The one thing that anglers find out about fishing Lake Erie with a worm trailer is that they attract all the other fish as well. An old trick of the trade you might say is to ball the worm up so it is wrapped around the hook. It will appear to be more of a ball instead of a long skinny trailer. The walleye will bite at it, but it will eliminate other fish from taking the bait. This is something that might not be common knowledge for new anglers to the walleye fishing in Lake Erie.

The Great Lakes are popular for fishing walleye. The water temperatures are just right during the summer months and ideal for ice fishing during the winter. The water conditions do change from day to day, which might require fishing with different lures and using different techniques, but for the most part walleye fishing is the best on cloudy days with a slight wind. Many anglers will tell you that the area where you fish is not as important as it is what your fish with and what the weather and water look like when you get out on the water.

Whether you fish the eastern, central or western basins of Lake Erie, or Lake Superior up by Duluth or Lake Huron, you are going to find some trophy sized fish. The fish that you want to take home and show your friends are going to be caught in some of the deeper waters. The fish that you catch for dinner are found in shallower waters around the underwater formations and weed beds. You should also check the local bait shops around the common areas where anglers take off from to see where the walleye are lurking on any given day. A fish locator will only work if you have some idea where to go.
