Last time I visited 31/22 I really went out there to catch perch and now you're telling me that they are in the bay.Now I understand why the only thing I caught there were steelies and salmon.

What is the lure of choice when perch fishing in the Bay? How big do they get?

The perch in the bay are anywhere between 4 and 14 inches.The bigger ones are usually at the bottom of the school.The trick is to get your bait/lure all the way down without having it attacked by the small ones.

I have good success with a small lure called "mini mite" usually tipped with a maggot or very small piece of worm.

As it gets colder,the perch move less and it is often a good idea to move over the school. That makes it a lot easier to feel the these often very light hits.
