Walleye fishing report for islands area 8/15/09.

[wakina]

The wt (63#) brings to mind a post that I made on 08/13/2009 about a limit of perch that started near Green and was finished near C-can. My son and I caught 50 perch that weighed 11#s at the cleaners. We had a mixed bag of 7.5" to 12.75" perch. Majority were in the 8" range of perch. Multiply 11 x 6 and you get 66#s live wt. It is totally probable that Wayne Johnson's catch and claim of 63#s is true. I don't question his posted wt. or his integrity on this matter. I think time would be better served by posting reports and not attacking other members for trying to help fellow members out. Thank you Wayne for the report on your perch trip I am sure that it is well appreciated by most members of this site.

Again, honestly measure your fish. 5 fish pound equals 7 inch perch period. I could go out and average that with no sort what so ever. You are catching little perch and convincing yourselves they are bigger. Get to 3 fish per pound and you have decent fish. Oh....I forgot Wayne won a perch tourney last year.....WOW I guess he knows all about fishing. Who was the tourney against, they other drunk hillbillies in your trailer park? All of you need to get real!! How pathetic, you guys come on here looking for "good intel". Give me a break. Good fishermen are not on here telling where the bite is. If any good info is put on here, by the time someone goes fishing again it is a week old. Does anyone think the fish would move by then????? No wonder most of you float around out there not catching anything. Again 300 perch that weigh 63 pound average 7 inches PERIOD.

I have a suggestion Lets hold a perch derby Wakina vs Walleye Whacker and have them weighed on the same scales, also lets have at least two other members of this forum present to measure the perch to determine how many they avg. per pound and verify the wt. per limit of 25. The results of that weigh-in will be final. How about it Walleye Whacker I'm willing to put my honor where my key board is how about you.

for your information wacker, the tour I was againist was againist mostly western basin charter captains, and was wieghed by the captains each year
in takes this size perch to win. I give you a hint we are fisshing 18 miles out
of anchor point right near the line, any experience captain will know exacly were we fish and the sizes that come out of there all the time, as far as lb. a
perch in shallow water is usually very skinny and wiegh's less per lb. the deep
water perch are most more meater and weigh more per lb. perch that come from vermillion weigh more perch than western basin, same is thru about perch from counect area, or twas area, they just are bigger around per inch
of size.

Wayne-

I find your reasoning ammusing. "Deep water perch are more meater" Are you that stupid? Out fishing a charter captain, especially perch, is no acheivemen. Plus if you have to go 18 miles to catch perch, that really shows stupidity. Any time you want a perch fish off let me know. You are just upset that you brought in 7 inch perch and want to pass them off as 7.5 to 11 inchers and some one called you out on your lie. Make no mistake, there is nothing wrong about bringing in a limit of perch that size, I have many times. Somedays that is just what you catch no matter where you go, I just didn't lie about it. More meater, that might be the best one I have heard.

when is it going to be the best time to start catching walleye nice size,thanks

[wayne johnson]

wacker say what you want, I dodn't know how much different area's you fish, but
the perch we catch at twas mich, sualt marie mich, vermillion in ohio or coneant in ohio are twice as fat and wiegh more than the western basin
perch, for the same size perch. as far as were I run that a personel choice, its a honey hole that only
a few fish, that my choice. I just report what I catch and lbs printed on the
weigh in ticket. Don't realy care just trying to help out others who aren't getting fish.
