hings were finally starting to settle down in our Great Lakes waters, but a big wind event earlier this week could shut things down for a few days. Hopefully by this weekend, anglers will have plenty of opportunity with less pressure as big game hunting kicks into high gear. There is a free fishing day on Nov. 11 to honor veterans.

Lake Erie and tributaries

Perch action continues to be good when you can get on Lake Erie says Capt. Joe Fonzi of Thumbs Up Charters. His most recent outing saw better than average-sized perch on the Canadian line out of Buffalo all the way to Point Abino, from 48 feet to 60 feet of water. Perch were happy to bite dropshot baits like flat worms and gulp minnows. Bass are set up in their fall haunts in 26 to 46 feet of water. Focus on anywhere there is drop off and scattered rock. Use tubes, dropshot rigs and Browndog Tackle A-rigs. Walleyes share bass structure and have been susceptible to jigging spoons and Jigging Raps. A lot of these walleyes are up off the bottom, so a high lift jig cadence has been the ticket according to Fonzi.
