  The fall season brings a great opportunity to get into some Perch & Crappie fishing. On Lake Erie in the east basin from Fort Erie to Maitland, good perch fishing happens from late Sept right up into early November when weather allows. The best areas typically is 45-60 FOW. As the water cools, the action gets better. You often need to move around to find them and as well to stay with them. While you can catch them on artificial like small plastics & jigging spoons, there's no doubt that Iive minnows are best. A double drop shot rig or a...

  Fishing Report Update - Sept 15 Over the next couple weeks we will ease into the fall transition.

As summer continues, does the great fishing action! On Lake Ontario there has been a big improvement on the number of Salmon & trout being caught lately. Locally from Grimsby to St Catharines, in 150 FOW - 220 FOW it has been very good of late. Good numbers of Chinook Salmon are being caught down 70-100 feet. Spoons, flasher/flies & herring (meat) rigs are working well. There are also many Rainbow Trout & Coho Salmon being caught higher up. Small & medium size spoons working best.     Over on Lake Erie the amazing Walleye fishing continues! Quick limits of...
