I know some nice perch were caught and the headboats were near the dumping grounnds off cedar point last wknd. Who knows after this last blow though. not really sure about walleye, I think there are some out by West Sister and that area, smaller fish but limits or near limits.
Perch are still going strong east of bumping grounds off cedar point. Nice size also. Lots 9"-12" perch there. Look for pack of boats.
Ok that sounds pretty good! Channel 79Quote:

BLACKPEARL, did you get those walleye by drifting or trolling?
Was at Cedar Point this weekend with the family and saw you perchers from the top of the Mellinium Force roller coaster! It looked really choppy Saturday but looks like it laid down pretty good today.
I have a question.....what is meant by the dumping grounds and how do you know exactly where it is? Do they actually dump waste out there? I've always wondered about this and can't seem to get a straight answer.
Trolling with dipsys and lead coreQuote:

Rock debri from jyarb #11210 1/4/2009 9:44:04 AM
From Michigan Sportsmen:
When shipping channels were blasted into Lake Erie's lakebed, the broken rock was loaded aboard large barges and towed away. Much of this material was used to develop breakwalls and harbors along the Detroit River, but a portion of the debris was simply dumped some distance away from the blasting sites. This created a type of "smallmouth heaven." Smallies congregate and hold in large numbers among these dumping grounds, most of which are located one-half mile east of the Banana Dike off Gibraltar. Bass aren't the only species to take advantage of this hotspot. Walleyes, pike and perch all call this area home and can be regularly caught here throughout the summer months. Also contributing to this location's good fit into the smallmouths' needs are the schools of baitfish that are drawn to these rocks. In all, the rock-infested dumping grounds may just be one of the top locations for smallmouths in our state and certainly in Michigan's portion of Lake Erie.
the sandusly area dumping grounds on erie from eriedude #11072 1/4/2009 4:56:54 PM
consist of harbour and canal dredgings. they are usually 1 or 2 miles out from the mouths of the bays, harbors and rivers.these areas are furtile with oxygen and nutrients which draw the baitfish and are good "perch fishing grounds".UNLESS they are dumping in them ,which is pretty common these days,then they are a muddy mess.there is one marked dumping ground that holds some of the biggest smallies around but youll have to find that one on your own.
How deep is the water at the dumping grounds near Cedar Point and which launch is best to get there? Thanks for any help you can offer!!!

Thank you Black Pearl for the info and the maps!! It's fisherman like you that make this a truly great forum.
Here are the size Walleyes we caught and perch to!
My oldest (12) said "those fishing rods on top?" when your rig went by. I said "yep". "Why are they up there?" was the next question. My response was "Cuz he likes 'em up there". :D To my surprise there was a follow-up question. "Why does he have so many rods?". My response; "He can't figure out which one he likes the best. It's kinda like a girl with shoes." She thinks just a split second and then goes "oooohhhh" as if she was sympathizing.Quote:

The second says "Maybe he likes pearls?". The oldest says "Maybe he finds oysters in his boat. You know, when he is not fishing". I threw out that maybe it was because the black motor was like a pearl on the back of the white boat. :confused: expressions. Last thing came from the second; "Pearls aren't black, they're white".
So there you have it from the peanut gallery. :D
Loved reading this Post~! I thought of my girls who are all grown up now. They still love to fish!Quote:
