As of November 15, 2024, here’s a detailed fishing report for Lake Erie and the Detroit River:
### Weather and Tidal Conditions
Today, the weather in the Lake Erie and Detroit River area is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 48°F and a low of 38°F. Winds are moderate, coming from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Tides in the Detroit River are not as significant as in oceanic environments, but water levels can fluctuate due to wind and lake conditions. Currently, the water level is relatively stable.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is at 7:04 AM, and sunset is at 4:53 PM, providing a decent window for both morning and late afternoon fishing.
### Fish Activity
Walleye fishing has been a highlight in recent weeks on Lake Erie. According to Capt. Ross Robertson, a seasoned walleye angler, the fish have been active, particularly in the Western and Central basins of Lake Erie. Yesterday, anglers reported catching walleyes in depths ranging from 20 to 35 feet of water.
### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
Walleyes were the main catch, with some anglers also reporting catches of yellow perch, although the perch fishing has been slower. The walleyes are scattered throughout the water column, but more have been caught in the top 50 feet, especially with a north or northwest wind.
### Best Lures and Bait
For walleyes, trolling with reef runners and deep bandits has been highly effective. Jigging with minnows or using crankbaits in shad or baitfish patterns also yielded good results. For those targeting yellow perch, small jigs tipped with minnows or maggots are recommended.
### Hot Spots
- The Western Basin of Lake Erie, particularly around the islands north of the Black River launch, has been a hot spot for walleyes.
- The Detroit River itself, especially near the mouth and around the islands, has seen good walleye activity.
In summary, if you're heading out to Lake Erie or the Detroit River today, expect moderate weather conditions, and focus on trolling or jigging for walleyes in the specified depths and areas. Keep an eye on the wind direction, as it can significantly affect fish activity. Good luck on the water
