Lake Erie Perch 2015

[Pequod1]

Nice catch again.  I hate it when I drive 100 miles only to find that Millers has no bait. The goldens work, but I think that I lack confidence in them.  Does anyone know if the cleaning station is operational at the Hanover launch?  How about the SBH? Thanks

The golden shiners did not work as well as emerald shiners.Hanover c leaning station was not open this Saturday, not sure about SBH.

Emerald Shiners at Huntley Power Station Outflow, by boat!

Where are they??? Went Sat. from 10 till 7 out of the Catt. Took a bit to calm down and make the run out.  From Evangola st park to silver creek, 52-63 ft, no perch to be found.  Anyone else even tried?

[Pequod1]

Kind of disappointing.  I noticed a lack of emerelds out there the last time we went. Could be a reason they scattered. Also, there was a big temp change in the lake last Thursday that did not help. Did you notice any boats out there anchored up?  Looks like it finally will settle down enough for me to try by Thursday. See what I can find.

[oleanjeff]

No boats out there at all, it was like we didnt get the memo!  After a couple hours looking for them one boat came out by us, gave them a thumbs down and they went looking as well.  Good luck, let me know if you find em!

Move over by Windmill Point to 50 ft hole!

Canada ?

Yep...buddies were scouting eyes in Canadian waters Sunday and marked lots of perch with nobody fishing them.

I have observed schools of fish at depths approaching eighty feet lately. The problem is the perch fishermen are reluctant to travel there. After this weeks Conservation Club Derby I will devote some effort out there.

Perch were tough to find this week. Only one pod ten feet deep was found but the bite was not on. Three trips out and a zero catch with goldens the only bait availablðŸ‹

One boat came in from the 39/13 quadrangle with forty eight perch. Seventy two foot of water and deeper water showed few fish yesterday.

Had a friend hit them yesterday out of the Cat in 60'. Not sure if he was west or straight out if that helps.

Yesterday fifteen boats were anchored up in a pack on the drop off at Evangola Park bar. No reports of catches though.

Ended up with 44 fishing off the cat. Ran out of Goldie's.

My friends limited at the Cat yesterday. Millers did not have bait so they went home and got some fatheads and salted niagaras. They really turned on at 2:00  They said the graph was thick with bait. I guess the reason for the slow start was the lack of bait until just recently.

Many boats anchored out of sturgeon this afternoon. Not sure how they did. We did 2 big ones but pulled the anchor to keep the kiddos from rocking around to hard and drifted for a while. Never really saw a "big" school on the graph. My little one doubled on white bass on her perch rig. Everyone hates those things but they do put smiles on the little ones faces. Probably give it another go Friday.

That is the best fishing picture I have seen on here in a while.  Brings back memories.

Silver bass were ten foot solid on the bottom in forty foot the other day. We should try them as after the blue pike disappeared the silver bass were all we had.
