Saturday Fairport Perch

[Round II]

Went NW of Fairport on Saturday July 9 to 41 FOW. 4 guys on board and we had 50 perch in the box within the first 45 minutes. Took 3-1/2 more hours to get another 50. Ended up the morning trip with 100 perch. 8" to 10" mostly, about 4 12".

Went back out Sunday and couldn't even produce a bite. Finally ened up in 61FOW marking fish like crazy, but nothing biting. But a bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work.

Haven't heard much about the walleye fishing out of Fairport. Anyone doing any good, and what are you using and what depth?

Yeah, I couldn't go out Saturday, but as you said on Sunday we started in 41 FOW and got about 12 and then it died. Went out to 61 feet of water and were marking them about 25 feet down. Some big schools. When we timed it right we were getting doubles, but it stopped. Ended up with about 15 total.

Figured we get out early. First the bait store at 6:30 rain out of minnows and got a load in around 7:00 a.m. so that put us back and then pulled into the Fairport Harbor dock and were met by the Sheriff's Office who did a vessel inspection so that took another half an hour. After launching, we didn't get out until about 8:00 a.m.

Well, we got a safety check from the USCG and now the Sheriff's Office.

Who's left?
