Lake Erie: The perch bite continued to hold steady with most boats getting 20-60 fish and even a few limit catches. Fish were caught southeast of Stony Point in 25 feet, east of Stony Point near or in Ohio waters in 27 feet, and near the Dumping Grounds. Emerald shiners on perch rigs with green, orange and chartreuse spinners and/or beads were still the ticket. Catch rates for walleye dropped to one or two fish taken east of Sterling State Park beach in 16 to 18 feet in the early morning when trolling spoons and pink, purple or red bandits and flicker minnows. Those targeting walleye and perch also caught white perch, white bass, freshwater drum, smallmouth bass and channel cats. Large and smallmouth bass along with a few crappie and bowfin were caught along the Sterling seawall. Try tube baits, crank baits or a green pumpkin worm.

Lake Erie & Tributaries
Prior to last weekend, steelhead fishing was pretty good in the lower sections of the Lake Erie tributaries. Anglers who were fishing the mid to upper sections reported much fewer hook-ups. There were blow-outs on the Erie streams this past Saturday and Monday. The high water events likely helped move more steelhead further upstream. The creeks are in good shape today (Wednesday), however with plenty of rain in the forecast, another blow-out is imminent. Tributary steelhead commonly take flies such as egg imitations, nymphs, streamers and wooly buggers. Drift anglers do well with egg sacs, beads and jigs with grubs fished under a float.

Lake Erie: Shore anglers caught some nice bluegills in the Metro Park Marina. Some pike and the odd perch were also caught. Most are using minnows, wax worms or a piece of crawler.
