Camp Perry was the place to be today.
Saw a large group of boats to the west of H can, so that is where I started.
12 walleye, one 18 incher, lost a keeper at the boat the rest were 12-14 inches.
did catch 1 catfish, 6 sheep head, 4 small white perch, but no yellow perch.
drifting with a bottom bouncer with a gold blade and a crawler, and also a gold erie dearie.
I did see a lot of fish being caught, and returned to the lake.

There were three of us today.
Started at H can with golden's, nothing, did have some bites.
Went to G can area, 43 yellow perch.
Fish averaged out to 9 pounds per 30, very nice quality.
All on spreaders and no bling.
Went back to H can to finish the day drifting for maybe a walleye, caught this boat anchor~! and some rope~!
Any way a very nice day hope to get at it soon. Fish on and tight lines~!

G can today, 10 walleye, two keepers one 22 and one 18 inches.
4 large catfish, 4 yellow perch, 2 sheep head and 4 white perch.
I use a bottom bouncer with a spreader and two blades, one gold and one sliver, and a night crawler, for drifting.
This bottom bouncer rig catches everything~!
Caught the walleye keepers on a gold erie deerie.
It was overcast, then sunny, then back again.
Drift was .5 to .8 mph, very nice for the lures.
Back at it soon.
Until then keep it tight so you can feel the bite~1

Sunday 7/16/18
G can, many perching, and some trolling.
12 nice yellow perch, 15 short walleyes and one keeper.
I think mother nature was telling us to go perching and do not drift~!
The perch are full of mayfly's and I did find a small gobie in one of the perch.
Nice day, will be back soon with some perch fishing in mind.

Caught one walleye short and a sheep head.
spent the last hour drifting, caught 6 more perch drifting (returned unharmed) and an 18 inch walleye.
the lake was very nice today, cool wind from the north and not much bounce.
we used golden's for bait, and not a problem
a record was made today on the dog, 5 doubles in a row, very nice.
18 pounds at the cleaners for those nice yellow perch.
