This is sort of an overall report on the current (Thursday September 13) perch fishing being experienced in the far west end (Maumee bay - Michigan line - End of shipping channel - West Sister Island - B Can - Crane Creek and all areas in between.

4 boats fishing with at least 5 people per boat.

Boat #1 = 6 perch - 6 hours fishing
Boat #2 = 7 perch - 3 hours fishing
Boat #3 = 13 perch - 6 hours fishing
Boat #4 = 53 perch - 6 hours fishing

The fish are there - just not biting. My boat was boat #2. We fished all along the shipping channel - from harbor light past turn around. Marked a lot of fish. Perch are stacked up on bottom. Actually did catch over 20 sheep head. The 7 I cleaned had empty stomachs.

Getting frustrated like everyone else.

1 Additional note - The area around the turn around has a lot of walleye marks suspended around 20 - 25 feet.
