With Lake Erie not freezing over this year. Does anyone know if walleyes are being caught (in any numbers) putting in at Edgewater or near the ramp by E55th?
If so, how deep and what lures?
Any advice would be great.

Mornin' Gregg, welcome to the Forum. A pretty narrow window there, this Forum is international. You will have to tell us what city and state you are talking about. I would check with the local bait shop to see what they say.

The walleye run has not started yet.
The weather pattern is running about 3 weeks early. Soon soon soon.

Thanks for the reply. New boat here and excited to use it.
Heard today of a friend getting his limit in Huron after 3 hours. I saw the pics and they looked like nice size walleye.

Lake Erie is one of the Great Lakes. Ohio for me, but bordering Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan and Canada. It is the premier walleye capital.

On target walleye in email.
1. End of September-ish.
Check how scattered the fish are this time of year:
2. November-ish.
Start makin' the push back towards the western basin:
3. January-ish.
Erie doesn't always get fishable ice, but here's how congregated the fish get when the rest of us are in the heart of the ice season:
4. End of February-ish.
Get absolutely STACKED up when the rest of us are hitting the late-ice bite:
Makes me think I need to focus waaaay more on hittin' staging areas -- closer to where they spawn -- during the tail-end of the ice season.
I could not find the map but this is how they run.

I have gotten lucky here a few times fishing for walleye in Erie in Cleveland. I am not sure around the Toledo area near where I am from but they are biting. The walleye run is starting very soon so I am sure it will get much better then but you may have some luck getting a few right now. Good Luck!
