COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Here is the Lake Erie fishing report provided by the Division of Wildlife of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources:
Unstable fall weather continues to limit fishing opportunities. Wind, waves and stained water are making walleye fishing difficult. When the winds calm and conditions stabilize expect fishing to improve.
Heading into the late fall season the Bass Islands, Kelleys Island and nearshore from Port Clinton to Vermilion will all produce walleye. Stable conditions and clear water produce the best results. The best technique to catch fall trophies is trolling crank baits around open water baitfish during the day or along rocky shorelines at night. Shore anglers can also catch walleye from western basin piers after dark as walleye move inshore to feed on shiners and gizzard shad.
The Lake Erie surface temperature is 49 degrees off of Toledo and 55 degrees off of Cleveland.
The yellow perch daily bag limit on Lake Erie has been reduced to 30 fish per day. The change in yellow perch bag limit occurred after the printing of fishing regulations brochure. The 2007-08 fishing regulations brochure incorrectly lists the Lake Erie yellow perch bag limit as 40 fish per day, which has now been changed to 30.
The black bass (largemouth and smallmouth) daily bag limit is 5 fish with a 14-inch minimum size limit.
The walleye daily bag limit is 6 fish. The minimum size limit for walleye is 15 inches.
The steelhead trout daily bag limit is 2 from Sept. 1 until May 15. The minimum size limit for steelhead is 12 inches.
