Lake Erie Erie, PA Walleye Baits

Conditions: boat, morning

For walleye on Lake Erie out of Erie, PA in the morning from a boat, focus on trolling crankbaits along the thermocline and jigging with soft plastics or blade baits in likely structure. Shad-colored and natural-toned crankbaits are classic Erie producers in the morning light, while jig-and-soft-plastic combos work well vertically over reefs and humps. Match your depth to where fish are holding and vary trolling speed until you dial in the bite.
