Western Lake Erie Fishing Reports (JULY 2010)

Post your July 2010 fishing reports here for Western Lake Erie.

Report at Dick's said NE of w. Sister for walleye and second can from Harbor light for perch. Niether one produced. Caught one eye NW of W. sister in 30 fow and 8 decent perch at the can.

Perch were at Lucy's point today. We only caught 15 before going smallmouth fishing but saw some others leaving with their limit. Boats were really packed in tight.

Wife and I caught limit 1.5 mi North of Water intake in 22.5 fow. Fished from 2pm to 4pm. Silver bladed spreaders. Non stop action for 2 hours. Had 15# at cleaners. Only threw back maybe a dozen or so. 5 sheephead and 2 white perch. Excellent afternoon.

Walleye are concentrated aroung G can yes I said G!! Found good perch bite out by C-Can caught nice 8's with some 9's and 10's yesterday limit.

What where you using to catch your walleyes ?? Casting ? trolling ? I will be up in two weeks Going to stay on South bass Island . Hope to catch something besides sheephead ..

Labshavit.....are you serious about the walleye by G can? and i assume you're talking about the firing range G can...not the international G. let me know brotha

Fished North & East of Kelly's. There seemed to be 2 packs of boats in the area yesterday. The first pack was probably 1-2 miles North & 5 miles East of the island. 2nd pack seemd to be 2-2.5 miles North & possibly 8-10 miles east of the island. (I'm just guessing on the distance, by sight) I'll load my GPS on the computer later. We got a late start & picked up some prehistoric sheephead. Fish on the sounder seemed to be in the middle or up top. Took a couple of small drifts and finally found a few walleye. Caught one per drift. First was about 20" & thin. Second was a 24" pig! We positioned for another longer drift that would have put us in the area of both fish, but the weather got nasty quick. We took off around 1:15, & I'm sure we would have picked up more if we stayed.

My Father-in-Law took the wife and kids out yesterday. They found a good perch bite near can 17 on the shipping channel. Got 16 lbs. in about 4 hours.
I'll probably go out Sat. and try this area again. We keep the radio on scan if anyone wants a report call for "Dirty Business"

Went to Canada for walleye,fished top of wagon wheel.Caught 4 walleye in 3 hours casting,gold and orange weapons.Stopped at Ballast on the way home to try for perch,two man limit in an hour and a half,all were 8-10 inches.:)

8/1 Fished N&E of Kelley's again. Slightly further East than last weekend. We picked up 4 & it took some work. Tons of sheephead... & I caught the largest catfish I've ever seen. Seemed like his head was the size of a volley-ball!

Got 90 perch, decent size off Lorain Lighthouse Saturday. Got another 60 today. Met a guy at the pumps on the way in Sat, had 13 nice walleye trolling off shore between all the perch boats at lorain lighthouse and Beaver Park beach.

fished north of water intake, gravel pit and by shipping channel green and white buoy. Kept 72 perch 4 guys fishing. Pretty slow day. Nicest fish were 8 miles out by shipping channel.

I hear ya on the shipping channel.must have been in similar area on thursday,started at gravel pit,hit a few and then turned small, moved out by lighthouse were pack was,lotta sheeps and small ones,moved way out between red/white and green;white on channel and hit some nice ones.even got a 12 incher,and several 10-11 inchers.23 fish,12lbs.
got a late start so i had to work for them,and it was odd, the bigger the fish the softer the bite.and bigger shiners,over 3 inch,were magnets for junk fish and the smaller perch.

Fished by buoy 13 sunday in 2-4 footers. 4 guys kept 100 for 22 lbs. Some real nice fish and some smaller ones. Lots of 3 inch white bass. Crappie rigs and spreaders without blades were best bet. Cut all minnows the smaller chunks were better for perch bigger and whole minows caught the junk fish
