Lake Erie Erie, PA Walleye Baits

Conditions: morning, shore

For morning walleye from shore on Lake Erie, focus on jerkbaits, crankbaits, and jigs that mimic shad and baitfish — walleye are active feeders in low-light conditions and will chase moving presentations along the rocky Erie shoreline. Work crankbaits and jerkbaits parallel to shore in the early light, then drop down to jigging as the sun rises. Shad, smelt, and glow finishes are top producers in these waters.
