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.
