Fishing Reports

We are in desperate need of rain here in Erie for the tributaries. Steelhead fishing has been on the rougher side because of that. People are catching fish but its at first or last light most of the time. Continue to check the weather for rain in the future and where it falls to impact the streams. Good luck to every one going out and be safe. TIGHT LINES !

Fall is finally here! Which brings a ton of fishing opportunity to our area. Steelhead fishing is just starting to pick up with many anglers already finding fish off the beaches in the morning and evening. Best lures to target these fish would be spoons or spinners. NY is in full swing with salmon season almost every Lake Ontario tributary having fish in them. There is a short fall bite also for smallmouth bass out in the main lake that many anglers will take advantage of. Good luck to every one going out and be safe. TIGHT LINES.

Over the next few weeks we are going to see a seasonal switch. If you are a walleye fisherman, fish in the Ohio area will push back in shallow at night time so you can troll for them or cast. Here in PA anglers will start to cast off shore again and do some shallow water trolling. NY and Michigan are in full swing with King Salmon. This will get better over the next couple weeks, after that Steelhead will follow also. Here in PA anglers are catching some steelhead first thing in the morning and in the evening on spoons and spinners. Good luck to every one going out and be safe. TIGHT LINES.

Walleye reports have been starting to slow down. The season is starting to come to an end. Anglers are still going out and finding fish but they are scattered slightly, 65-75FOW still is the ticket. Steelhead are starting to show up in the mornings and evenings in front of tribs. Anglers are having success with spoons and spinners. NY salmon season is in full swing in some tribs and just starting in others. The next 3 weeks in NY will be prime salmon fishing, followed by steelhead. Good luck to every one going out this weekend and be safe. TIGHT LINES!

Hope every one is having a good holiday weekend. The last few days has been rough on Lake Erie. Fish are still out deep in the 72+FOW. Some anglers are starting to pick steelhead up at the mouths of the creeks on spoons and spinners. This can only get better the cold temps we continue to get. The salmon run has begun in the most eastern NY trib. Fish are in some of the river systems and anglers are taking advantage of that. Good luck to every one going out this week and be safe. TIGHT LINES!

Over the weekend we had some weather that caused rough conditions on the lake. Over the next couple days the same weather could happen, Nation Weather Service is calling for it. Just be careful going out and check the weather first with the buoy or a weather app. Anglers are still getting walleye out deep, reports have been on the slower side. On the eastside very good reports of lake trout fishing have been going on if you get bored with walleye. Good luck to every one and be safe out on the lake. TIGHT LINES!

Over the weekend Lake Erie was not fishable for most of it, with storms blowing through for most of the weekend. Some anglers got out in-between storms and did alright. Today with storms coming through again and waves possibly reaching 4-7ft its not likely anglers will be out. Fishing when you can get out is still good, with most of the fish coming from 62-72FOW. Nothing bait wise has changed, divers continue to be the easiest way to reach these fish with down riggers becoming the second easiest way. Good luck to every one going out this week and be sure to check the weather before going out. TIGHT LINES !

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 !

Today and Saturday morning are looking good for fishing with the weather calling for 1ft or less. Remember this can change in the morning so its best to check the buoy off Walnut just to be safe. The last few days anglers have stated that fish seem to be more scattered around. Also most people are going deeper and its taking longer to limit. Good luck to every one going out this weekend and be safe. TIGHT LINES !

Over the weekend Saturday was not fishable to most anglers with how rough it was. Most people did get out Sundays, with the general report being good. The consistent thing in the report was most anglers were deeper than usual, with reports in the 72+ FOW. Good luck to every one going out this week and be safe. TIGHT LINES!
