Perch Fishing

[pete/ny]

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.

TYMIKE- those 14 hour days go by quick when the fish are hitting the box. Call you tomorrow nite to finalize the trip Thursday.

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.

wnyguy......That bouy has led me wrong a few times also. It is not a live update. I think it could be hourly and we all know how the lake can change in an hour. Good thing is that your back on the water!! Those launch sites can get hostile on the weekends. They should have vallet launching for some folks, lol.... It sounds like you hit the area I was thinking of. I have some waypoints saved from earlier this year so the hunt will be on for those tasty little fellas. When you getting back out now the you have your boat back? Hope we have a good fall and we get to use our toys alot! Good Fish'n!!!!!
