Was thinking of taking the boat out tomorrow for our first ride and was wondering if anyone has done any perch fishing. I understand the water temp is 51 degrees and that they don't start hitting until the water temp gets up above 55 degrees.
Any info?
Thanks,
Dale
Did you go out? I was out Thurs. it was a beautiful day but no fish.
Yeah, we went out and only caught one perch because the waves were running 3 - 4 feet. I can't believe how much better this 18 footer rides better than the 16 footer. We were only out about 2 hours and coming in through the breakwall we hit this wave and the boat must have lifted 6 feet in the air and there were 4 footers plus inside the breakwall. The boat handled so well.
Anyways going to try and go out on Saturday. Perhaps the lake will be up past 55 degrees and flat.
At least we got the boat out - Maiden Voyage!

Talking to a guy at the dock yesterday and he said they were catching walleye close to shore from the Fairport Harbor Beach to the Perry Nuclear Power Plant.
As far as perch go, he told me they were catching them in 31 FOW just northwest of the lighthouse.
