Ohio DNR closes two big walleye over-limit cases on Lake Erie

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife’s law enforcement officers assigned to Lake Erie recently closed two cases in which anglers unlawfully took more than the legal daily limit of six walleye.
In December 2024, Ohio Wildlife investigators Kelsey Brockman, Brian Bury, Jason Hadsell, and Kevin Good discovered anglers at Huron Fishing Access Boat Launch in Erie County were double tripping, an unlawful practice of surpassing daily bag limits by taking multiple trips onto Lake Erie in a day. In total, 10 anglers were charged in Huron Municipal Court.
