Western Basin

Walleye
Walleye fishing has remained slow with little targeted effort. A few walleye, mostly from the 2003 year class, have been caught by trolling spoons or worm harnesses around Gull Island shoal and Kelleys Island shoal. As water temperatures drop larger adult walleye will migrate back towards Kelleys Island, the Bass Islands, and the area around Marblehead and Lakeside.

Yellow Perch
Last week the best western basin perch areas included the Toledo water intake, the northern cans of the Camp Perry firing range, E of the Gull Island shoal buoy, S of ā€œCā€ can of the Ontario border, E of the Kelleys Island airport, and S of Kelleys Island shoal. Most fish are still running on the small side, but larger fish (10-12ā€) are starting to appear in the catch. A perch spreader tipped with shiners is the most popular set-up.
