  • Summary

  • As of November 1, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Erie near Cleveland is quite active, despite the cooler weather setting in.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 55°F and a low of 45°F. The winds are moderate, blowing at about 10 mph from the northwest. Tides are not a significant factor on Lake Erie, but water levels are currently stable.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:34 AM, and sunset will be at 5:54 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a decent catch of walleye, steelhead, and yellow perch. Walleye were particularly active, with many anglers reporting catches in the 18-22 inch range. Steelhead are starting to move into the area streams and lakefront, and yellow perch are still abundant in the shallower waters.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Several anglers reported catching limits of walleye, with some boats bringing in up to 6 fish per person. Steelhead catches were also promising, especially in the early morning hours. Yellow perch were plentiful, especially around the A and B Can areas.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For walleye, the best lures have been deep-diving crankbaits and jigging spoons. Nightcrawlers and minnows on a jig or spinner rig have also been effective. For steelhead, natural baits like egg sacs, worms, and flies such as egg imitations and black stoneflies are working well. Yellow perch are biting on small jigs tipped with minnows or maggots.

    ### Hot Spots
    Two hot spots to consider today are the area around the 72nd Street launch and the waters off Avon Lake. The 72nd Street launch has been producing good numbers of walleye and steelhead, while Avon Lake has seen a surge in yellow perch activity.

    Overall, it's a great time to get out on Lake Erie, especially if you're targeting walleye and steelhead. Just make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for the cooler weather.
