Got a limit of perch Friday night just north of green. Saturday morning was not quite as good. Friend got two tickets towards Rattlesnake and my group got only 1.5 of 3. Decent size. Not too many junk fish. Other boat did land a 30" walleye on a perch rig.
3 man limit yellow perch 27 pounds at cleaners fished from 6- 11.30 started slow then they were biting fast doubles as soon as you went down lots of sheepheads no other junk we also caught a few red eyes spreaders right on the bottom fish finder was empty but fish were hitting in the mud pull up slow fish was on 20 ft of water off wards canal 4-5 12 inchers and lots of 9 inch fish only a few small fish returned to water. time to fill frezzer

Where is wards canal located ? Is it close to magee west ?
I think its Metzger marsh
That is great about Wards Canal 20 fow was this Sunday ?, we were there also and only got 1 ,only 2 boats around us we ended up moving 5 times ending up with only 10 near Intake. We fish same way no bling ,slow lift . . most of the boats we saw were out further and we thought they were Walleye fishing appeared to be moving..
the best was no bling out fished others 3-1 it was sunday morning going out this week will report when done when we dropped our fish off at butch and dennys [27 pounds] there was not a lot of big numbers being drooped off anchor broke free and we lost them so we moved to a perch number on gps nothing went back to first spot and bam doubles . hope fully they stay there this has been a great spot for years usually 2nd week of july for about 3-4 weeks and then there gone looks like a little early this year they are nice fish we were only boat in area don't have numbers next trip if there still there ill post gps numbers. also seen walleye being netted had a couple pro line boats one drifting one trolling in line boards would run up to our area and reset there lines only going with waves both were netting fish, wards canal is metzgers marsh between cooly canal and crane creek
Great Job. we also have great luck there in Late June and into July...But Sunday was not our day ...... we may be out late week looks like weather will be cooperative. We were in 25' Grady White blue top did you happen to remember see us?.. sometimes just a matter of a 1/2 mile can make all the difference ..
I plan on fishing that area too this week and will post the results. I'm going to try there or the Toledo intake area. Pulling out the trolling gear and switching tothem tasty perch for awhile. I plan on Thursday for sure if the weather is ok and Saturday and Sunday weather permitting.
Thanks fellas, Any public launches down that way or even private, low cost ones to be recommended ? Mike
