2023 Lake Erie Walleye Outlook

Call it Cabin Fever. Thought I'd share two short pieces of info on the Walleye fishery in Lake Erie. The first is a good one page condensed info pamphlet from ODW. The second is from D’ARCY EGAN, a well known Ohio outdoors writer. Both tell us the Lake Erie walleye fishery is in great shape and will be for years to come, as long as something crazy doesn't happen.

There is so much information now on the Lake and the fishery. It has expanded nearly exponentially over the last 10 years. I hope to help make all this info make sense for the typical walleye fisherfolk.

Lake Erie walleye anglers get great news for the New Year! - The Beacon

Good stuff.
Thank you.

Excellent Information! Quick Read and to the point.

Thanks, Dave, for posting those two articles for us. Great news for us walleye fishermen. Not so much for the perch guys. Troubling to read that the commercial netters could only catch a third of their reduced quota of perch, in the central zone of Ohio. Hope the perch numbers don't crash in the western basin too.

Thanks for the links, as i also have cabin/fishing fever! I have been buying crankbaits and spoons to get a fix...like i need anymore tackle!

Same here in more lures and gear! Thank you for the good news. Plan is to fish early and often this season.....God willing 😊
