This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Erie Cleveland fishing report for Saturday, September 27, 2025.
We're waking up to a beauty this morning on our slice of the North Coast. **Today’s sunrise came at 7:03 AM and you’ll have good light until sunset at 7:58 PM.** Weather’s downright pleasant—sunny skies, a warm breeze, and barely a ripple from Mother Erie. The National Weather Service is calling for southwest winds under 10 knots, switching to light southeast as the day rolls on. Waves are “one foot or less,” and water temps off Cleveland are a perfect **70 degrees**—ideal for late September action. No rain or storms all weekend, so you anglers can plan to stay out on the water until your cooler’s stuffed.
With these mild lake conditions, the swim risk is low and the UV Index is high, so slap on some sunscreen before you head out.
Right now, Lake Erie’s walleye and yellow perch bite is *top shelf* according to Ohio’s fishing authorities. September always brings in full coolers, and this week has lived up to the hype. **Walleye** boats have been reporting limits before lunch in 40-50 feet between Avon Point and Fairport Harbor, with fish averaging 2 to 3 pounds. **Yellow perch** have been running thick off Edgewater and E. 72nd, especially if you anchor on deeper rock piles—double headers not uncommon. Smallmouth bass reports are solid from the breakwalls and around the mouth of the Cuyahoga, most in the chunky 2-4 pound range.
Hot lures right now: For walleye, local captains swear by **Bandit Deep Divers** and **Husky Jerks** trolled 40-80 feet back, especially perch-patterns in clear sun. If you’re jigging, a classic **green or purple hair jig** tipped with minnow takes the cake. Perch are nailing **emerald shiners** on crappie rigs just off the bottom; can’t go wrong with the classics. Smallies are hitting **drop-shot tubes**, green pumpkin and smoke being favorites, fished tight to rocky edges.
Top hotspots today:
- **Avon Point to Lorain:** 45-55 foot contours for walleye, troll just outside the mud line.
- **E. 72nd Street/Edgewater:** Anchor near deep structure; perch and smallmouth are loaded up.
- **Wildwood Marina:** Drag tubes for smallies on the boulder piles and breakwalls.
- If you want to avoid crowds, the **mouth of the Cuyahoga River** is solid for bass and the occasional bonus walleye.
Plenty of boats reporting easy limits and healthy sizes. If you’re fishing from shore, mornings have seen perch and smallies moving shallower—cast small jigs or live bait under a slip float.
A couple reminders: Today is National Hunting and Fishing Day, so expect friendly faces and maybe a few more folks than usual. Stay courteous, keep your area clean, and check the latest Ohio fishing regs before you hit the water—especially for perch and walleye bag limits.
That wraps up your Lake Erie fishing report for Cleveland and surroundings, September 27, 2025. Tight lines to all you anglers out there, and may your next fish be your biggest yet.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
