Walleye
If you're chasing walleye, Toledo, Ohio, puts you right in the heart of Lake Erie's walleye country. The Western Basin of Lake Erie is renowned for its massive walleye population, and Toledo provides excellent access. Spring and fall are peak seasons, coinciding with walleye spawning migrations and feeding frenzies. Trolling is a highly effective method here, particularly with crankbaits and worm harnesses. Pay close attention to water temperature and clarity, as walleye will often congregate in areas with optimal conditions. A local hotspot is the area around the Toledo Harbor Light. Also, be aware of the daily catch limits and size restrictions, as they are actively enforced to maintain the health of this incredible fishery. Strong winds can make the lake treacherous, so always check the marine forecast before heading out.
