On Lake Erie, anglers were catching yellow perch on weighted perch rigs/spreaders while using minnows or worms, but minnows had more success.

Bluegill action has been strong through most of the summer, but something flipped since last week.

Inland lake fishing remains good across the state, with bass and panfish keeping anglers busy

Best success is with panfish at most fisheries.

Fishing has been good in recent weeks, for many species, pretty much across the state.

On Lake Erie, anglers on the Western Basin are producing quick limits of walleyes by the usual trolling Bandit method. A pleasant surprise has been the yellow perch bite.

The water temps are really starting to fall and that has helped with the bite. More perch are being caught, and with cool and stable weather, it’s only going to get better in the coming

In addition to many limits of eaters being caught around the lake, some really big walleyes are showing up as well.

It appears covering more water rather than working small areas has been best for catching salmon and steelhead offshore.
