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...

Captain Bob went above and beyond trying to put us on some fish. Eventually we were able to pull some in. Not the mother load but a great time just the same! My 9 year old is now hooked (yes pun intended) on walleye fishing. Thanks, BJ, Beth, and Gus

Sean was a super cool guy, really knows his stuff we caught our limit in August when other people were not. He has a very clean boat and nice equipment. Also does a heck of a job cleaning the fish for you. I highly recommend Sean.

Larry was a great guide - put us on top of lots of Walleye. We got our 30 fish limit in 4 hours. The boat - Walleye Magnet - was awesome and perfectly set up to catch tons of keepers.
