Water temperatures in the Western Basin are still in the 72-73 degree range. All the sunlight and the hot days have kept the temps up. Fish are still acting like it's late summer. We're just a week or two behind the average, which for late September is around 68 degrees. The temperature has actually gone up from back in the middle of the month. Then it was just under 69 degrees, now it's back up to near 72. We just have to wait until it drops into the 60's and keeps going down slowly. That will trigger more feeding and walleye movement back into the Western Basin. Walleye fishing is still real good Huron east. I heard of a guy in Erie PA that supposedly caught a 38 inch one last week. That said, there are enough walleye in the deeper waters out along the border that you can catch your smaller size limit. I heard of two guys that caught a limit last weekend up along the line from North Bass to Middle Islands. Perch fishing has been spotty, but there have been limits of nice size perch caught in Maumee Bay and around the Camp Perry range. The traditional areas off Marblehead and Kelleys as well as around the Bass Islands should start producing soon.
