Water Conditions: Rough

The weekend is looking a little rough on Lake Erie with thunder storms being called for both Saturday and Sunday. With that being said walleye fishing continues to be good when anglers can get out on the water. Fishing deeper in the 65-72FOW seems to be the ticket. Most anglers are using divers and spoons since it is a very easy rig to get your limit. Good luck to every one that is fishing this weekend and remember to check the weather conditions before going out. TIGHT LINES !

Going into the weekend nothing much has changed. Erie continues to produce great numbers of walleye. Most of the fish being from 18-20 inches which are perfect table fair. The bulk of the fish continue to be out in 55-60FOW. There are two main places that anglers are fishing. First one being north of Walnut marina and the second being off the point of the peninsula. Purples and chartreuses in stick baits and spoons are currently doing well with most anglers either running them behind divers or riggers. Good luck to every one going out this weekend. TIGHT LINES!

As of this morning The National Weather Service issued a small craft advisory for Erie. Once the lake calms down in the next couple days nothing really has changed.

Over the next week some of the days look more favorable then others. The National Weather forecast can always change so look the day before or the day of. Checking the buoy off walnut is also a great tool to check the waves considering its in 40FOW off Walnut. Walleye fishing continues to be amazing when the weather allows. Anglers are still finding fish off Walnut and the point in 55-65FOW. Some anglers are starting to pick Steelhead up in deeper water out in the abyss. Just continue to be safe with the string of accidents that has accrued on the lake the last couple weeks with rescues. Good luck to every one going out. TIGHT LINES!
