perching out of walnut

[docwet]

In the past week the Yellow Perch have left the area...Friday was Slow, Sat. was Very slow and Sunday was non-existent. Burned 5-7 gallons each day looking, so was very expensive effort with little results...but that's fishing.
Trolling for walleye was better but the white bass made that a test of endurance rather than a pleasant expedition.

Is this normal with this Time of year didn't start perching till late July last year and we always got on them. As far as trolling for walleye I trolled for a couple hours on Friday with my girlfriend and after getting all the lines out on the boards twice and all I got was silver bass I gave up too much work for one guy. Hopefully get back up after the 4th any help is appreciated

I know its always hot in Connie/Ashtabula for eyes and perch. Around here its tougher it seems. Some days you can be on them and next notta chance. On facebook watch the head boats post there days catch for perch. They've been sporadic as well.
As for the eyes, they're on fire right now and anywhere from 39-65fow. Like that 25-30 foot range.

Thanks for posting the information guys. First trip in from Central PA, this year. We planned to target perch this weekend, but sounds like we should try 'eyes on first. Thanks again.

Best thing is to follow Poor Richard's on facebook for their reports if out of town.

Here's todays:

Yesterday was a bad day it was 4 to 6 footers. Today it is 2 to 4s and it is supposed to calm down a little to 1 to 3s. They have been getting the perch in 45 foot off of trout run. Good numbers and good size. The walleyes they have been getting in the same area all the way out to 70 foot of water. The bigger ones are out farther. They have been doing really well on the eyes. Tomorrow is supposed to be a little calmer and Sunday is supposed to be calm in the morning and picking up by afternoon with 30 knot winds. Good luck and happy fishing
