Seasonal Highlights and Hotspots for Lake Erie Anglers
Lake Erie Community Park - Erie, PA
Lake fishing in Pennsylvania’s section of Lake Erie is heating up as spring transitions into early summer. Anglers are seeing strong action, especially in the shallow waters near Presque Isle Bay and the surrounding shoreline. Yellow Perch are active in 25-35 feet of water, hitting on emerald shiners and small jigs. Early mornings have been especially productive for filling coolers.
Walleye fishing is also gaining momentum with anglers trolling crawler harnesses and crankbaits around 40-50 feet. As water temperatures continue to rise, expect the bite to pick up even more throughout the coming weeks. Smallmouth Bass are staging along rocky points and breakwalls, making them easy targets for those using drop shots and soft plastics. With calmer conditions and clearer water, now is a great time to plan a trip and enjoy some of the best lake fishing Lake Erie, PA has to offer.
