Perch fishing has been spotty up near Stoney Point but a its better a little farther south west near the Raisin River in about 23 feet of water. There are plenty of perch in the Michigan dumping grounds but you really have to move around until you find them. Another good spot is the second […]
My first perch fishing trip started off with a bang. I moved about 8 times to sample different areas and all but a few produced perch. Turtle Island area from 12 to 14 feet of water produced some nice yellow perch with out to much junk fish. I tried a few spots along the Maumee […]
Walleye fishing has been very productive along the dumping grounds, and near Bolles Harbor in 20ft of water. Wiggle warts and hot & tots have been helpful keeping the White Bass and White perch fended off. If the water is stained painted baits seemed to have an edge over plated baits. 70 and 80 ft […]
The water temp is starting to warm a little and getting the walleye in a biting mood. Fishing has need good from Toledo Beach Marina north to Bolles Harbor in 12 to 16 feet of water. Most of us are pulling body baits very slow 50 to 60 feet back. The fish never really picked […]
Super windy conditions have shut Lake Erie Western Basin down this past week around Monroe, Brest Bay and the Toledo Light due to high winds mainly from the North East. As of yesterday the lake was a mud pit as far as I could see from shore at Toledo Beach Marina where the wind was […]
As Chris Vandergoot lowered a portable receiver into the water above one of western Lake Erie’s many reefs, he listened intently through his headphones as the sophisticated electronics searched the depths for that reassuring tone. It comes quickly. That distinct “ping, ping, ping” is the sound of success. “It’s wow, they’re back,” Vandergoot said this […]

The Great Lakes region doesn’t even appear on the organization’s list of cruise options, but perhaps it should. Everything travelers love about cruises — luxury amenities, great food […]

Lake Erie Michigan: walleye fishing is very slow, the lake is still a little muddy Detroit River is a much different story, when the weather cooperates, walleye fishing is in full swing. A lot of limit catches were reported with numerous large females in the mix. The usual areas from the lower river at Trenton […]
The Department of Natural Resources today announced that the daily possession limit for walleye in Michigan’s waters of Lake Erie will remain at six through April 30, 2015. In 2011, Michigan adopted a process for setting creel limit regulations that allows the DNR to use real-time population data instead of using year-old survey results. This […]
