Perch Fishing

[pete/ny]

It's now summer vacation for my 12 yr. old grandson (Ty-Lure) and he will be doing alot of fishing with me. He loves fishin but we all know how kids get bored trolling for hours with no fish at times. So perch will be on the menu! Any perch reports or tips for post spawn would be appreciated. This is my first post on this site and glad to see there are fisherman sharing with each other in our area. I'll keep posting reports as we get out also. Thanks in advance......

Kids aren't the only ones that would get bored fishing with you. HAHA!Last time out it was 14 hours before we saw land.But have to say we did do pretty good. The perch are calling, see you next week.

Pretty funny Uncle Pete, but remember you can't catch em' sitting in the recliner. Don't worry, days will start getting shorter so I'll be keeping you out for only 13 hrs. next time...lol. We will definetly try and get out this week as long as mother nature does her part. (PS) Forgot to give you mud flap for truck yesterday.

Just thought I would mention to all, Ty-Lure is the grandkids name (and boat name). My name is Mike, but you can call me what you wish as long as were talking fishin'.

Have'nt been out for a couple weeks and then I was chasing eye's. Going to take the kid out again on Sunday. Went down to Erie PA. with my bro-inlaw (Pete/NY) and we were fishing in 57fow on wednesday where we did pretty well. I was thinking of SP and heading a little west to 60fow for a start. If anyone has a better starting point, any info is helpfull. Thanks in advance!!!
Good Fishin Everyone!!!!!!!

I was out this morning to run my boat finally with exhaust and outdrive repair work done for some testing and she ran great it was good to be back on erie again. I went to a spot that was productive last year, almost 4 miles nwish from sturgeon point close to the canadian border but caught only 1 perch. (61 feet) I didn't fish very long, but still should have caught a good 1/2 dozen or so I figured. (was by myself) I was marking fish on the bottom, but they just weren't hungry. (was using live emeralds and also a few goldens and a nightcrawler on two poles) Not real big schools though. Probably are hitting right now because I'm back home haha. There was almost nobody perch fishing from what I saw, and I did buzz around here and there running the motor. When I launched I thought there was going to be a fight for a bit some people were "exchanging words"...

Wave buoy info did not match what was happening out there. I drove out in 2 foot waves in the morning 7:30am, some whitecaps even. By the time I headed in, it was pretty calm I would say about 6 inch waves. Doesn't sound like much of a difference but it was very noticeable driving the boat, and the buoy registered the same wave height more or less thoughout the whole time.
