Walleye fishing has really picked up this past week, thanks to a steady weather pattern. Many limit catches have been taken all week from “E” buoy to the Raisin River in 22 feet of water. Wiggle warts have been good off the planner boards keeping small walleye (spikes) from biting 70 to 80 feet back […]
Walleye fishing has been good but we are still dealing with North East and East winds. Trolling between the Raisin River and Stoney Point with wiggle warts 90 back has produced some nice catchs in 22 to 24 feet of water. Trolling 40 jets around 65 feet produced walleye catchs faster than the wiggle warts […]
Once again the weather is playing a big roll in the fishing on Lake Erie in the Western Basin near Monroe, Michigan. The wind seems to switch everyday and sometimes during my trips, shutting the walleye down. Walleye fishing has been very good in the morning from 6am till about 10am. The afternoon bite has […]
Walleye fishing on Lake Erie has been on again and off again due to the weather. If you can get out and fish some of the most productive spots have been out between the shipping channel and West Sister Island in about 26 feet of water. I have been using spoons and 30 jet divers […]

Walleye fishing moved out over the shipping channel past sputnik east because of water conditionsss. Good size walleye are being caught North of Sputnik in 24 feet of […]
Lake Erie walleye fishing was really starting to pick up as the water was starting to warm up. When the cold front started Tuesday the fishing was still very good, then the bottom dropped out on Wednesday. Brest Bay was the best with limit catch’s in 26 feet of water pulling spoons behind mini-disks. The […]
Walleye fishing has been on the slow side near Bolles Harbor and the Brest Bay area. The surface water temperature is still on the cool side around 58 degrees. The walleye are a little sluggish, so if your trolling, troll around 1.5 to 1.8 mph. We used Deep Thunder Stick Jr. but the fish never […]
Walleye fishing on the Michigan side of Lake Erie near Monroe has been on the slow side for over a week. We trolled Thunderstick Jr. from the front of Toledo Beach Marina to the North West corner of the dump and boated 2 walleye, one being a 6 pounder. We trolled towards Turtle Island caught […]
Steve VanDerLaan is a busy guy this time of year. As the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ statewide fish-stocking biologist, it’s VanDerLaan’s job to get the annual hatchery production – in the vicinity of 18 million fish weighing 395 tons – out to the state’s lakes and streams during a roughly eight-week window. Stocking events […]
The Department of Natural Resources announced today that the daily possession limit for walleyes in Michigan’s waters of Lake Erie will remain at six through April 30, 2016. 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 […]
