Perch Report 8/20
I agree there had to be at least 200 boats out along the hump. We were on the west side of the pack in 46 fow at 7:40 with 5 guys and by 9:15 we had 85 in the box. Unfortunately we ran out of minnows because this captain didn't buy enough. We ran back in to get more and Steve's was out. The only thing he had was salted minnows. We went back out and only caught 2 in the next hour and a half. So we finished with 87 total.
Word to the wise, always buy more than you think you'll need, or carry the frozen ones from earlier in the year when the perch weren't hitting as good.
Side note I freeze my extra minnows in cornmeal. They don't dry out and the perch seem to like them better than salted ones.
Plus if you get hungry they're already breaded.

If you come out of Fairport and head at 330 on your compass for about 3 miles watch your depth finder. It will go from 39/40 fow to 52 fow in about 100 yards. That is the hump. You'll also see a lot of boats. The hump is actually quite long so there is plenty of room for all.
Good luck the perch fishing is only going to get better from here on out.
