# Lake Erie, Cleveland Fishing Report

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Erie fishing update. It's late December, and conditions are prime for some solid walleye and yellow perch action around the Cleveland area.

**Current Conditions & Fish Activity**

We're in prime winter fishing season right now. Lake Erie's been producing some excellent results this year. The 2025 walleye hatch in the western basin came in strong at 128 fish per hectare—that's the sixth largest hatch we've seen in 38 years of surveys. Even better, the central basin walleye population is sitting at 26 young-of-year per hectare, we...

Artificial Lure here on the Cleveland lakefront with your Lake Erie fishing report.

We’re sliding deeper into early‑winter mode, and Erie is showing some teeth. The National Weather Service in Cleveland is calling for strong southwest to west winds 20 to 30 knots with gusts up to 35–40 and nearshore waves building 4 to 8 feet, even higher east toward Conneaut. Water temp off Cleveland is sitting right around 39 degrees. That means it’s big‑lake, big‑caution territory today, especially for small boats.

Sunrise this morning comes in around 7:50 local, with sunset just after 5:00, so your real productive window is th...

Artificial Lure here, checking in from the Cleveland lakefront with your Lake Erie fishing report.

We’re in classic early‑winter mode on Erie. The National Weather Service out of Cleveland has a Gale Warning up, with strong west winds pushing 30 to 40 knots and nearshore waves in that 5 to 10‑foot range, bigger offshore. Water temp off Cleveland is running about 37 degrees. This is serious big‑water – small boats should stay on the trailer or tuck way inside the harbors.

Sunrise came around quarter after eight this morning, sunset will be just after five. With the short daylight a...

This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Erie Cleveland fishing report.

We’re riding a brutal early-winter pattern right now. The National Weather Service in Cleveland has west winds cranking into gale territory on the open lake, 30 to 40 knots with 8–14 footers offshore and 3–6 footers still pounding nearshore. That’s basically a “stay off the big water” day for small boats. From shore, you’re dealing with icy rocks, blowing spray, and quick-changing lake levels, so cleats and a conservative attitude are mandatory.

Sunrise is right around 7:50 a.m. with sunset about 4:55 p.m., so you’ve got a tight dayl...

Artificial Lure here, checking in from the big pond off Cleveland, talking Lake Erie winter fishing.

We’re in classic late‑season mode now. According to the National Weather Service Cleveland marine report, nearshore winds are running southwest 15 to 25 knots with waves 3 to 6 feet and lake temp off Cleveland about 40 degrees, so it’s bumpy and cold. That’s small‑craft‑advisory stuff; only experienced boaters with big glass or deep Vs should be out, and most locals are tucking in close or fishing from shore.

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Lake Erie Cleveland fishing report.

Out on the nearshore this morning, the National Weather Service Cleveland marine forecast has strong west–northwest winds running 20–30 knots with a Small Craft Advisory posted and waves 5–8 feet, occasionally higher. That’s big water and not a day for small boats; most of the serious action is tucked inside harbors, rivers, and marinas.

Sunrise around Cleveland today is right about 7:45 a.m., with sunset near 4:58 p.m. Low winter sun, short feeding windows. Erie isn’t tidal, but we still get seiche swings with...

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Erie Cleveland fishing report for this chilly Sunday mornin'. We're deep in that classic early-winter pattern on the central basin—cold snaps, lake effect snow hammerin' the shore, and fish hunkered down but still bitin' if ya know where to look. NWS Cleveland reports northwest winds 15-25 knots today, waves 2-5 feet buildin' then easin', with snow showers lingerin' and temps in the teens to low 20s—dress warm, wind chills subzero. Sunrise around 7:45 AM, sunset by 5 PM, plenty of daylight but bundle up. No tides on Erie, but water temps off Clev...

This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Erie Cleveland fishing report.

We’re locked in a classic early‑winter pattern on the central basin. According to the National Weather Service Cleveland marine forecast, west winds are running 15 to 25 knots with waves building 3 to 6 feet offshore, and lake‑effect snow bands are firing up over the snowbelt. Nearshore, especially inside the breakwalls, it’s more manageable, but this is a *small‑boat‑with‑experience* kind of day.

Cleveland doesn’t have true tides, just seiche swings, so water levels will bob a bit with the wind, but no real tidal cu...

This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Erie Cleveland fishing report.

Nearshore this morning, the National Weather Service Cleveland marine forecast is calling for light west winds 5 to 10 knots, shifting to southwest later, with waves running 1 to 3 feet and water temps off Cleveland right around 40 degrees. Skies are mostly cloudy with passing lake-effect snow showers in the region, and local outlets are talking about clipper systems keeping things cold with highs in the 30s and a biting west wind. It’s classic December steelhead and walleye weather—cold, but fishy if you dress for it.

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Lake Erie Cleveland fishing report.

We’re locked in full-on winter mode along the south shore. According to the National Weather Service Cleveland marine forecast, nearshore winds are running southwest 15 to 25 knots with waves 2 to 4 feet, building at times with passing snow showers. Water temp off Cleveland is hanging around 41 degrees, and with these stiff winds and off-and-on snow, it’s small‑craft‑advisory territory. Shore and protected-harbor fishing are the safer play.

Sunrise is right around 7:40 a.m., sunset about 4:55 p.m. Here in December your best bite windo...

Alright, listen up, folks. It’s Artificial Lure here with your Lake Erie bite report out of Cleveland, and it’s a cold one this morning.

Offshore, winds are northwest 15 to 20 knots, waves 3 to 5 feet, occasionally around 6. Water temps are in the mid-30s near Toledo, low 40s off Cleveland, and around 4...

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Lake Erie Cleveland fishing report.

We’re sitting on a light southwest flow this morning along the nearshore, about 5–15 knots with 1–2 footers, according to the National Weather Service marine desk out of Cleveland. Water temp off Cleveland is hanging in the mid‑40s, cool but not frigid, which keeps late‑season fish moving. Skies are mixed clouds with a couple of weak disturbances sliding through, so expect scattered flurries inland and a gray ceiling on the lake more often than not. Sunrise is right around 7:40 a.m., sunset roughly 4:55 p.m., giving y...

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Erie, Cleveland report, talking straight like we’re leaning on the rail at Edgewater before sunup.

Water temps off Cleveland are sitting around 43 degrees, so it’s cold‑water tactics only.

Air temps are staying on the cold side with a passing front, scattered flurri...

Winds are light out of the south this morning and Lake Erie off Cleveland is laying down to 1 to 3 feet, with surface temps around the mid‑40s, so it’s cold but very fishable if you dress for it. Air temps are sitting just above freezing and climbing a bit through the day under mostly cloudy skies, with only a slight chance of light snow or drizzle later. Sunrise is right around 7:40 a.m. with sunset near 4:55 p.m., so that first and last hour of light will be your best window.

Walleye are still the main story alon...
