26 MAR 2025 · Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Erie fishing report for March 26, 2025.
The weather's looking decent today with partly cloudy skies, highs around 50°F and lows in the upper 30s. Winds are light from the southwest at 5-10 mph. Sunrise was at 7:22 AM and sunset will be at 7:43 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with.
Water temps are still chilly, hovering around 44°F, but that's not stopping the fish from biting. The walleye action has been red hot lately, with limit catches of 6 fish per day common. Most are in the 20-24 inch range, with some real trophies mixed in. They're suspended in 15-25 feet of water, about 5-10 feet down.
For walleye, you can't go wrong with purple and gold Bandits or Reef Runners. Husky Jerks and Ripsticks are also producing well. After dark, try glow-in-the-dark colors for some excitement.
Yellow perch fishing has been decent in 30-35 feet of water. Spreader rigs with emerald shiners are the ticket. We're seeing some jumbos over 12 inches, so it's worth putting in the time.
Steelhead are making their spring run up the tributaries. The Rocky and Chagrin rivers are good bets. Spawn sacs, jigs with maggots, and small spoons are all working well.
For you shore anglers, try casting from the East 55th Street pier or Edgewater Park. These spots have been producing nice walleye in the evenings.
Hot spots this week include the area around Kelleys Island for walleye, and the mouth of the Rocky River for steelhead. The reefs near Port Clinton are also on fire for walleye trolling.
Remember, ice fishing is no longer safe, so stick to open water tactics. Always check conditions before heading out and wear your life jacket.
That's all for now, folks. Get out there and tight lines!

24 MAR 2025 · Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Erie fishing report for March 24, 2025.

For walleye, you can't go wrong with purple and gold Bandits or Reef Runners. Husky Jerks and Ripsticks are also producing well. After dark, try glow-in-the-dark colors for some excitement. If you're casting from shore, the East 55th Street pier has been producing nice walleye in the evenings.
Yellow perch fishing has been decent in 30-35 feet of water. Spreader rigs with emerald shiners are the ticket. We're seeing some jumbos over 12 inches, so it's worth putting in the time.
Steelhead are making their spring run up the tributaries. The Rocky and Chagrin rivers are good bets. Spawn sacs, jigs with maggots, and small spoons are all working well. The steelhead fishing has been a bit slower this year, but we're starting to see more fresh fish moving in with each high water event.
For you bass anglers, both largemouth and smallmouth are starting to wake up. Try fishing around structure in Presque Isle Bay with jigs and soft plastics.
Hot spots this week include the area around Kelleys Island for walleye, and the mouth of the Rocky River for steelhead. The reefs near Port Clinton are also on fire for walleye trolling.
Remember, ice fishing is no longer safe, so stick to open water tactics. Always check conditions before heading out and wear your life jacket. And don't forget, if you're fishing from a boat less than 21 feet, you're required to wear that PFD until May 1st.
That's all for now, folks. Get out there and tight lines!

23 MAR 2025 · Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Erie fishing report for March 23, 2025.
Let's start with the weather. We're looking at partly cloudy skies today with a high of 48°F and light winds out of the southwest at 5-10 mph. Sunrise was at 7:25 AM and sunset will be at 7:41 PM. As for tides, we don't really deal with those on Lake Erie, but water levels are about average for this time of year.
Now for the good stuff - the fishing! Walleye action has been absolutely on fire lately. Anglers are reporting limit catches of 6 fish per day, with many in the 20-24 inch range. These fish are hungry after a long winter! Trolling with crankbaits like Bandits and Reef Runners in blue/chrome or purple/chartreuse has been the ticket. If you're casting, try a jig and minnow combo or blade baits.
Yellow perch fishing has been decent in the western basin, but slower in the central and eastern parts of the lake. Emerald shiners or small minnows on perch spreaders are your best bet.
Steelhead are also starting to run up the tributaries - the Rocky and Chagrin rivers have been producing well on spawn sacs, jigs, and flies.
For you bass anglers, smallmouth are starting to move shallow. Try jerkbaits, tube jigs, or drop shot rigs along rocky points and breaklines in 15-25 feet of water. A few trophy-sized fish over 5 pounds have been reported already!
As for hot spots, I'd recommend trying around the Lake Erie islands like Kelleys and South Bass for walleye. For perch, head to the waters off Vermilion or Huron. And don't overlook Cleveland Harbor itself - some big walleye move in there to feed this time of year.
That's all for now, folks. Remember to bundle up, be safe out there, and tight lines!

14 MAR 2025 · Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Erie fishing report for March 14, 2025.
The weather's looking decent today with partly cloudy skies and highs around 45°F. We've got light winds out of the southwest at 5-10 mph. Sunrise was at 7:36 AM and sunset will be at 7:32 PM.
Lake Erie's water level is about average for this time of year. No significant tides to report since it's a lake, but keep an eye on those wind-driven water level changes.
Fishing activity is starting to pick up as we transition into spring. Walleye are still the main attraction, with good numbers being caught in 20-30 feet of water. Most fish are in the 15-24 inch range, with some real trophies over 28 inches mixed in. Yellow perch fishing has been hit or miss, but should improve as the water warms up.
For walleye, bandits and reef runners in blue/chrome or purple/chartreuse have been hot. Don't forget about the classics like Husky Jerks and Hot N' Tots either. If you're after perch, spreaders with shiners are your best bet.
Steelhead are starting to show up in the tributaries too. Egg sacs, jigs, and flies are all producing fish. The Rocky River and Chagrin River have been fishing well lately.
For bait, emerald shiners are always a good choice this time of year. Nightcrawlers and soft plastics are worth a try too.
As for hot spots, the area off Cleveland's East 72nd Street has been producing some nice walleye. The Wildwood Marina area is another good bet. For shore anglers, try your luck at Edgewater Park or the East 55th Street Marina.
Remember to bundle up and be safe out there. Tight lines, everyone!
