Maumee River
We had a great weekend on the river. Saw Multiple 20lb and larger catfish caught-Reports of a few 40 pounders caught as well.  Multiple species  were caught all weekend. Gar, smallmaouth bass, bluegill, and a few white bass .
Not a whole lot to it in the river this time of year, throw out a night crawler or a live crawfish(which we have in stock) and hang on! Â Also tghe chatterbaits and any craintbait resembling a minnow or crawfish are working really well. The low water level allows for fishing and wadeing just about any area that you chooose/
Lake Erie
August is a prime month on Lake Erie.  Lake Erie’s western basin walleye fishing continues to be excellent. Offshore trolling trips over 10 miles are the norm, fishing with crawler harnesses, body baits and spoons rigged off dipsy divers, wire line and planer boards.  Perch are begining to concentrate and being caught.
September -Perch fishing on Lake Erie gets into full swing.  You will continue to catch walleyes into October, though not as fast paced as the prime summer months, as they are on their migratory moves. We begin to see steelhead trout show up near shore!  Whether you choose perch or walleye you should do well on your trip.
October fishing duplicates September’s as long as gale force winds do not force you off the water. Depending on their geographic location you can catch steelhead trout, as well as excellent charters for yellow perch.  Depending on mother nature sometimes walleyes park themselves along the shoreline, and the shore /pier fishing can be awesome.
