Jigging has slowed in the western basin. The jiggers are still at it but not catching as many as expected. Trolling worm harnesses and spoons has been nearly as effective as jigging. Dirty water is also slowing things in the Camp Perry can areas. Walleye are also starting to show up on the east side [...]

Walleye Walleye are being caught nearly everywhere in the western basin. Reports are starting to come in that a few are being taken north of Kelly’s Island also. Jigging seems to be the best method right now but trollers are beginning to catch them in quantity also. The trick for the trollers seems to be [...]
The western basin water temperature has finally reached 5o degrees and the fish are becoming very active. Reports of limit catches on the reefs off Toussaint and Crane Creek continue to come in. In addition I’m receiving reports of walleye being caught on the reefs north of Kelly’s Island and perch being taken on the southeast [...]
The weekend fishing report is mixed. Some fishermen are reporting limit catches. Others are reporting catching just a few or no walleyes at all. Most of the positive reports were from the jiggers with one good report from a boat using worm harnesses. I believe water clarity has a lot to do with it. Those [...]
