Went out with my son and another this morning. Got our limit but really had to work for them. In hindsight , white and purple was the best choice but like good fishermen , we disregarded the info in...

Thanks for the advice. I have a big sock but prefer not to use it if my wife is the only other person onboard. I don’t have to worry about my wife getting a hook into it that way.

My wife and I jigged for two hours yesterday afternoon and ended with 4 keepers. Threw a short back and lost two others. A little slow but the gale didn’t help. We were moving about 1.2 mph. Way too...

You will be able to catch some fish jigging still. The million dollar question is where will the fish be. We have some wind in the next few days so the water in shallow areas may be dirty. If you...

Second fishing trip this year. Started in 16 feet of water just northwest of turtle creek. Caught 5 in an hour and the wind died. The fish seemed to be in small pods and with the wind change, it was...

Went out with my wife today. We started out a half mile northeast of the entrance to wild wings marina. Water was still a little dirty. Lost first fish almost at the boat. No more activity. Moved...

Went out yesterday morning with a buddy. We fished the west side of toussaint reef just off the shallowest part. We were in 15 feet of water. Fished about 4 1/2 hours and got 8 keepers and lost...

Commercial fishing is still legal in Ohio but for the few legacy licenses that have been held for years. No new license issued for decades. No take of walleye is legal. They typically fish for perch...

Oops I put the wrong date in the title. I was out July 3rd not June 3rd

Went out solo this morning and got a limit of walleye in 1 1/2 hours in 14 feet of water north of crane creek. I found that if I stayed just a little shallower, I didn't catch as many undesirables. ...

Forgot to note the water was surprisingly very clear considering the northeast wind we've had a couple days ago. There were twenty to thirty trollers in the area but not sure how they did. We...

Fished 3 1/2 hours with a buddy this morning a mile off crane creek in 14 - 15 feet of water. Picked up 10 keepers and a short casting harnesses. The grade of fish was very good as we had two around...

Two great follow up comments from rickerd and itsbob. Thanks for the information.

I also like braid but use a 5 to 10 foot section of fluorocarbon for visibility protection in clearer water. I've never seen anything official about how fast the setup I use sinks so I've taken a...

Fished 2 1/2 hours late Friday 6/2 about a mile east of toussaint reef. Got 4 into the net, lost one at the boat and probably 3 more further back. Unfortunately my wife got skunked. She drifted a...

Went out this morning for a little fishing. I started east of toussaint reef and worked my way north and east drifting and casting. 3 1/2 hours later I finished east of niagara reef. Ended with 3...

So the first place for a new to Lake Erie person I would suggest is NOAA chart 14830. It gives you a great look at the western basin and is zoom able so will provide all the info you need. I'm don't...

No minnows on the jigs. Three of the fish were caught on the stinger hook though which is typical.

Went out with my wife today. We fished about 2 hours and caught 4 keepers and a short. Jigging with purple 3/4 ounce. We were about a mile due north of the exit from Wild Wings marina in 16 - 17 feet...

There will be a pack of boats north of turtle creek that you can't miss. As caption said, they are in shallow water. Start looking in 12 feet of water and work your way out until you mark fish. The...

I was out today with a buddy. We tried in close off turtle creek but the water was pretty dirty still. Moved to niagara reef where we were yesterday. Picked up 7 in 5 hours. Caught all fish on purple...

My wife and I were out this morning doing some jigging. We started at toussaint reef but the water was pretty dirty. No good there. Water was 47 degrees. Clarity improved significantly before we got...

Foot doc,
my wife and I went yesterday and picked up 3. We started a mile out north of turtle creek but didn't get any. Moved to locust reef and picked up 1. Moved again to cone reef but the wind...

Several very good replies here. For me, it would make a difference how you are fishing. I prefer 5 to 15 kts because I always am a caster and a good breeze keeps the boat moving. I do prefer a...

Went out with my son and daughter this morning. Much tougher than yesterday. We worked hard for 3 1/2 hours and ended with 11 nice fish. The surprise was first time fishing for my daughter in 15...
