Spring walleye fishing on western Lake Erie is under way. Pending weather, fish have been caught with hair jigs tipped with shiners in Maumee Bay, inshore of the reef complex in 8-15' of water, and on the reef complex in the Camp Perry firing range. Trollers have caught fish along the northern and eastern buoys of the Camp Perry firing range trolling stick baits. Perch fishing is starting to pick up in traditional early spring spots in water depths ranging from 25'-35' using minnows on perch spreaders fished near the bottom.
