Walleye Fishing
in Lake Eerie - What Locations are Best on the Lake?
Walleye fishing in Lake Erie is good in the spring, summer
and fall months. Although 2007 was a slow fishing year for
walleye, many anglers are predicting a good year for fishing
walleye on Lake Erie. For the months of April and May, you
can do some great fishing at night around the tributaries.
If you can find an open shoreline, this will be a good place
to catch the walleye in early May. You can use 5 Rapala
Husky Jerk with a chartreuse color at night. Another color
to try is the rainbow trout. If you want a good area for
night fishing, try the area by Walnut Creek. Do not use any
form of light, it is entirely a dark fishing area.
You will find that in spring months of April and May, the
walleye are in the shallow waters of Ohio. They do not move
over to the New York side to deeper waters until the water
temperature starts getting warm. If you are around the
Dunkirk are, you are going to fish very deep for a walleye.
The surface temperature |
of the water is
usually around seventy-five plus degrees. That is just to
warm for walleye. They move into the depths of the water.
Another good place to fish for walleye in Ohio is the
shipping channel of Toledo. The latest activity on the
channel should mean that walleye fishing is going to be at
its best this year. Trolling these waters will make for some
good catches.
The best areas of Lake Erie that have a good walleye
population are the central and Western Basins. Every angler
will tell you that Lake Erie walleye fishing is the best
between April and August. However, these are the prime times
for walleye fishing. You can fish all the way through
November and still have a good catch.
If last years fishing reports are a guide for this year, the
best place to fish walleye this year will be in the Central
Basin just east of the Chagrin River. You will be able to
fish in waters of about twenty to fifty-two feet of water.
Fishing in these waters should be good between May and June.
Use a scorpion spoon with a twenty-foot jet diver with a
worm harness and leads ranging from fifty to ninety feet.
Keep in mind that most of the trophy walleye are caught off
a planer board.
In the Western Basin, you can catch your fair share of
walleye by Bolles Harbor and Luna Pier. The spawning months
will find many walleyes in the Western Basin by the shore
and by the reefs. The walleye become more aggressive during
the end of May into June and July. Another good area is the
Kellys Island area. The water is deep in most areas and the
walleye are found in thirty-six to forty-two feet of water.
|
If you move a few miles north of the island, to Kellys
Island Shoal, Middle Passage Reef and Gulf Island Shoal, you
will walleye by trolling with a crankbait. Planer boards are
usually used in these areas because the water is so clear
and the walleye will spook easily because of the boat
sighting.
