Perch Fishing

[Ty-Lure]

Last spring the sand bar seemed really bad. Someone on this board had said it was due to no ice on lake allowing more sand to be pushed up. More ice=less waves. Made sense to me. Hopefully we can get out before the dredging starts, if not it will have to be the Cat. Last year I had to dodge a few tree trunks getting out of there.

Got the small boat out this am. Put all the new regs. stickers on the boat & trailer plate, put air in tires (need new ones) maybe this week. Had both motors running, did a few other odds & ends, got her ready for perching erie or browns on lake O. Got the minnow tank set up, I am ready, Come on warm weather, good by ice!

Got boat ready today and took it to the river launch at foot of sheridan (tonawanda) just to back her in in and run motor for a bit, but due to all the debris at the dock there was no way to get it in the water. Guess I'll be hooking up the ears in the yard tomorrow. On a postive note....if your looking for minnows to salt for perch, there are a ton of them to be had. Two dips with net and I had more than I could put in a 5 gal. bucket. Anyone know how Sturgeon is looking for early season launch? I may take a ride during the week to see myself. I'll post a report if so.

fwiw...I was out there very late last fall and watched an 18' aluminum fishing boat have a dickens of a time getting out, and that was with sticks stuck into the lake to mark the deepest water depth into the lake

Hope its a good report....hate to have to put the chest waders on and pull the boat across a sand bar...lol!

If it does'nt have a fish/depth finder on it......please sell it somewhere else.

Quite a bit of ice in the harbor at Sturgeon Pt. On another note there was 1 truck and trailer at the DEC launch on the Catt. I know the guy that was out I did talk to him and he was just getting anchored up when I talked to him.
