  • Lake Erie Fishing Report: Smallmouth, Walleye, and More Biting Strong on April 14, 2025
    Apr 14 2025
    Good morning anglers! Today, April 14, 2025, promises excellent fishing opportunities in the Lake Erie and Cleveland areas. Here’s your up-to-date narrative fishing report to help you make the most of your outing.

    The weather this morning started crisp at around 45°F, with highs expected to reach 55°F. Winds are coming in from the southwest at 10-15 mph, which might create some chop on the water, but overall conditions are fishable. Sunrise was at 6:47 AM, and sunset is at 8:02 PM, giving you plenty of daylight for a productive day on the lake.

    Fish activity is strong across the region. Smallmouth bass are particularly active as they move into shallower waters near the mouths of the Rocky and Chagrin rivers for the spawning season. Walleye fishing remains outstanding, with reports of anglers catching fish ranging from 15 to 24 inches, and occasional trophy-sized catches over 28 inches. Yellow perch are also biting well, especially near Cleveland’s artificial reefs and Ruggles Reef, with catches up to 13 inches. Steelhead trout are still hanging around in good numbers, particularly in the tributaries, though the spring run is tapering off.

    For lures and bait, walleye are responding well to Husky Jerks, Z-Man minnows, and jigging spoons, especially when worked near the bottom. For smallmouth bass, crankbaits, jerkbaits, and spinners are highly effective. If you’re targeting yellow perch, use drop-shot rigs or spreaders tipped with minnows or worms. Steelhead anglers should try spawn bags, jigs tipped with maggots, or minnow-shaped crankbaits.

    If you’re looking for hot spots, consider the breakwalls near Gordon Park and Edgewater Park, which are yielding good numbers of walleye, perch, and bass. Additionally, the Rocky River near the Emerald Necklace Marina is a prime spot for smallmouth and steelhead. The Chagrin River is another excellent location for steelhead action.

    As for the tides, while tidal influences are minimal on Lake Erie, water clarity and slight wind-driven currents may play a role in fish behavior today. Winds from the southwest should create favorable conditions for nearshore fishing.

    Don’t forget rain is forecasted for later in the afternoon, so pack your rain gear. With active fish, favorable conditions, and ample daylight, today is shaping up to be a fantastic day to hit the water. Tight lines, and best of luck out there!

  • Anglers' Report: Lake Erie Fishing Heats Up with Walleye, Perch, and Smallmouth Action
    Apr 13 2025
    Good morning, anglers! Today is shaping up to be an exciting day for fishing in and around Lake Erie near Cleveland. Whether you’re venturing into the lake’s Central Basin or casting lines from nearby rivers and breakwalls, there’s plenty of action to look forward to.

    The weather today in Cleveland started cool but will warm up to the mid-50s with partly sunny skies, moderate winds from the southwest, and no significant rain predicted. Sunrise occurred at 6:51 AM, and sunset will be at 8:01 PM, giving you ample daylight for fishing. The current water temperature in Lake Erie is hovering in the low 40s, and while the water remains a bit cool, activity is heating up for several species.

    Steelhead fishing is still lingering in the tributaries like Rocky and Chagrin Rivers, though numbers are modest as the spring run winds down. With smallmouth bass actively moving into the rivers to spawn, you have a chance to score that sought-after “silver and bronze” combination by targeting both species. Jigs tipped with minnows or waxworms, crankbaits, and spinners are great choices for these conditions.

    On Lake Erie itself, walleye and yellow perch are proving consistent for boat anglers. Walleye are responding well to Husky Jerks and other jerkbaits like the DHJ-12 in various colors. Jigging with Z-Man Minnows and jerk shads is also effective, along with trolling medium-sized spoons. Yellow perch are being caught in good numbers at depths of 50-60 feet, especially near Cleveland’s artificial reefs and breakwalls—live minnows rigged near the bottom are a go-to tactic.

    For those looking to fish hotspots, the breakwalls along Cleveland Harbor, Edgewater Park, and E72nd Street have been hot locations for steelhead, smallmouth bass, and rock bass. Meanwhile, anglers seeking perch and walleye offshore should try near Ruggles Reef, Lorain, or Perry. If you prefer rivers, the Rocky and Chagrin Rivers remain strong options for smallmouth and steelhead.

    Recent catches include steelhead in the 28-29 inch range during local tournaments, with plenty of smallmouth bass starting to show up in catches near the river mouths. Yellow perch have been abundant, especially in the Central Basin, with decent sizes reported.

    As for bait, live minnows, waxworms, and nightcrawlers are versatile choices for various species. Meanwhile, artificial options like Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Flat Worms and drop-shot rigs continue to prove invaluable for smallmouth and walleye.

    Wherever you decide to fish today, make sure to stay flexible and adjust tactics based on water clarity and conditions, which may vary with recent wind patterns. Tight lines and good luck out there!

  • Walleye, Bass, and Steelhead Bite in Cleveland's Lake Erie Fishery - April 2025 Update
    Apr 12 2025
    Fishing Report for Lake Erie, Cleveland – Saturday, April 12, 2025

    Good morning anglers! Today is shaping up to be an exciting day for fishing around Lake Erie and the Cleveland area. Here’s your detailed fishing report to get you ready for a productive outing.

    The weather this morning starts chilly with temperatures around 45°F, but expect highs near 55°F later in the day. Winds are moderate at 10-15 mph out of the southwest, which could kick up some chop on the lake, so check conditions before heading out. Sunrise was at 6:47 AM, and sunset will be at 8:02 PM, offering plenty of daylight for your fishing adventures.

    Fish activity is promising across the region. Steelhead trout are still being caught in local tributaries, though the spring run is tapering off. Smallmouth bass are making a strong showing, particularly near the mouths of the Rocky and Chagrin rivers, where they are beginning to move in for spawning. Anglers are also finding success targeting yellow perch and walleye in nearshore areas and harbors.

    Recent catches have been impressive, especially for walleye, which remain plentiful due to robust hatches in prior years. Reports indicate anglers are hauling in 15 to 24-inch walleye, with occasional trophy-sized fish exceeding 28 inches. Yellow perch are also biting well, especially in areas like Ruggles Reef and Cleveland’s artificial reefs, with sizes up to 13 inches reported. Smallmouth bass action is strong near rocky shorelines and breakwalls.

    For bait and tackle, consider using crankbaits, jerkbaits, and spinners for smallmouth bass. Steelhead are biting on spawn bags, jigs tipped with maggots, and minnow-shaped crankbaits. Walleye anglers are finding success with Husky Jerks, jigging spoons, and Z-Man minnows worked near the bottom. Yellow perch are striking drop-shot rigs and spreaders tipped with minnows or worms.

    For hot spots, try the breakwalls near Gordon Park and Edgewater Park, which offer excellent access to walleye, perch, and bass. Another prime location is the Rocky River, especially at its mouth and near Emerald Necklace Marina, where smallmouth and steelhead are active. The Chagrin River also continues to produce quality catches.

    With fishable conditions, active fish, and ample daylight, today is perfect for hitting the water. Don’t forget to check the latest water conditions and pack your rain gear as afternoon showers are forecasted. Tight lines and good luck out there!
