Fairport / Mentor Walleye & Perch?

[chardoncrestliner]

Well, if the weather is good, I'll be going out also on both days.

I have a season pass to put out of the Fairport Harbor Port Authority on Water Street and I usually stop at the bait shop just off 2 heading north.

Don Moore or one of his staff typically give me "very good" fishing reports as to where the perch and walleye are hitting.

Or, if that doesn't work, just do what everyone else does and is to follow the water to the largest concentration of boats.

That's where the fish are at!

Went out last night N.E. of Fairport started in 67 FOW after being told taht's where they were, and got nothing. Went in to 64 FOW toward power plant and had a monster on in 63 FOW off 40 jet back 150'. Would have been the grandsons first Walleye but the hook came out about 15' behind the boat. Kept trolling in to 50' got nothing.

Sorry for the bad report, but it happens from time to time.

We need to post more from the Fairport area on how the fishing is going.

Planning on going out again Thursday will post if weather cooperates.

Good luck to all and keep those lines tight.

[First One's Out]

Last weekend, I had much better luck in close. Trolled the 30's and 40's in 38-40' between Fairport Harbor and Mentor Lagoons. Got some nice hits. Going out tomorrow morning - gonna start in close and then move out if necessary.
