If you can get out due to the weather, the trollers are doing well off the south shore. Limits of trophy eyes are coming in to the docks. Both perch and walleye are being taken on shore. Activity will continue to be slow until ice season comes in.

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.

Fishing been just great , walleye from 2lbs to 8lbs are starting to show up. We are trolling stick baits and weights to get to the proper depth. I’m running trips till the end of November but I only have a very few days left.

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.

Perch have been good, live bait with spreaders work the best. If you can get erie spinners works best, but goodies will work. Nice catches have come in. Walleye is still being caught in the rocks around the islands, and the trolling is still working. It's going to pickup next month. Lastly, the bass are there, fishing 15 to 20 foot of water.

    Trip: Trophy Walleye

    We had a great time and caught our limit in walleye. Alex had the boat and fishing gear ready to go when got there and after a brief safety review we were on our way. As already mentioned, we caught our limit within a couple of hours. Then afterwards Alex directed us to where we could get our catch cleaned, which was also a big help because we were not that familiar with the area. Thanks again for a good time Alex.
