Blade Fishing Report: 8/18

■ Lake Erie: The walleye anglers are having some success southeast of “K” can of the Camp Perry firing range, according to the experts at Netcraft, who also recommend working the waters between North Bass Island and Gull Island Shoal. Most walleye anglers are trolling or casting harnesses tipped with night crawlers. Wildwood Anglers guide Brad Dunkle reported taking some keeper-size walleye while casting diving crankbaits at night off Middle Bass Island. On the yellow perch front, the Netcraft pros suggest trying around the Toledo water intake, south of Kelleys Island or west of Catawba State Park. A weighted spreader tipped with emerald shiners and fished near the bottom is the go-to approach for taking Lake Erie perch. Dunkle said he found some decent numbers of perch in the waters between Rattlesnake and Green islands, using spreaders with goldies.
