5 miles is 2.17 nautical miles and 4.2 miles per hour is 3.65 knots, for those who can't fathom using land units on water. Don't worry, just rattling your chain, good video, interesting equipment.
Fathom! Pun intended? 😉 thanks!
Went in last weekend in lake st clair and was not happy 🤦🤣 drysuit in my future
It's an investment, but totally worth it in the long run. :)
Love to see the yak fishing. Curious what jigging rap are you using? I'd like to get a few of those for fishing off my yak this summer.
Trevor, the ones I use in the video are the Rapala jigging rap 7/8oz in perch and silver.
