Hi David,
I'm just getting back from about a month in the mountains of Colorado, so only a couple days on the water since my return.
Right now the focus in pa waters of Lake Erie are primarily smallmouth and lake trout in shallow with some walleye mixed in.
More to follow as I get more information, but there are some good fish around.

Great week for both walleye, perch, and weather. The shinners are really available at the bait shops and nice size perch limits are coming in right now. A good bite around the islands, try not to get into a pack of boats, just fish outside them by yourself. The walleye...

Great week for both walleye, perch, and weather. The shinners are really available at the bait shops and nice size perch limits are coming in right now. A good bite around the islands, try not to get into a pack of boats, just fish outside them by yourself. The walleye are heating up on the rocks and deep water. Working the walleye rigs in the rocks are producing. Trolling stick baits with diapers. Truetrips and lead in 35 to 45 foot of water are producing large walleye right now. The ten day forecast looks good for fishable weather .

We've been running out to 65 feet of water and setting lines for the walleye that have been lying in the colder water near the bottom. Dipsy's with spoons and Down riggers with crank baits have been talking most of the fish. Speed has been 2.5 mph, but some colder water has blown in so we slowed down a bit with great results. Now is a perfect time to book a trip for some trophy walleye or just fill the freezer.

Lake erie fishing report, 9/26. Due to high winds the boats won't see any fishing activity until Thursday. Water temperature is starting to drop and the perch are starting to hit in 12 to 25 foot. Smallmouth gong strong around the islands and Canadian waters. Soon craws will be gone and large minnows will work.
Walleye in the shallows are still producing. Trolleys are catching east of Kelley's Island to the sand bar. Anglers are starting to switch back to body baits.
