Western Basin
Walleye fishing was good in the western basin during the week of June 8. The best fishing continues to be around the island complex including north of North Bass Island, west of Rattlesnake Island, Gull Island Shoal, and north of Kelleys Island Shoal. Farther west the fishing has been good north of West Sister Island to the Canadian Line and around the gravel pit. Drifters are using bottom bouncers with worm harnesses or are casting mayfly rigs. Trollers were catching fish on crankbaits, worm harnesses fished with inline weights or bottom bouncers, and also on spoons fished with dipsy divers or jet divers.
Yellow perch fishing has been best off of Cedar Point and around Kelleys Island. Perch spreaders or crappie rigs with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish.
