サマリー
あらすじ・解説
As of October 27, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Erie and the Detroit River is quite vibrant despite the transitioning seasons.
### Weather and Tidal Conditions
Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 45 degrees. The winds are moderate, blowing at about 10 mph from the northwest. Tides in the Detroit River are relatively stable, with a slight rise in the morning and a drop in the evening, which can affect fish movement.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 7:53 AM, and sunset is at 6:15 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a decent amount of activity, particularly for walleye and yellow perch. Anglers reported catching walleye in the 2-4 pound range, with some larger ones up to 6 pounds. Yellow perch were abundant, with many catches in the 10-12 inch range.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Walleye were the main catch, with several reports of successful trolling and jigging. Yellow perch were also plentiful, especially in the shallower areas of Lake Erie. Some anglers also caught smallmouth bass and northern pike, although these were less common.
### Best Lures and Bait
For walleye, the best lures have been deep-diving crankbaits and jigging spoons, particularly those in shad or minnow patterns. Live bait such as minnows and nightcrawlers have also been effective. For yellow perch, small jigs tipped with maggots or meal worms have been the go-to choice.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots has been the western basin of Lake Erie, particularly around the islands and reefs. The Detroit River, especially the areas around the Ambassador Bridge and the Trenton Channel, have also been producing good catches. Another spot worth trying is the mouth of the Maumee River, where walleye and perch tend to congregate.
Overall, it's a great time to be out on the water, with comfortable fall conditions and active fish. Just make sure to dress in layers and be prepared for the changing weather. Good luck out there
