It’s shaping up to be a great week of fishing around Lakeside Marblehead, with Lake Erie offering up a healthy mix of walleye, smallmouth bass, and perch. The weather has been steady, the water is warming, and anglers are reporting solid action both by boat and from shore.

Walleye fishing continues to be the main draw, and the bite has been reliable in 20 to 35 feet of water just off the Marblehead Peninsula. Trollers are doing well running Bandits and Flicker Minnows about 40 to 80 feet back, targeting suspended fish with leadcore or dipsey divers. Colors like chrome, purple, and firetiger have been standout producers. Evenings and low-light hours are especially hot, with plenty of keepers in the cooler.

Yellow perch are starting to make more of an appearance, especially near traditional hotspots like the Marblehead Lighthouse, Kelleys Island Shoal, and the waters around Green Island. Perch spreaders tipped with emerald shiners are the go-to, and anglers are having better luck anchoring and staying patient while the schools move through.

Smallmouth bass action is solid along the rocky points and nearshore structure. Tube jigs, drop shots, and small swimbaits are working well in 10 to 20 feet of water. Kelleys Island and the reef complexes nearby are holding some quality fish, with mornings seeing the best bite window before the lake gets busy.

Overall, Lakeside Marblehead is offering a well-rounded fishing experience this week. Whether you’re chasing a limit of walleye or looking for hard-fighting bass, the lake is giving up some great days on the water. Be sure to check local wind conditions before launching, and enjoy the action Lake Erie has to offer!
