Lake Erie, Cleveland Fishing Report Today

Good morning anglers! Artificial Lure here, delivering your Lake Erie Cleveland fishing report for Friday, June 20, 2025.

Sunrise hit the lake at 5:53 AM, painting the sky with those classic Erie pinks, and sunset will roll in at 9:05 PM tonight, giving you plenty of fishable daylight. Weather-wise, we’re looking at temps in the mid-70s, light winds out of the northeast, and mostly clear skies—a real classic June day on the North Coast. Watch for a chance of a pop-up thunderstorm late this evening, but overall, conditions are prime for hitting the water.

High fish activity continues deep into June. Walleye are still the ticket—area anglers and Cleveland Metroparks report that limits are coming fast and furious if you’re on the bite. Best action is happening from 40 to 45 feet of water, trolling plugs and spoons on divers during the day. If you’re night fishing, focus on 7 to 15 feet of water with shallow-running plugs; after sunset, that old-school night bite comes alive with husky jerks and shallow cranks pulling good-sized eyes.

Yellow perch are starting to show up around the harbor mouths and near breakwalls from Gordon Park up to Wildwood. Bring spreaders or crappie rigs tipped with emerald shiners. According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the daily perch limit is 10 per angler in this Central Zone, so plan your cooler space accordingly.

Bass fishing is still solid with largemouths taking over from the smallmouths, especially in and around the main harbor and bay waters. Swimbaits, drop shot rigs, and jigs paired with soft plastics or minnows are currently producing best. FishUSA’s June reports confirm: if you’re after big largemouth, cast along weed lines inside the East 72nd Street Marina or tucked into the Rocky River’s mouth.

Steelhead and the occasional lake-run trout are possible near the river mouths, especially Rock and Chagrin Rivers. Trolling stickbaits and small spoons early in the morning is your best shot; sometimes you’ll nab a surprise lake trout as well.

Top baits: for walleye, go with minnows, leeches, or nightcrawlers. Lure-wise, try gold or chartreuse jigs, soft plastic paddle tails, or classic crankbaits like Bandits, Reef Runners, or Flicker Minnows. For perch, stick to emerald shiners. Largemouths are hitting on swimbaits and finesse plastics; green pumpkin or white colors seem to be the ticket right now.

Today’s recommended hot spots:

- The deep water edge off E 72nd Street—walleye are schooling heavy out there.

- The Gordon Park breakwall and harbor—perch and largemouth bass action has been hot.

- Rocky River mouth—mixed bag potential and perfect for a first light mission.

Remember, always check the latest lake conditions before heading out and wear a life vest. That big Erie chop can come up fast.

Good morning from the Lake Erie shoreline—this is Artificial Lure, bringing you your Cleveland area fishing report for June 18, 2025.

Sunrise hit us early at 5:52 a.m. this morning, with anglers already working the waters as birds broke the dawn quiet. Sunset tonight will roll in at 9:03 p.m., giving us a long stretch of productive light. Weather-wise, we’re looking at partly cloudy skies, temps in the mid-70s, and light winds out of the northwest—ideal for both boaters and those casting from shore. Lake conditions are reported fair to moderate—there’s a gentle chop, so keep an eye on sudden changes, especially as Erie can flip quick this time of year.

Let’s talk tides and water levels. While Lake Erie isn’t tidal in the ocean sense, slight fluctuations can alter nearshore fishing. Today, expect normal summer levels—just enough movement to keep baitfish in the shallows and predator fish on the prowl.

Fish activity is high as we head deeper into June. According to the Cleveland Metroparks and reports from area anglers, walleye are the big ticket right now. Daytime bites have been solid in 40-45 feet of water, with folks trolling plugs and spoons on divers pulling in limits by late morning. The night bite remains hot in 7-15 feet—trolling shallow plugs like the Bandit or Perfect 10 after dusk is the way to go, especially around rocky points and breakwalls. Don’t forget, the daily limit for walleye in Ohio waters is still 6 per angler, with a 15-inch minimum.

Yellow perch fishing is picking up, especially from the harbor entrances out to about 30 feet. Perch spreaders tipped with emerald shiners (live or salted, if you can get them) are all you need. Remember, perch limit in Central Erie, which covers Cleveland, is 10 per angler—so choose your spots wisely.

Bass anglers are seeing a mix of smallmouth and largemouth, with smallies slowing but largemouth getting more aggressive in the bays and along weedy edges. Drop shot rigs with smaller swimbaits, or jigs tipped with creature baits, are both producing well.

Steelhead season is tailing off, but you might still hook into a straggler near the mouths of Rocky and Chagrin rivers, especially on spoons or drifting spawn sacs.

As for hotspots: Edgewater Park and E72nd/Gordon Park are still top spots for walleye and perch. For bass, check out the marina mouths or target the breakwalls near East 55th—just be respectful of boaters and always wear your PFD.

Before you go, make sure to check weather updates, as Lake Erie’s mood can change in a hurry. And as always, practice good stewardship—pack out what you pack in, and keep our legendary lake thriving.

This is Artificial Lure with your June 15, 2025 Lake Erie Cleveland fishing report.

Lake Erie is kicking into high summer gear, and Cleveland-area anglers are reaping the benefits. We’re seeing classic June weather—expect daytime highs near 26°C (about 79°F), nights dipping to 14°C (57°F), and about nine hours of sunshine. Today’s forecast calls for steady conditions, but keep an eye on the sky as mid-month fronts can bring the odd pop-up shower or a bumpy lake. According to the National Weather Service, a ridge of high pressure is holding, so wave action should be moderate, but always check marine bulletins before heading out.

Sunrise this morning was at 5:53 a.m., and sunset will be at 9:03 p.m., giving plenty of daylight to chase a mixed bag.

The walleye bite remains hot all along the Cleveland shoreline. Both local guides and FishUSA’s June 9th report confirm anglers are landing limits from 40 to 45 feet of water during the day, with night bites happening closer to shore in 7–15 feet. Trolling deep-diving plugs and spoons behind divers has been most productive by day. At night, shallow plugs like Bandits or Smithwick Rogues are turning big fish close to breakwalls and near the mouths of the Cuyahoga and Rocky Rivers.

Yellow perch action is picking up in the harbors and lakefronts. Ohio DNR notes spreaders or crappie rigs tipped with emerald shiners are your best bet, with the daily limit set at 10 perch per angler in the Central Zone around Cleveland. Target rocky structure or traditional haunts like the east end of the Cleveland breakwall and near E. 72nd St. marina.

Bass fishing is still solid. Cleveland Metroparks and FishUSA both mention smallmouth and largemouth are being caught in good numbers in the harbors and river mouths. Try drop shot rigs or jigs rigged with swimbaits, especially early and late in the day. Remember, black bass possession is limited to one fish over 18 inches until June 21 per Ohio DNR regs, so catch and release is still the name of the game for most folks.

Steelhead reports are slowing, but you could still connect with a summer-run fish tight to harbor mouths or pierheads, especially early morning, by drifting spawn sacs or casting spoons. If you’re lucky, a bonus lake trout could be in the mix.

A couple hot spots to hit:

- The Cleveland breakwall, both east and west ends, especially for nighttime walleye and daytime perch.

- E. 55th Street Marina area—great for mixed-bag outings, especially walleye and smallmouth.

Best bait and lures:

- Emerald shiners for perch

- Deep-diving plugs and spoons for walleye in deep water, shallow crankbaits at night

- Swimbaits or drop-shot rigs for bass

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Erie and Cleveland fishing report for Saturday, June 14, 2025.

We’re waking up to classic early summer weather, with morning temps around 66°F and highs near 79°F by afternoon. Clear skies and a light southwest breeze make for a gentle chop—just enough to keep things interesting on the water. Lake Erie’s clarity is above average right now with little recent rainfall, and surface temps are sitting right at 63°F, perfect for sparking fish activity. Today’s sunrise hit at 5:52 AM and sunset won’t be until 9:05 PM, so you’ve got plenty of daylight to fill the cooler. Tides aren’t a major factor on a Great Lake, but keep an eye on wind-driven changes in water level, especially if you’re fishing from shore or the piers.

The walleye bite continues to be the main event out here. Reports from FishUSA and local captains say the best daytime action is in 40–45 feet of water, where trolling deeper-diving plugs and small spoons behind divers is putting lots of ‘eyes’ in the box. Limits are common for boats working that deeper contour. If you’re heading out after dusk, tie on bandits or stickbaits and troll in closer—7 to 15 feet near the Cleveland breakwall or off Edgewater is a hot ticket right now, with plenty of eaters reported.

If you’re a bass chaser, the action remains steady both in the bay and nearshore. Largemouth and smallmouth are going for drop shots, jigs rigged with swimbaits, and jerkbaits in baitfish patterns—white and silver are doing the trick as usual. Blade baits and jigging spoons are working great around drop-offs and channel edges, especially early and late when fish slide up shallow.

Don’t overlook yellow perch; the bite is picking up in the harbors and just off the Cleveland shoreline. Fish the spreaders or crappie rigs tipped with live emerald shiners—this is a classic and still the best way to boat a mess of slabs. According to the Ohio DNR, the perch limit in the central zone is 10 per angler—don’t forget to count your fish!

A quick reminder on limits: walleye is 6 per angler, minimum 15 inches, black bass is 1 fish over 18 inches until June 21, and trout or salmon is 2 per person with a 12-inch minimum. Always check the latest regulations and wear that PFD.

Hotspots to check out today:

- The 40–45 foot contour northeast of Edgewater Park for walleye

- The drop-offs at the mouth of the Cleveland Harbor for big smallies

- The inside of the breakwalls near Gordon Park for perch and bonus rock bass

Best baits? For walleye, try deep-diving crankbaits, smaller spoons, or stickbaits at night. Use jigs or swimbaits for bass, and live shiners on a simple rig for perch. Anglers trolling at night are pulling some bonus fish near shore, so stick around after sunset if you can.

Hey there, folks, it's Artificial Lure here, your go-to expert for all things fishing around Lake Erie and Cleveland. Today, June 14th, is shaping up to be a fantastic day on the water. With the sun rising at 5:54 AM and setting at 8:50 PM, we've got plenty of daylight to reel in some big catches.

Weather-wise, it's looking mostly sunny with a gentle breeze—perfect conditions for a smooth day on Lake Erie. As for tides, while Lake Erie doesn't have traditional ocean tides, the water levels can fluctuate slightly due to wind and atmospheric pressure, so keep an eye on those changes.

Recently, walleye fishing has been on fire. Anglers are reporting great catches during the day in 40-45 feet of water using plugs and spoons on divers. At night, the action heats up between 7-15 feet of water, with shallow plugs being the ticket. For walleye, minnows, leeches, and worms are top choices for live bait. Soft plastics, like grubs or paddle tail minnows, are also effective for those looking for a more hassle-free option.

Yellow perch are another story altogether. They're biting well in the Lake's harbors and near shore, especially when using spreaders or crappie rigs baited with emerald shiners. The gold #2 Swedish Pimple and Jensen egg lures are top picks for perch enthusiasts.

In the Cleveland Metroparks area, anglers are still catching stocked trout in places like the East Branch Rocky River and Wallace Lake. Channel catfish are also plentiful in these areas, especially in the Ohio & Erie Canal and Wallace Lake.

Hot spots to check out include the Rocky River for steelhead and smallmouth bass, and the Cleveland shoreline for walleye. If you're headed to Lake Erie, consider the Western Basin for walleye and the Central Basin for perch.

This is Artificial Lure checking in with your fishing report for June 14, 2025, on Lake Erie around Cleveland. The day looks promising with summer nearly in full swing — sunrise came up at 5:52 AM and sunset will be late at 9:05 PM, so plenty of daylight to get on the water.

Weather-wise, it’s a classic early summer setup: mid-60s at dawn warming into the upper 70s, fair skies, and a light southwest breeze keeping the water gently rolling but calm enough for most anglers. The lake temperature is sitting near 63°F, which is right in the sweet spot for fish activity. Water clarity is good too, thanks to below-average rainfall so far this month.

Fish activity report: walleye are still the headline species and biting well both from shore and boats. Anglers have been having the best luck targeting them in 40 to 45 feet of water, using deeper-diving plugs and small spoons behind divers during daylight hours. Come night, trolling shallow plugs like bandits and stickbaits around 7 to 15 feet off the Cleveland breakwall and near Edgewater has been producing consistent catches and even some limits.

Smallmouth bass are also active around the Cleveland waterfront and nearby bays. These bass are in various stages of the spawn—some postspawn out deep and others still hanging in shallower spots guarding fry or feeding aggressively. The key to success here is matching the local forage, which includes emerald shiners, baby perch, gobies, shad, and crawfish. Popular lures include jerkbaits, A-rigs, cranks, hair jigs, and soft plastics like drop shots, tubes, and swimbaits. Jigs with swimbaits or drop shot rigs are hot this time of year for bass around rocky shorelines and creek mouths.

Yellow perch fishing is shaping up nicely too, especially inside harbors from Cleveland westward. Use crappie rigs or spreaders baited with emerald shiners for the best action — just keep the daily limits in mind: 30 fish in Ohio’s West and East Zones, and 10 in the Central Zone.

A couple of hot spots to check out if you’re heading out today:

- The Cleveland breakwall and Edgewater areas for walleye trolling at night and some daytime jigging in deeper water.

- The Rocky and Chagrin Rivers for steelhead trout, using stickbaits, spoons, or drifting spawn and maggots under a float, with some chance of catching lake trout mixed in.

For bait, live minnows, leeches, and worms remain top choices for walleye, but soft plastics paired with jigs are excellent alternatives that add durability and action. Paddle tail minnows, shads, and grubs work great in the current conditions. For bass, match your lure color and size to local forage and consider heavier jigs or swimbaits for deeper water.

Tides don’t play a significant role here since Lake Erie is a freshwater lake with very minimal tidal influence, so focus more on wind and water temperature changes throughout the day.

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Erie and Cleveland fishing report for Saturday, June 14, 2025.

The sun came up bright at 5:53 AM this morning and it’ll set at 9:05 PM, giving you a full stretch of daylight to chase fish. The weather’s shaping up fair, with a mild breeze out of the northwest and highs in the low 70s. Water conditions are steady, and while Lake Erie doesn’t have true ocean tides, you’ll see some wind-driven surface movement, especially in the afternoon – just enough to put the fish on the feed.

Walleye remains the star of the show. According to FishUSA, catches are holding strong; most anglers are trolling plugs and spoons in 40–45 feet of water during the day, and if you’re a night owl, the shallow bite lights up with crankbaits in just 7–15 feet. The bite is hot, and folks are seeing easy limits, with most walleye running 17–22 inches, though some lunkers over 25 inches have come over the gunnel. Don’t forget the daily limit is 6 per person, minimum size 15 inches – Ohio DNR keeps us honest.

Yellow perch fishing has picked up from downtown Cleveland east to Fairport. Drop a spreader rig with emerald shiners or crappie rigs near the bottom in the harbors or along rock piles. According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Central Zone limit is 10 perch per person, but fish are nice-sized, and you can fill a cooler if you put your time in.

Largemouth and smallmouth bass are banging in the nearshore areas and in the river mouths. Bass are in post-spawn mode, feeding heavy. Most success has come on soft plastic swimbaits, drop shot rigs, and jigs tipped with a minnow. A few anglers working jerkbaits or blade baits off the East 72nd Street access and around the mouth of the Rocky River are getting into some chunky smallies – fish up to 4 pounds aren’t uncommon, especially early and late.

If you’re after steelhead, troll stickbaits or small spoons near the harbor mouths. You might even luck into a lake trout while you’re at it. Just remember, trout and salmon are a 2-fish-per-day limit at 12 inches minimum.

For lures, jigs and soft plastics are king for both walleye and bass, but don’t overlook live bait like minnows or leeches. For walleye, a jig tipped with a worm or a classic crankbait will do the job. For bass, mix up your retrieves and don’t be afraid to experiment with jerkbaits, especially if the bite slows, as noted by local pro reports.

Hot spots right now: hit the Cleveland breakwall and Gordon Park for walleye at night, and if perch is your target, Edgewater and Wildwood marinas are producing. For bass, try the mouth of the Rocky River and the riprap along East 72nd.

This is Artificial Lure coming to you with the Lake Erie Cleveland fishing report for Friday, June 13, 2025.

We’re waking up to classic early summer conditions on the Cleveland shoreline—the air’s starting off around 66°F, climbing to the upper 70s by afternoon with fair skies and just a gentle southwest breeze. Water temps are right around 63°F, and with minimal rain the past couple weeks, visibility is about as good as it gets. Sunrise was at 5:52 AM and you’ve got daylight all the way till 9:05 PM, so there’s plenty of time to chase your limit today. The lake’s got a comfortable chop but nothing too dramatic—perfect for both boaters and shore anglers, but always keep an eye on the forecast because Lake Erie’s moods can change on a dime (FishUSA, Spreaker).

Let’s get into the action: the walleye bite remains the star of the show. Anglers are reporting strong catches during daylight hours in 40–45 feet of water—most are running deep-diving plugs and small spoons behind divers, with Bandits and stickbaits being hot choices. As the sun sets, that bite slides in shallow; working 7–15 feet of water off the Cleveland breakwall and near Edgewater with shallow plugs will get you fish after dark. Boat anglers are seeing regular limits, and shore folks soaking crankbaits at dusk are doing well too (FishUSA, Spreaker, Ohio DNR).

Don’t overlook the perch—they’re starting to come on strong from Toledo to Cleveland. Emerald shiners on crappie rigs or spreaders are your best bet, especially if you want a shot at some jumbos. The limit is 10 perch in the Central Zone, so pick your numbers and enjoy that fry.

Bass fishing's still solid in the harbors and nearshore—both largemouth and smallmouth are active. Swimbaits and drop shot rigs are producing, but if you’re packing artificials, grab a Keitech Model 1 Jig paired with a creature bait or a River2Sea Bling Spinnerbait for flash. For the traditionalists, live nightcrawlers or crayfish fished near rocks and breakwaters will put you on big smallies (FishUSA, LakeErieTackleBox).

Steelhead are hanging near harbor mouths and tributary mouths. Trolling spoons or stickbaits, or floating spawn bags, will put them in the net, especially in the mornings when the water’s cool (Ohio DNR).

Today’s local hot spots? Try just outside the Cleveland harbor in 40-plus feet for walleye, or work the reefs at Edgewater at dusk. Inside the Cuyahoga breakwall, the bass and perch action is steady, with some bonus channel cats in the mix.

Remember, walleye limit is 6 per angler at a minimum of 15 inches, with black bass limited to 1 over 18 inches for the season. Stay safe, wear your PFD, and respect the lake.

Lake Erie, Cleveland Fishing Report – June 13, 2025

Good morning, fellow anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Erie and Cleveland fishing report for Friday, June 13th. Here’s what you need to know before heading out on the water.

Today’s sunrise came at 5:53 AM and you can expect sunset at 9:04 PM. The weather for the Cleveland waterfront is shaping up fair with partly cloudy skies, temps slowly climbing from the high 60s into the mid-70s through the day, and a light west wind making for a smooth ride early—but keep an eye out for the chance of bumps by late afternoon, as reported by FishUSA’s crew. Keep your weather apps close—out here, conditions can change quick.

Tides aren’t much of a factor on Erie, but water levels are holding steady and clarity is mostly good. That means it’s prime time to target multiple species.

Walleye fishing remains excellent right now. The daytime bite is strongest in 18-40 feet of water—start deeper as the sun rises, then look shallower after dusk. Most catches lately have been coming on deep-diving plugs and spoons, especially on divers. By nightfall, that hot walleye action slides into 7-15 feet; this is the time to troll shallow with stickbaits and crankbaits. According to both Cleveland Metroparks and FishUSA staff, targeting the city’s breakwalls and nearshore shoals with Bandits, Flicker Minnows, and Reef Runners is producing steady limits. Don’t forget, the Ohio daily bag is 6 walleye at a 15-inch minimum.

Yellow perch activity is starting to pick up too, particularly around the Cleveland artificial reefs and nearshore structure. Use crappie rigs or spreaders tipped with emerald shiners and focus on 20-35 feet of water. The daily limit in Cleveland’s Central Zone is 10 perch per angler—remember to check that regulation.

Bass are still going strong both in the harbor and along the Rocky and Chagrin river mouths. Drop shots and jigs with swimbaits are pulling in both largemouth and smallmouth, especially early or late in the day. The Ohio DNR reminds everyone the possession limit for black bass is 1 over 18 inches until June 21, so handle your catch with care.

Steelhead are lurking in the harbor mouths and river mouths, especially at first light. Try casting spoons, stickbaits, or drifting spawn under floats. Don’t be surprised if you run into a stray lake trout, too.

Hot spots today: Hit the Cleveland Harbor East and West Breakwalls for walleye and perch. Rocky River mouth is money for smallmouth, while the artificial reefs just off E. 72nd Street are great for mixed bags. If you’re looking for a change of scenery, Vermilion and Fairport Harbor both continue to kick out good numbers.

That’s the rundown for Lake Erie in Cleveland this June 13th. Thanks for tuning in—subscribe to stay up on the bite each week. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease dot ai.

Good morning, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Erie and Cleveland waterfront fishing report for Wednesday, June 11, 2025.

Today’s sunrise came right around 5:54 AM and you’ll have daylight until sunset at 8:59 PM—plenty of time to hit the water before or after work. Weather-wise, we’re looking at comfortable highs in the mid to upper 70s, with a few clouds and maybe a scattered shower, but nothing that’ll keep the diehards at home. Winds are moderate and should lay down through the day, keeping lake conditions pretty friendly except maybe a little chop in the afternoon. Water temperatures are holding steady around 62°F, which means fish are spreading out and feeding heavily after that late-spring cooldown.

Let’s talk action! This week, Lake Erie continues to prove why it’s the walleye capital of the world. According to FishUSA’s June 9 update, daytime boats are crushing walleye limits in 40–45 feet of water—try trolling deep-diving plugs or small spoons on dipsies or jet divers. At night, the hot bite is in closer, 7–15 feet, with shallow plugs leading the charge. There’s a solid mix of eater-size walleye and some real trophies showing up from the spring hatches. If you’re after that dusk-nighttime bite, tie on a stickbait and slow your troll right up along the breakwalls or just outside the harbors.

Bass fans, you haven’t been left out. Both big and smallmouths are stacked up, especially in the bays and rocky nearshore structure. Reports from clevelandmetroparks.com confirm solid numbers of smallmouth and largemouth coming from the east side (think Bratenahl, Gordon Park, and the mouth of the Rocky River) as well as the inner harbors—drop shot rigs, swimbaits, and the Keitech Model 1 Jig have been especially productive. Don’t forget to add a little Berkley PowerBait attractant for that extra edge.

Bait and lure selection? For walleye, you just can’t go wrong with live minnows, leeches, and nightcrawlers, but most folks are having success on crankbaits, soft plastics, and jighead combos as well—swap in paddle tail minnows or grubs for durability and action. Jigging works wonders, whether you’re vertical or casting to structure nearshore. The River2Sea Bling Spinnerbait and Megabass Vision 110+1 jerkbaits are hot for bass, especially along rocky points and drop-offs.

Hot spots today:

- The Cleveland Harbor breakwalls and E. 72nd Street ramp for fast walleye action, especially at first light and after dark.

- Rocky River mouth and Edgewater Park for bass, both largemouth and smallies.

- Nearshore reefs off Bratenahl for mixed bags and great scenery.
