Lake Erie Waterfowl Hunting Guide
We run a fleet of boats, and employ 3 full time guides that are on the water constantly. We scout from Muemee bay in Toledo Ohio to Cleveland daily. We work very hard at putting in the miles to insure the highest quality opportunity waterfowl hunts on Lake Erie for our clients.
Breakfast is always included, fully licensed and insured!
The Lake Erie Island and Maumee Bay regions have a very deep history in waterfowl hunting. This region sits right in the middle of the Mississippi and Atlantic flyways making it a prime area for many ducks to rest on the migration south. The oldest still operating duck hunting club in existence (Winous Point Shooting Club) is located just east of Toledo on the Sandusky Bay.
In September, early teal and goose season opens up for two weeks to allow hunting of the early migrating blue wing teal and resident Canada geese.
In October, big duck season opens up where you can very likely take a mixed bag of mallards, gadwall, teal, wood duck, wigeon and pintails. Diver duck hunting trips on the open water can be be some of the most exciting trips.
Give us a call today to check for availability for our Lake Erie layout hunting trip and Lake Erie Shoreline hunting trip.
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH OUR WATERFOWL HUNTS?
We will be hunting out of our 25’ duckwater boat with a full blind. We have heaters plumbed as well as a cook stove for a nice breakfast weather permitting.
On a normal day, we will meet you at the ramp around 5am, exact time and location will be conveyed the day prior as it changes often for wind, and where we found birds the night before. We will get you loaded up, and we will head out. Some locations we hunt may be rock walls on the shores of lake Erie or we may go off shore to an island complex up to 15 miles offshore.
Lake conditions can become rough, if you have ever experienced sea sickness before then i would recommend taking some Dramamine prior. We may take spray in the choppy conditions on our way out, but do not worry as just like the birds we will be hunting on the lee side of an island or break-wall in the calm water.
We will hunt until we limit out or 12:00, at which point we will pack up. Return back to the dock and unload you. While you guys head back to get some lunch we will be heading back out to scout for the next morning's hunt.
