Ibay 9/29

[Shakemsam]

Searched all the typical spots and even tried the lake. Not a bite! Thinking about trying Sodus next weekend.

Did Port Bay yesterday.  Terrible.  Water is still too warm.  67deg yesterday.  This weeks rain and dropping temps will get things going.

[Pequod1]

This time of year the water temp is the key. When the big lake turns over, it forces them in for short spurts of time throughout September. Last year, we really did not find any in the bay until temps were in the upper 50’s around mid month. I did find them last year in Fairhaven for the first two weeks of October and also Erie. Kept us busy until they showed up locally.

Any updates on the perch at ibay. Would love to give it a try. 

Thanks

Went this morning. Was slow and not to steady. 10 keepers in a little over 2 hours. Cold AF too.

Thanks!  

Never trying for peach before does time of day play a big factor?

[GAMBLER]

 Low light hours are usually better. 

[Shakemsam]

Fished most of the day ....3 fish.

Never seen it this slow.

[Jack]

Went out today......Great weather!

Fishing ...... not so much.

1st to 2nd week Nov

I think they usually pull one set and then leave the other set in for a few weeks longer....if my memory serves me.

[devoknevo]

They leave one dock in for a long time.

Anyone been out in a while?  was hoping to get out next week.  Wondering if it is worth it?

[Lucky13]

There were two boats south of Densmore, and one toward the deep hole at the North end, when I crossed the bay bridge yesterday about 11 AM.  It is that time of year!

[Shakemsam]

I was out between 11 and 2. 

No fish

We fished the bay yesterday from 7:30 till 11:00. Plenty of action on the small perch all morning. Finally found some good keepers later on our last stop. We caught one and it puked up a couple of 2" alewives. I didn't realize that any alewives spent time in the bays. Never thought that the perch were eating them either. Anyone ever hear of this?

[GAMBLER]

There are tons of alewife that spawn in the bay in the spring. There are also tons of gizzard shad in there.

Huh, never knew that. I knew about the gizzard shad but not the alewives. These must have been from the spring spawn.

Happy New Year!

 

anybody having any luck catching perch?

[Traveling Circus]

I fished Christmas eve and kept 17........... maybe 3 to one, fish to keepers.

[bosco]

Anyone getting any numbers? I'm having no problem finding fish. The sonar's lit up in some of the usual haunts. Getting them to turn on is another thing. Was out today 4/12 and Tuesday 4/7 and I'll I'm getting is a handful of milting males. I'm used to getting 40-50 in a day this time of year, not 4-5.

[GAMBLER]

Last Monday they were in 35-50’. Inside of that was all small fish. My buddy was out there two days later and they were still there but actively spawning and the bite was way slower. Very light bite for us. You had to leave the line slack or they would drop it.
