Lake Erie perch have been the "best of my lifetime". 12 to 14 inchers for half of them. You can not use more than one rod. Best place to go out is the "Catt", get minnows there and head out to 55 to 70 foot water, look on the graph for fish within three foot of the bottom, not the ten foot schools of smelt. Worms in pieces work also. A couple weeks ago we came in with 400 perch for the week.

Use 8# braid with #6 snelled hooks, palomar knot, tied direct to the braid, no snaps or swivels, on a light action spinning rod and you are good to go. A 1/2 ounce sinker will get it down on the mud.

The perch have been better than the jumboes we caught on Coneseus Lake years ago. Carry lots of ice as you will be to tired to clean them when you get home, clean them tomorrow. Anchor rope is at least 200 foot to hold bottom in 70 foot of water.

I had a full knee replacement Tuesday so the fish are going to get bigger now. Well the neighbors went out today from Point Breeze and came in with 70 good perch. There you go.

Sturgeon Point boys are connecting also, due west of the point, 52to 55 foot of water. Plenty of minnows available at the local bait dealers. Get at least one dip per man.
