2020 Eastern lake Erie walleye report:

Left the SP launch at 2:30 and headed west to start out in 64 fow out from Evans Bar. Decent drift conditions for harnesses. Not enough marks and no bites so headed farther west to 60 fow off the Catt. Landed a small perch and sheephead. Sporadic marks at best and no eye biters. Made several more drifts then headed back to finish off of Sturgeon Point. Made a few drifts from 55 to 40 fow. One big sheep [emoji207] head. Headed back to launch at 8:40. Fished hard and nothing to clean tonight. Pulled in at home at 11 pm. Everyone I spoke to at the launch did poorly today. A few people said they got 1 walleye. Better luck next time.

Fished yesterday as well. Got on water at 3 pm. Fished until 8:20 and motored in with beautiful sunset. We caught 8, released one short. 17 to 20 inches. Drifted with harnesses out in front of Evans Bar in 53 to 40 fow. Lost a few that were bigger on the fight. Bonus 5 perch. One was 12 inches. Great start.

I agree with you JustFishin! The LEU forum and this thread were once again my go to resources for fishing on Lake Erie. Tons of helpful information is readily shared and the fishing reports have been very helpful. My last outing was back in September. Boat is in storage now and hoping to do some hunting now and then some ice fishing. Nothing better than the fantastic summer walleye fishing on Erie though.

Fished pretty far west out of SP today from 12:30 to 7:30 pm. We ended up with a 2 man limit with some better size fish this time... (22,22,23,24,25 inch with the rest smaller). Caught them in 70 to 76 fow. All came on worm harnesses drifting with 1.5 or 2 oz. bottom bouncers, rod in hand. Tried a new Gambler rig for a while and did not get any takes on it but it was before the bite picked up though. I like the spin action of the rig at slower drifting speeds. Fishing was slower from 12:30 to 4 and picked up from 4 to 7:30 when we finished.

Things changed in the afternoon on Sunday I think. We got out on the water about 2 pm and fished until dark. Fishing was slower than I expected given the reports of limits at the launch from guys who were coming in. We were drifting with harnesses & bottom bouncers. Caught 5 eyes 17 to 21 inches and 7 jumbo perch. Some perch were very fat with largest being 13.5 inches. Wind died from 4 to 5 pm and then shifted and picked up again from 5 till dark getting stronger as we pulled into marina. Lots of fish marked but tight lipped maybe due to wind and pressure change?? The eyes we got and a number of fish lost were biting very light and slow. Definitely not on the feed like our last time out last week when we limited.

Garry, good to know that I am not the only fisherman having trouble getting dipseys to trip with typical size walleye. Mine are also set as light as possible without tripping on the drop. I added snubbers to reduce line twist. That has helped that issue. I have to watch closely to detect the hit. Have reeled in a number in the 17 to 20 inch range that I didn't know were on. My Cabela's dipsey rods may be too stiff for walleye? Going out Sunday. Hope to be able to drift if wind is above 10 knots or so. Thanks for sharing.

Fished from 2 till 7 pm. Straight out in front of Sturgeon point in 58 to 63 fow. We got our 2 man limit. Size ranging from 17 to 21 inches. Dropped a few good ones as well. We used 3 oz. Bottom bouncers with harnesses, rod in hand fishing. Great day. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Erie United Mobile App
