ODNR Fishing Report for 05/25/2010: Western Basin, OH,
Fishing Report Posted: May 25, 2010

Walleye: Muddy water has limited walleye fishing in the far western basin. Farther east the best fishing was around Niagara Reef, “D” can of the Camp Perry firing range, from Green Island to North Bass Island, and also NE of Kelleys Island. Casters are switching over to mayfly rigs or drifting bottom bouncers with worm harnesses. Trollers are catching fish on spoons and dipsys or jet divers, worm harnesses with inline weights, or with crankbaits.

Yellow perch: With most of the fishing effort being directed towards walleye, there have been very few perch reports. The best reports have come from between Marblehead and Kelleys Island. Perch spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish.
