Walleye

Walleye fishing has been excellent from Vermilion to Cedar Point in 30 to 42 feet of water. Most anglers are trolling crankbaits with a few fish still being caught on worm harnesses. Walleye fishing has been sporadic on the piers at night, but some fish are being caught by casting shallow diving stickbaits. As temperatures drop walleye should continue to move inshore providing fall fishing opportunities through ice up when conditions allow.

Yellow Perch

Perch fishing effort is decreasing, but catches continue to be good in all the traditional spots around the islands and off of the central basin harbors. Perch spreaders with shiners near the bottom produce the most fish
