Lake Erie

Lake Erie walleye boom’s cause is a mystery, but no one is complaining
Spoons of all sizes are working behind dipsy, jet and tru-trip divers, with Stinger and Silver Streak spoons with a splash of pink or purple getting the attention of walleye. The walleye are generally suspending at 17 to 25 feet, and few are roaming the deeper waters. The bottom 3 or 4 feet of water have already been reported as oxygen-starved by the fisheries experts.
A few yellow perch are being caught in 30 feet of water. The perch seem to be suspending about 10 feet off the bottom and feeding on water fleas and hatching mayflies, but they will nibble on emerald shiner minnows.
The smallmouth bass fishing has been excellent in 17 to 25 feet of water around the harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut.
