Lake Erie - Western Basin

[Fishing Report]

Walleye fishing has slowed down the last few days. The best areas were N of “B†and “C†cans of the Camp Perry range, NE of West Sister Island, and W of Middle Island. Drifters are using mayfly rigs or weight forward spinners, while most trollers are using worm harnesses or spoons with jet or dipsy divers. The best spoon colors have been patterns that include gold and purple or red.

Yellow perch fishing is improving in the western basin and should continue to improve as we head into fall. The best areas have been Little Cedar Pt., "B" and "C" cans off Camp Perry, SW of Kelleys Island, S of Rattlesnake Island, NW of Green Island, and NE of Ballast Island. Perch spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish.

White bass fishing has been excellent off of the Cedar Point breakwall and foghorn.
