Went out with the grandson on the 3rd and fished 63FOW between SP and the Cat. Brought home 42 that were keepers. Alot in the 12" range, but we also threw back "many" small fish. It seemed like we would get 3 or 4 dinks then a good one. All on live minnows. I tried some of my salted but only got a couple. Hoping to take the kids out again this week. I'll post if we do well.

Heard last night that the perch are starting to move in, but I wasn't told of the size of the fish.

We were out yesterday (Tues) out in front of the Catt. 50-65 fow ended up with 25 good ones, biggest was 1.4#. Very slow picking 2 other boats were getting some but nothing hot & heavy. Best area was 63 fow. Had goldens for bait.

Perch seemed to have lockjaw for us today. Managed enough for a meal. Marked lots of fish and bait. I'm sure some did well.

I'm traveling from Rochester, and am hoping to get out one day this week........ Does anyone have a recent report out of SP or the Catt, and are Emeralds available at local bait shope??? Is it worth trying for walleyes this time of year?

No one has been out due to the hi winds & waves. SP was the only launch with docks/ramps still in as of last week (10/28) and none of the bait shops had emeralds only had goldens. Most walleye is night fishing now. good luck!

Two of us fished out of the Catt on Tuesday 11/3 and wound up with 2 limits. Millers had emeralds. The docks were in at the Hanover Town launch, but not the state launch. We hunted perch most of the morning, and finally found them shortly after lunch.... 58 fow pretty much out front. Very nice day for early November! Gotta love the Lake Erie fishing!
