WEST ERIE COUNTY, DWCO Randy Leighton, WCO Brook Tolbert Conditions: Its now all about the perch and recently the hot and humid weather. The recent heat has jumped the Lake temperature and average of 10 degrees. Perch have begun to school and are hitting hard. Anglers have been having great success in 38 to 41 feet of water due North of Trout Run and off the point at Presque Isle. Fish counts at the Walnut Creek Access this past weekend found many anglers bring back their limits in only a few hours. Live emerald shiners are always the bait of choice. Walleye fishing on the lake has still been hit or miss for most anglers although the local charter captains have been bringing in a number of limits so they are out there. Finding them can be difficult. Best bets for Walleye right now are to stay in shallow water... 25 to 40 feet. Crawler harnesses trolled behind small dipseys or flat lining are all that's needed at these depths. A few catfish have been pulled in off the Walnut Access Wall near the mouth. Fishing at night in muddy conditions at both Walnut and Elk Creeks can be productive. Crawlers fished on the bottom were successful. Bass fishing continues to thrive in the Bay and along the lake shore on the East side of the Peninsula. Anglers fishing the South wall this past weekend were having a bass bonanza with a good number of lunkers reeled in. Shiners and leeches were the baits of choice.
We have been receiving requests for new pavers for the wall, including location requests for these. We will be doing the engraving around the end of June. There are still pavers open for engraving, and you can check this out at the Marina Garden Wall site. These make wonderful recognition or memorial gifts for your family, friends, businesses – even your beloved pet or boat. So, if you are interested, please stop at the Walnut Creek Access Office or call me 814-474-2577 or drop an email to cbfbeach@aol.com.
