Chelsea Charters - Lake Erie Fishing Reports

  

   Lake Erie Fishing Report  5/23/2023 

  

  • The daily limit for walleye in Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 6 fish per angler. The minimum size limit for walleye is 15 inches.
  • The daily limit for yellow perch is 30 in the West and East Zones of Ohio waters of Lake Erie. The daily limit is 10 in the Central Zone of Ohio waters of Lake Erie.
  • The trout and salmon daily limit is 5 fish per angler. The minimum size limit is 12 inches.
  • Black bass (largemouth and smallmouth bass): The daily limit is 1 fish per angler with an 18 inch minimum size limit.

Walleye: Walleye can be caught in post-spawn areas. Finding relatively clean water and active fish has been key. Trollers are doing well with deep diving stickbaits, like bandits, and divers pulling spoons in 25-45’ of water. Trolling northeast of the reef complex and northwest of Kellys Island has produced the best catches, with some successful trips out of Huron, Vermillion, and Lorain. Leads 60-120’ back unassisted or 50-100’ back with 2-ounce snap weights have been working well at speeds of 1.6-2.0 mph. Walleye are mostly 18’’+ long, with plenty 26’’+ fish as well. Remember the daily limit is 6 fish, with a minimum size of 15 inches.

The water temperature off Toledo is 60 degrees, off Cleveland 55 degrees, and off Erie 53 degrees.

Anglers are encouraged to always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device while on the water.
