Lake Erie, Ohio - Freshwater Fishing Report
Western Basin
Wet & windy, would be a pretty fair description of today's weather on Lake Erie. Needed your rain gear today for sure, but hey that's okay!
Left the dock around 8:00am and headed towards the American & Canadian border, fishing on the U.S. side. Waves were 1-3 feet from the SW, but it wouldn't be long and they would soon build to 3-5 feet. Plenty of oxygen in the water today.
Fishing was excellent! We caught over 45 Walleye in 4 hours of fishing and returned to the dock around 2:00pm with 36 'Gators. Weapons with a 1 oz. sinker on a 15 count & bouncers, 3 cranks off the bottom got 'er done.
Had 42 walleye in the same area on Friday. 3 long drifts, casting gold weapons turned out to be just the "ticket".
Tight lines....
