Western Basin of Lake Erie
 |
The Western Basin of Lake Erie is the shallow flat basin that comprises the western third of the lake. Even with average depths of less than 25 feet, this part of the lake contains world-famous walleye fishing grounds with numerous charter fishing boats operating out of the U.S. states of Michigan and Ohio and the Canadian province of Ontario.
Captain Wade Renier is perhaps the best known walleye fisherman of all time. Consistently limiting out year around. It is said that he may own over 3000 fishing lures.
Wades boat F.V Farmhand is so successful due to the relentless will of first mate and back up captain Mike Randolph. Mike currently holds the IGFA record for white perch, an astounding 2.7 lbs.
