The mayfly hatch always seems to slow the walleye fishing in the Western Basin, primarily within 8-10 miles or so of the shoreline and around the Islands. Once the hatch diminishes and then ends...

Fished from off West Harbor in the South Passage to between SB and Kelleys to north of Kelleys and then Gull Island Shoal last Sunday. Real late start - 3:30pm to 7:30. Same. Very few walleye...

I was up on Sunday, Port Clinton / Catawba / Marblehead. The hatch had started but wasn't thick. Same while out on the Lake. I would think this coming weekend will be around the peak including...

Icingeyes,

Previous posts all good advice. It comes down to this:

1. There will always be some walleye in the Western Basin, just not nearly as many once the water temperature gets to summer...

Tabiser,

You don't need to go running all over looking for deeper or certain water clarity. Limits are being taken in the South Passage literally a mile and half off shore. The South Passage is...

Randrasik,

All good advice so far.

You are lucky in that the walleye are close to west harbor this time of year. The South Passage, the area between South Bass and Kelleys Islands and the...

The Chartercam is back up and running for the 2022 season. See the Lake conditions and the crew fishing live when the boat is out, which should be most days now.

There is real good river fishing on the Maumee, Sandusky, and the Portage Rivers. You're late for the major walleye run, but there are still significant numbers in the Maumee and Sandusky. For the...

Another factor is wind direction. The walleye are in close to shore through April, on and around the reefs and shoals. If there are high winds but out of the southwest, south, or southeast, you can...

Simple answer. Audience and money. There are or have been a few local radio stations along the lake that do or did a very quick Lake fishing report during the summer, I think only on weekends. I...

I have a question before we get into the season. We all know how trolling has boomed over the last 10 years. It seems it’s all Lake Erie walleye fishing folks talk about, except for the spring jig...

The real cold weather and winds starting Friday and running through this morning shut everything down. Lake water temperature is just a few degrees above freezing, around 34-35 degrees. This cold...

He's right on.

Lake is still over half ice covered, all broken up, constantly moving around. A spot is open water one hour ice covered the next. So it's incredibility dangerous to be out in a...

I wondered when someone would point that out. :)

Yes, I did focus on how color changes with depth. I forgot to add how water clairy effects color. It does. I don't have the info at hand, but...

Looks like the ice fishing season probably has at least one more weekend (Feb 25-27) left over at South Bass. Winds and warm weather / rain have broken up the Western Basin ice everywhere except...

A little more input to this topic. This info comes from both research and what the pro walleye fisherfolks are now saying. I got some of this info from the seminars at last weekend's Columbus...

Another thing I mention on this site once or twice a year when I give a "scuba diving" response to questions posted on here. The surface water visibility is not always an indication of the...

Going by the Internet web cams, most shanties back out off South Bass. A few folks out off Catawaba. So ice fishing is back on.

As you would expect, nobody out off Catawba this morning. All the ice shanties have been pulled off the ice north and west of South Bass Island (there was one person out there this morning). We'll...

Ice cutters are out. You can see the track in the satellite photo. Confirmed on Marine Traffic website.

There is a good size group off Catawba today, but looks like only out a half mile or less. West and north of South Bass continues to have a lot of fishing. Second hand report of some people out off...

01/27/22 - Area webcams today don't show anyone out west of Catawba. Don't know if that's because they are north of the camera view or nobody went out because of the wind. Looks like twice as many...

Beautiful looking day on the Lake. Snow covered ice and blue skies, no wind and 17 degrees.

One guy out off Catawba and the small shanty towns north and west of South Bass Island.

Ice fishing...

Ice fishing has started. Buddy is out now north of South Bass on 8 inches of ice. Got a limit of walleye and a few white bass.
He's heading in soon. Went out with guide service. He said it's...

Store the excess shoes in the excess boats. Win win.
