I Bay Perch

[BP Swing]

Went there on Friday. It was dismal compared to years past. Got maybe a dozen. The fish just didnt seem to be around. The guy at the bait shop said the ice season was the worst ever for perch. Im wondering if it is too early or water too cold 43 or what the heck happened. Maybe it was me. Has anyone done anything with perch this spring? (there was 2 whole boats fishing for them on Friday, that tells me something). Maybe its too early.?? Any good reports from I bay?

A customer of mine was out Friday and they caught 0 perch. 1 brown trout by default.

I think it is still a little early. I have been fishing Long Pond with a very slow bite. Off to Seneca tomorrow

Same here, got maybe 5 out of long pond, and no bullhead... Killing the trout tho

I got 10 out of long pond in a couple hours on Tuesday and they seemed to be spawned out. Seemed bizarre but there was no evidence like normal when I cleaned them

Fished Long Pond this am 8-12 and brought back 5 perch. 4 males and one already spawned out and saw no females caught. I think it's done. Saw no walleyes on shore either.
