We fish the spring Walleye Jig Bite than switch to Perch the rest of the year in the western basin, good spots are near Buoy 13 in the channel leading to Toledo,behind the water intake, off the Metzger Marsh Pier, B Can near Davis Besse are all good spots, we have been out few times this year and have done well, what we do is plain spreader (no beads or spinners)#4 Eagle Claw hooks ,lay the weight on the bottom for 2 seconds and raise it up VERY SLOWLY and I mean as slow as you possibly can until you are about 1 foot off the bottom drop it back down and repeat they normally will hit when the hooks are lifting off the bottom ,I have been fishing the lake 50 years and this is the way we do the best .we always use lake Erie shiners for bait if they are large cut them in half

The limit is 30 per person per day and we keep 7 1/2 " and up that is what Butch and Denny's will scale and filet.

If you want bigger fish Go to Vermillion and put your boat in at the route 6 bridge over the Vermillion River near the rail road bridge, go to the East of the break wall out 1 mile we do this several times per year and do very well.

All of this you must be anchored best off the stern so the boat does not swing .

I hope this helps !
Good luck!
