~Perch~

Went perch fishing at Niagara Reef just ne of green bouy in 29 fow.
Caught 8 nice jumbo perch and "A LOT":eek: of sheep head.
I was using a spreader with 3/4 ounce and minows with no "bling".
Probably would have caught more perch if the sheep head would give the perch a chance! At least all the perch were big:D

Thanks for that great Perch report/ Do you have numbers to that hot spot?

I was fishin just ne of green bouy very close not more than 100 yards from the bouy. Just head ne untill the water drops off to 29'. Last year I fished this area alot and caught perch most of the summer. Sometimes I will let my boat Idle for about 5 mins. when I first get there to attract the perch. First learned this from the head boat captains in port clinton. Also, use small pieces of dead minows cut up as chum. This seems to work well for the sheep head too!

ok today I had a first, two sheephead on a spreader~ LOL
Caught alot of sheephead too~
Anyway I caught 17 nice perch just east of the green bouy at Niagara Reef.
In 30 fow using a spreader and minows.
