"Cooler Weather, Hot Fishing on Lake Erie Near Cleveland"

  • Summary

  • As of November 24, 2024, here’s what you can expect if you're heading out to fish on Lake Erie near Cleveland:

    **Weather and Tidal Conditions:**
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 45°F and a low of 35°F. Winds will be moderate, coming from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Tidal conditions are not a significant factor on Lake Erie, but wave heights will be around 2-4 feet due to the wind.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset is at 4:51 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Yesterday saw a strong walleye bite, particularly off the Cleveland shoreline and in the western basin of Lake Erie. Anglers were also successful in catching yellow perch, with many limits reported. Steelhead trout are starting to make their way into the area streams, but the lakefront is still a good spot to catch them.

    **Types and Amounts of Fish Caught:**
    Walleye have been the main target, with many anglers reporting good catches. Yellow perch fishing has also been excellent, with fish over 12 and 13 inches being caught. Steelhead trout are becoming more active in the area streams and lakefront.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For walleye, use jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers, especially in the deeper waters. Crankbaits and spinner rigs are also effective. For yellow perch, small jigs with maggots or minnows work well. For steelhead, try using spawn sacks or small jigs with maggots.

    **Hot Spots:**
    - The Cleveland shoreline of Lake Erie is hot for walleye right now.
    - The Rocky River and other area streams are good spots for steelhead trout.
    - For yellow perch, focus on the western basin of Lake Erie.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on Lake Erie, with a variety of species active and good conditions for fishing. Just be prepared for the cooler weather and moderate winds.
