I'm planning to head up for a weekend perch trip this Saturday evening and Sunday morning, launching out of Romps in Vermilion. It seems like the perch bite was hot a week or so ago, has anyone been out lately? Last year I was up at this time of the year and had to go all the way to the sand bar to catch fish. Any reports or recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.
Perch bite is still good. Most of the action remains 1.5 miles NE of the breakwall out from the condo's. Should be a large pack of boats out there and no problem finding them.
Thank you for the update. About how many FOW is that? Weather looks like it's holding up, can't wait to get our there.
Nailed our limit sunday it that area- even though it was a little bumpy, rainy and a few water spouts. Will be out there tomorrow.

Thanks for the posts everyone. Sounds like fishing is still solid, hopefully it stays steady for Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.
4 man limit in 2 hours yesterday. Ton of boats and a ton of limits. I have been fishing the same spot all year and has produced our limit 5 out of 6 times. Will be there on Sunday.
34' off of VOL
Backagain - thanks for the report and info. That's a nice short run to make for limits of perch. We'll start our trip off there tomorrow afternoon around 3pm.
Does anyone on here do frequent afternoon/evening trips? I'm just curious when the evening bite starts heating up. Growing up we always fished sun rise until we caught a limit so never had much chance to fish later in the day.
I'll be out in a blue and white Bayliner ski/fish, stop by and say hi if anyone see's me on the water. Also be at Quaker Steak Saturday night hopefully celebrating catching our limit. If anyone is stopping there let me know, I'll buy a beer for the advice everyone has given!
Another limit- 2 man.
Started at 9- finished at 11:15- this year has been on fire.
I must admit I was not a big fan of the fish cleaning place on Baumhart until last week- they must of had 8 people working. Fish were finished in 30 minutes.
We dropped off 16lbs- had some nice filets when bagging them.
I hope the weather is crappy for next weekend- I need to take a break and get some stuff done around the house.
We must have missed the hot spot yesterday, we had a slow bite. Only caught 30 keepers in 4 hours. Saturday evening had good action though. Caught 71 keepers (3 guys fishing) in 3 hours and threw back another 25 or so dinks.
Old man took the boat out yesterday with brother and his wife. They were at my same spot at 9am and done by 1230p.m.--Spot produced another limit. I think that is 8 for 9 this year.
2- 13" Jumbo's caught as well.
Looks like this weekend maybe a wash with the weather- I need a break anyhow.
Went out to sandbar today in search of some big perch, hit our two man limit in a hurry after one move to get off a school of white bass. Hit a couple of 11 and 12 in fish, most were around 9, only caught two that were smaller than 8. Wasn't another boat anywhere near us, 34/20 location. Saw the massive pack off condos, did they hit there today too?
