Central Basin

Walleye
Where: Fishing has been good off Sawmill Creek, at the dumping grounds off both Huron and Lorain, and at times around Ruggles Reef. Fishing has slowed down in the Cleveland area with a few fish being caught in 15-to-37 feet and 50-to-60 feet of water north of Gordon Park, and in 60-feet of water north of Wildwood Park. Excellent fishing, the best of the year, has been reported in 65-to-74 feet of water north of Geneva and in 60-to-74 feet of water north-northeast of Ashtabula.
How: Anglers are using planer boards, Dipsy and Jet divers, and wireline, with worm harnesses, spoons and stick baits.

Yellow perch
Where: Anglers are catching some perch off St. Anthony's near Lorain, in 30-to-50 feet of water north of Edgewater Park, and in 30-to-40 feet of water north of Wildwood Park off Euclid Hospital. Excellent fishing has been reported in 45-to-63 feet of water northwest to northeast of Fairport Harbor and in 58-to-62 feet of water north of Conneaut. Fishing from shore has been spotty off the E. 55th Street and E. 72nd Street piers in Cleveland and at the long pier off Mentor Headlands.
How: Perch spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish.

Smallmouth bass
Where: Fishing has slowed down around the harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut. A few fish are being picked up off the Perry bubble early in the mornings.
How: Anglers are using drop shot rigs with tubes baits, leeches and soft craws.

White bass
Where: Anglers fishing from boats are catching white bass north of Cleveland, Eastlake and Fairport Harbor in 20-to-40 feet of water. Watch for the gulls feeding on the surface and the white bass will be below the school of emerald shiners. Anglers fishing form shore are catching fish off the piers in Cleveland, Eastlake and the Grand River, with the evenings being the best. It is always hard to predict when the fishing will pick up for white bass.
How: Anglers are using small spoons, spinners and agitators with jigs tipped with twister tails.


The Lake Erie water temperature is 70 off Toledo and 69 off Cleveland according to the nearshore marine forecast.
