season opens on Ohio waters of Lake Erie. The daily bag limit is 5 and
the minimum size limit is 14 inches.** Western Basin *This past weekend (June 18 and 19) walleye and yellow perch fishing

Sister Island and east along the Canadian border. Drifting or trolling

Fish just off the bottom using perch spreaders tipped with shiners. Smallmouth Bass
The best smallmouth bass fishing has been around the Bass Islands,
Kelleys Island and Sandusky Bay. Largemouth bass have been caught in
