Western Basin Walleye Walleye fishing has been slow. Expect fishing to improve as the large 2003 year class begins to surpass the 15" minimum size limit. The best walleye fishing has been around the Toledo water intake in 21' of water, S of "F" can on the Canadian border, and along the northern border of the Camp Perry firing range from "A" can to "C" can. Drifting or trolling worm harnesses and trolling spoons produce the most fish. Yellow Perch Perch fishing has remained slow, but occasional decent catches have come from W and NW of Kelleys Island and around West Reef near North Bass Island. A perch spreader tipped with shiners is the most popular set-up. Smallmouth Bass The best smallmouth bass fishing has been around the Bass Islands, Kelleys Island and Sandusky Bay. Largemouth bass have been caught in Sandusky Bay, East Harbor and West Harbor.
