iLAKEERIE Lake Erie Western Basin Fishing Report  

November 2025:  The active Fishing Report is done for the 2025 Season.  It will return spring 2026, or if we get ice fishing this winter.

Walleye:   For the hardy folks, the rest of the season is daytime slow trolling within a few miles of shore or casting crankbaits off shoreline piers and break walls at night.  Fishing will continue to move closer to shore as water temperatures drop.

Yellow Perch For the rest of the season, try in Maumee Bay around the Lighthouse and water intake; the south west and south east sides of the Camp Perry range, the west side of Catawba, and in the South Passage from Lakeside to Marblehead.
