I saw some amazing perch marks on the north edge of Niagra while I was walleye fishing. Only saw one boat perching the area and they were catching them.
Three of us caught our limit of perch about a mile north of 'B' can yesterday in 3 hours. It seemed like the rougher the water got the better the perch were hitting. No bling on the spreader is the way to go.
What time? We moved out there north of B about 11 after we couldn't get the eyes to do anything. Did pretty good at first but they slowed way down about noon and got so rough hard to control your bait. Would have moved a bit but by 1 or so it was too rough for my boat and headed in. Should have skipped the walleye try and gone out there early.Quote:

5 of us fished till noon today catching 110 nice yellow perch half mile northeast of b can. Quit early due to wind laying down and fish stopped biting . Had 11 lbs of fillets after cleaning.
dicks is now reno beach bait shop, new owner, give you alot, decent price, also mienkes west has good minnows, and denneys, and suzhs, your choice.
fished Saturday Ballast Island very windy, 3 guys, kept 48 disappointed in the size, and tons of sheep. Sunday MUCH better SE corner Kelly's 32 fow, limit 90 perch in 2.25hrs. Unreal fast action. Big shiners from Rickards better size perch too. I putted through 100 boats infront of Lakeside, 25 fow did not see anyone jerking or marking fish so keep going only us and 2 other boats in the area.
We limited out on perch in a couple of hours about 2 miles north of the Marblehead Lighthouse in 32' of water. Most of the perch were in the 7 1/2" -8", with about 1/3 throw backs. Only got 1 jumbo, 12 1/2". The bite was steady and we had to pick through them but we didn't keep anything under 7 1/2". Also got about a dozen sheepshead that tangled up our lines almost everytime I hooked one. I was fishing w/ ultra light tackle and a 8lb sheepshead could go just about anywhere it wanted and I couldn't stop him.
Going out on Friday and will head to the same exact spot.
