May 2009 Western Lake Erie Fishing Reports

[PZeiler]

Fished Tuesday night for 2.5 hours in front of Turtle Creek. Fishing very spotty. 5 walleye on purple jigs and 1 walleye on a purple blade bottom bouncer tipped with 2 minnows

My wife caught two walleye, one 16" and one 24" on a perch spreader in 20' of water fished just off the bottom, about a half mile south of E can. She also caught 6 white perch and 2 white bass. She caught one walleye on a night crawler and one on a minow.

I was using the purple jig tiped with a minow, and caught a sheephead. I tried other lures but the spreader my wife was using was doing great!

Well I am eating fish tonight because I brought my wife!

We caught 6 eyes on Sunday.

The water was kind of muddy from that fierce West wind the day before.

2 were caught by K can and 4 on Locust. We left at noon.

It wasn't my day that day. I only caught one of the five and my buddy caught the rest. He was using hair jigs with several minnows on them. At first I wasn't using a minnow but then I switched and caught 1!!

Gonna troll this weekend with spoons. It's supposed to be flat calm (they're saying right now).

A nice day on the lake, but no eyes!
I caught some of the bigest Sheepheads I have ever caught today.
Started at Round Reef , then to Niagara Reef and no eyes!
I was using jigs(purple) tiped with minnow and night crawler harness too!
The only thing I can think of is the lake has been affected by the high waves and that has mixed things up as far as fishing goes.
