If you come down along the river try; At the foot of ferry., the docks at Sherdian dr boat launch or the foot of Ontario st boat launch at the end of the breakwall or the small bridge at the south end of the parking lot. Also at Daves bait shop in Derby. If you are staying on the 90 go right to Millers bait shop going into Sunset. Its not out of your way. Good Luck!

Thanks think by the time i back track to river it would be more convenient and cheaper to hit a bait shop. So that's the plan leavin swamps at 6 15 or so. Hopefully they are hungry i'll post how it goes.

Got a handful out of the catt 52 fow veer slight to right heading out look for boats and you'll be in the neighborhood. Did a relaxed start no rush capt joe was working and weather looked great, but once we got on fish the wind blew 42 boats out when we started but in less than an hr 20 left. Lake went from ripples to almost 2 ft with small white caps. The anchor wouldn't hold so it messed it up. Did hit one hell of a schools of white perch they were a fun pain. Guess i gotta let capt joe off the hook can't blame it on his days off for poor weather anymore, who my kiddin yeah i can lol. Good luck all smashem. Night bite in a wk!

Can anyone tell me the differance between the white perch & the white bass ?? People say the white perch taste as good as the yellow perch. I would like to try some. Bailey , to bad the lake screwed you up, could have been a good day.

I've caught both In lake erie. While drifting and trolling. They both taste good when you get them big enough to fillet
