LAKE ERIE

Most anglers are reporting limits and nice fish.
Light SW winds today should make for a great day to be on the lake.
Trollers:
Bite has been consistent and producing some great catches, even when the conditions are not great. Pockets of cleaner water and mud lines are giving up a lot of fish.
K Can and area around Locus still sound like they are a good bet, Contour lines off Crane Creek to the intake, as well as Niagara to B can have all produced. Look for mud lines as the water clarity continues to improve.
Drifters/Jiggers:
Reports of limits being pulled right out in front of Turtle Creek, Wild Wings Channel and K Can jigging. Some have switched to crawlers and bottom bouncers and casting weight forwards.
Reports of fast two or three drift limits.
Crib reef, Toussaint, Turtle, and Locus also mentioned in reports as well, work them slow with hair jigs, and the crawler harnesses.
Perch:
Reports have been slow to come in but what we have gotten have been mostly at A-Can
