Yep, about a 2 hour drive outside of Windsor, head south from Rodney .... you'll need a boat to get to the larger ones

Hey Hey... The CanadaGator is back!!! 

You don't have to drive to Port Glasgow... If you are closer to Chatham-Kent then take the drive out to Erieau and fish the perch either off of the lighthouse pier or off of the old coal docks opposite the marina.  The perch seem to be all over right now and they are hungry... If you're closer to Tilbury area then just go out to Wheatley. Either way it's Lake Erie and you can't miss when the perch are biting they are biting... And right now it's "GAME ON!"

Remember to catch your limit but limit your catch.  Let's leave a sport fishery for our future generations!

Thanks Dok ang CG for the tips....as for Pickeral, I went down to the spot by the bridge and one fellow had a nice 2-3 lb'er on a stringer, but mostly just silver bass and perch. Unfortunatley, I wasn't fishin..(gasp)..lol..just driving by there. For the record, my dad...who has since passed away, would roll over in his grave if I ever called a Pickeral a W...WALL...I cant even type it...lol. He was oldschool, and he was an avid angler as well. I was told at a young age that .."We are Canadian...We call them Pickeral"...I actually looked into this and the proper term was the "W" word....but it might have been an American article....Ohh well, thats my Fathers day tribute to my dad whom I miss greatly....

Hey Schwen ... that's what I've been hearing too .... prime time for perching!


By the way, I'm from that school too! hahaha If I'm out and about and sit down for a meal at a local restaurant, I order  "Pickeral", oven baked or pan fried with lemon on the side .... Mmmmmm, Mmmmm a tasty treat. Depending on where I am, I've got some pretty strange looks if I ordered walleye .... So, you learn to adapt eh! "Eyes - pickeral" .... "Pot(eh)toe, Pot(a)toe lol


Thanks again for update and Catch a Monster ... looking forward to some pics from ya!

Hey Schwen,
Been reading reports that the silverbass have now moved out to Lake Erie and that the (walleye) pickerel are now accessible in deeper waters of the river .... between Celeron and and Horse islands.
Any updates would be appreciated .... Thanks ~Dokdok

Hey Schwen,
Just back from a trip down to Windsor/La Salle. On a drive, and food too....lol - the fisherpeople are picking off the walleye/pickeral between Bo Lo and Fighting Island.
From another reliable source; just past Belle Isle (Lauzon Rd/Riverside Dr) then heading toward Lake St Clair - look for the old Riverside brewery building Canadian side - you'll see it from the river - slow troll - 2/3 knots max - bottom bouncers - Live Bait only - who knows - give it a shot - *Great spot for me - produced in the past,
Good Luck, stay safe,
bobby
