As mentioned above the walleye are sensitive to light so the best time
to go fishing on Lake Eerie is between late evening and early morning.
Overcast days are also a good time to go. The walleye can see extremely
well in the dark and this gives them an advantage over other species so
during the night is when they feed the most. You can also have quite a
bit of luck when fishing on overcast days or when the wind is creating
waves that will block the rays of the sun from entering the depths of
the water.
When it comes to artificial lures, anglers have found that jigs, plugs,
crankbaits, spoons, plastic worms and spinners work great on Lake
Eerie. They have also discovered that casting, trolling and jigging are
all great methods to use. Trolling with a small crankbait is best for
fishing in shallow water. When fishing at night or in murky waters
using bright color lures like chartreuse or one of the phosphorescent
colors work the best.
When fishing in clear water more lifelike and natural looking lures
work best. It never hurts to carry a variety of bait with you because
the walleye can get a little finicky from time to time and if one type
of bait doesn't work, then you can change and try another one. Walleye
fishing on Lake Eerie can be some of the best you've ever experienced.
