  • Fishing the Detroit River and Lake Erie for Walleye, Perch, and Smallmouth Bass

    Fishing the Detroit River and Lake Erie for Walleye, Perch, and Smallmouth Bass
    Nov 23 2024
    For November 23, 2024, here’s a local’s perspective on the fishing conditions in Lake Erie and the Detroit River:

    Today, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 48°F and a low of 38°F, making it a crisp but manageable day for fishing. Sunrise was at 7:28 AM, and sunset will be at 4:54 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the water.

    Tidal conditions are not a major factor in Lake Erie, but wind and water temperatures play a significant role. Currently, the water temperature is in the mid-40s, which is typical for this time of year.

    Fish activity has been moderate, with reports of smallmouth bass, walleye, and perch being caught. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a decent number of walleye, particularly in the Detroit River, using crankbaits and jigs. Perch fishing has also been good, especially around the river's structure and near the Lake Erie islands.

    For walleye, trolling crankbaits in shallow waters, especially around the areas like Mazurik's Marina, has been effective. For perch, using small jigs tipped with minnows or maggots is a good strategy. Smallmouth bass are active around the rocky structures and islands, and soft plastics or spinnerbaits are working well.

    Hot spots include the Detroit River, particularly the areas around Belle Isle and the mouth of the river where it meets Lake Erie. The Lake Erie islands, such as Pelee Island and Kelleys Island, are also producing good catches of walleye and perch.

    Overall, it's a great time to get out and enjoy the fall bite before winter sets in. Make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for changing weather conditions. Good luck on the water

    **Weather and Tidal Conditions:**
    The weather is expected to be seasonably warm, though there's a chance of measurable precipitation by the end of the week with slightly lower temperatures. As of today, the skies are partly cloudy with a gentle breeze. Tides are moderate, with no significant tidal fluctuations that would impact fishing.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset is at approximately 4:45 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.

    **Types and Amounts of Fish:**
    Walleye were the main catch, with many anglers reporting multiple catches using jigs and 3-way rigs outfitted with MagLips or live bait. Steelhead were also plentiful in the area streams, such as the Rocky River. Yellow perch and smallmouth bass were caught in decent numbers as well.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For walleye, jigs and 3-way rigs with MagLips or live bait are highly effective. For steelhead, egg and egg imitations, as well as beads, are working well. Smallmouth bass are biting on soft plastics and crankbaits.

    **Hot Spots:**
    - The western basin of Lake Erie, particularly around the Cleveland shoreline, is a hot spot for walleye.
    - The Rocky River and other local streams are great for steelhead.

  • Lake Erie and Detroit River Fishing Update: Walleye, Bass, and Perch Biting in Mild November Conditions

    Lake Erie and Detroit River Fishing Update: Walleye, Bass, and Perch Biting in Mild November Conditions
    Nov 21 2024
    As of November 21, 2024, here’s a local’s perspective on the fishing scene around Lake Erie and the Detroit River:

    First off, let's talk about the weather and tidal conditions. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to low 50s Fahrenheit. The winds are moderate, coming in from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Sunrise was at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be around 4:50 PM. Tides in the Detroit River are relatively stable, with a low tide at 9:30 AM and a high tide at 3:30 PM.

    Fish activity has been moderate, especially with the recent warmer temperatures. Anglers have been reporting catches of smallmouth bass, walleye, and perch. Yesterday saw a decent number of walleye being caught, particularly in the Western and Central basins of Lake Erie. Smallmouth bass are also active, especially near structure like rocks and drop-offs. Perch fishing has been consistent, with many anglers targeting them in the shallower waters.

    For walleye, the best lures to use right now include jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers, as well as crankbaits that mimic baitfish. For smallmouth bass, soft plastics like curly tail grubs and crankbaits are working well. Perch are biting on small jigs with maggots or tiny minnows.

    Some hot spots to consider include the Detroit River itself, particularly around the Ambassador Bridge and the Trenton Channel. On Lake Erie, the Western Basin near the Ohio-Michigan border has been producing good walleye catches. Another spot is the area around Pelee Island, where the structure and drop-offs are attracting both bass and walleye.

    Remember to check your local bait shops for the latest tips and to ensure you have the right gear for the conditions. Good luck out there, and stay warm
