  • Lake Erie Fishing Report: Walleye Bonanza, Smallies Abound, and River Steelhead Linger

    Lake Erie Fishing Report: Walleye Bonanza, Smallies Abound, and River Steelhead Linger
    May 24 2025
    Artificial Lure here, bringing you the Lake Erie and Cleveland area fishing report for Saturday, May 24th, 2025.

    Let’s start with today’s weather. We’re expecting a mild spring day around Cleveland, with lingering clouds early and temps rising into the low 70s. Winds should be manageable, but do keep an eye on the lake breeze kicking up around noon. The water is a bit stained in places from recent rain, but rivers like the Rocky and Chagrin are clearing up and are in good shape for now, though more rain is in the weekend forecast. Sunrise was at 5:56 am and sunset will be at 8:45 pm, so there’s plenty of daylight for you to wet a line.

    Right now, fishing pressure is up and for good reason. Lake Erie is living up to its reputation as the Walleye Capital of the World. Limits of walleye are coming in left and right. Most catches have come trolling with crankbaits or worm harnesses in 20 to 30 feet of water off Edgewater and Gordon Park. If you’re up for a mixed bag, you’ll also find yellow perch in the west zone, though numbers are lower east of Cleveland and the daily limit has just dropped to 20 in that stretch. The western basin is still hot though, and you can fill a cooler if you work at it[4].

    Along the lakefront and in the lower stretches of the rivers, the smallmouth bass bite is excellent. The lake-run smallmouths are in, with lots of fish over 18 inches reported. Tube jigs in olive, Ned rigs, and smaller crankbaits that mimic shad or goby patterns are the reliable producers. There are still a few lingering steelhead in the rivers, but that's winding down fast. If you want to go for the “silver and bronze” double, now’s the time: a big smallie and a bonus steelhead in the same morning is a real possibility on the Rocky[1][2][3][5].

    Best bait for smallmouth are soft plastics—ned rigs or tubes—and for walleye, try trolling Bandit or Flicker Minnow crankbaits in perch or firetiger patterns, or drifting worm harnesses with bright blades. Minnows and leeches will work for perch if you can find a school.

    For hot spots, check out the Edgewater breakwall or the mouth of the Cuyahoga for a crack at walleye and smallies. Inside the mouth of the Rocky River and along the E 72nd St. marina are also producing well for bass. If you want some sheltered fishing, the marinas and harbor mouths can be great, especially as water clarity improves.

    That’s the rundown for today. Get out early, beat the storms, and good luck out there. Fish on!

  • "Walleye and Smallmouth Slam on Lake Erie's Cleveland Shoreline"

    "Walleye and Smallmouth Slam on Lake Erie's Cleveland Shoreline"
    May 23 2025
    Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Friday, May 23rd fishing report for Lake Erie and the Cleveland shoreline.

    The weather over Lake Erie today is shaping up nicely for a day on the water. Conditions are stable and should remain mostly dry, with moderate winds and temperatures expected in the comfortable spring range. Sunrise hit around 5:57 AM and sunset will be at 8:49 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to work the water. There is no significant tidal effect on Lake Erie, but pay attention if we get more rain, as local rivers like the Rocky and Chagrin can rise and turn muddy pretty quickly, impacting clarity near river mouths.

    Recent fishing around Cleveland has been outstanding, and the lakefront is delivering the goods. Walleye fishing is still in full swing—anglers are catching solid numbers, with Central Basin catches including good eaters and the occasional trophy. Best bets for walleye have been trolling with deep-diving crankbaits, especially in natural shad or perch patterns, as well as harness rigs tipped with nightcrawlers. Early mornings and late evenings are producing the best bite as fish move into shallower water to feed.

    Smallmouth bass are also showing up in numbers along the lakefront, rocky points, and river mouths. Most fish are running between 3 to 4 pounds, with some pushing five. The highlight remains the lake-run smallmouth bite—these hard-fighting bronzebacks are crushing tube jigs (three-inch olive has been hot), Ned rigs, swimbaits, and spinners. A few steelhead are still mixed in, especially in the East Branch of the Rocky River, though that run is winding down.

    Mixed bag action is strong—anglers are reporting yellow perch, the odd channel catfish, and bonus white bass, especially near current seams or river mouths.

    For bait, nightcrawlers and emerald shiners are your best natural bets for walleye and perch. For bass, stick to artificial lures: tubes, Ned rigs, and minnow-mimicking swimbaits are working best. Streamer flies that look like gobies or shad will also draw bites, especially for fly anglers.

    If you’re looking for hot spots today, try the Cleveland Harbor breakwalls, the E72nd Street access, Edgewater Park, or the mouth of the Rocky River. The Cleveland Metroparks and river mouths have all been producing.

    Take advantage of the conditions before any rain moves in and muddies things up. Good luck and tight lines from Artificial Lure—see you on the water!

  • Smallmouth Bonanza and Walleye Delight: Fishing the Cleveland Lakefront on a Spring Day

    Smallmouth Bonanza and Walleye Delight: Fishing the Cleveland Lakefront on a Spring Day
    May 21 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Lake Erie and Cleveland fishing report for Wednesday, May 21, 2025. Spring has been treating anglers to steady action, and today’s shaping up to be another solid day on the water.

    Sunrise was at 5:58 AM, with sunset coming at 8:47 PM. Weather-wise, expect mostly cloudy skies early, with the possibility of rain and some wind building up through the afternoon. Water remains in good shape for now, but if the rain picks up like forecasted, rivers could get a little stained, so it’s wise to hit your spots early.

    In terms of lake activity, smallmouth bass continue to steal the show along the Cleveland lakefront and in nearby rivers like the Rocky and Chagrin. The bite has been strong, both in the rivers and out into the bays and near-shore shallows. Anglers are landing excellent numbers of lake-run smallies, with a few steelhead still hanging around the river mouths—always a bonus for anyone looking for that “silver and bronze” combo in a single outing. Walleye fishing is good just off the shoreline in the evenings, and the day bite is picking up for those trolling deeper[1][2][4][5].

    Best lures for smallmouth right now are 3 inch olive tube jigs, Ned rigs, medium crankbaits that mimic shad or goby, and spinnerbaits. Don’t shy away from tossing streamer flies if you like to fly fish—anything resembling a minnow will get hit. For walleye, stick to jigging or casting with blade baits and swimbaits, or troll with deep-diving crankbaits as the bite gets stronger in the evening.

    If you’re targeting trout, the East Branch Rocky River and local ponds like Wallace and Shadow Lakes are stocked and producing well on PowerBait, trout worms, and small spinners[1][2].

    Recent reports have anglers catching mixed bags—smallmouths in the three to four pound range are common, with some pushing five pounds. Walleye have been solid, with several fish in the 18 to 24 inch class landed near the Cleveland breakwall and east towards Euclid. A few leftover steelhead are still striking in the faster river water, especially after a rain.

    For hotspots, try the mouth of the Rocky River and the breakwall off Edgewater Park for smallmouth. For walleye, the stretch between Gordon Park and Wildwood Marina has produced well during the evening bite. Don’t overlook the harbors and feeder creek mouths if the wind is up.

    That’s the scoop for today. Get your gear ready, check the latest weather, and hit the water early to beat the rain. Tight lines from Artificial Lure.
