October fishing

[northcoastbob]

Hey wondering if anybody can give me some pointers on fishing lake Erie in fall? I've never fished there in the fall and would like to try. What area and type of lures. Are they deep or swallower? Any help would be awesome. Thanks alot

There are some really good choices for walleye in the fall! There is the fall brawl competition you can take part in. Prizes include cash and a really nice boat. I am too old to do it anymore but casting lures after dark will net you some really nice walleyes, you can do this at most jetties and piers. My favorites were lakeside fishing pier at Lakeside , Ohio out by Marblehead(gated community with fee sometimes). Near there is the Mazurik boat ramp and pier very near to Lakeside. Huron has two very nice piers one is accessible from the public beach. Lorain has a couple sites, there is lakeview park, the old ore docks by hot waters, mile long pier (Google Maps) I imbedded a link for the directions to mile long pier. I always used reef runner rippin sticks shallow or deep, the big husky divers, rapala shad rap. The best colors are silver and blue, firetiger or perch. There is a new lure called the bandit,I have used those trolling behind planer boards, comes in shallow and deep. There is some luck around those piers for perch and crappies. Best times for success on these fishing spots are 7pm to 10pm, 3am to daylight. Have a good time wish I could go with you!
