Steelhead Alley (SA) is a place, while Fish Steelhead Alley (FSA) is a Website resource that provides information to anglers planning to visit and fish that area.  The content of this Website addresses your need for fishing reports, weather conditions, and pre-trip information to help you plan ahead.

The concrete piers that flank the entrance to Presque Isle Bay are producing decent catches of smallmouth bass and a few largemouth.  Good catches of the much maligned sheepshead are available also.  These fish are hitting soft plastic lures and live bait.  Sheepshead fight hard, and they weight on average about 3-8 pounds.  You can see from the photo and short video clip that the weather and fishing are perfect for a family outing or teaching youngsters how to fish.

Perch fishing success varies from day to day, and the hunt goes on to find large schools of perch in the deeper waters of Lake Erie.  So far, anglers have not located any sizable schools of perch so the “hunt” goes on.

Speaking of perch, a new state record  was set this past March by Erie angler Jeffery Matts. The new record is a 2 pound 2 ounce perch that measured 15 3/8 inches.  Matt was fishing in Presque Isle Bay in 11 feet of water.  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
