[gregnwtf]

Boat 3 had 180 yellow perch today out in the west end north of the reefs. Boat #2 had 42 walleye off Geneva, huge cooler of walleye. Outstanding !

3 straight days of walleye limits. 2 boats limited Friday with boat limits of walleye. Saturday and Sunday boat limit of walleye and yellow perch. Walleye fished in the morning then caught nice perch the rest of the day. 2.0 mph, 40 jets 65-85 ft with spoons. Dipseys really did good all weekend. j7s at 42-48 on a #1 setting and j7s or a spoon on #3 setting 60-65ft. Spoon colors where wild colors, mix of purples, coppers, pinks and chartruse, etc. Plenty of weeds to keep ya busy. Perch wanted the rig lying on the bottom a few seconds and slow lift till ya feel a tap pull or bump, lot of doubles. Some trash fish out there but probably always will be. Take plenty of bait. Probably only 2 open days in Sept for perch call soon. 419-890-2555

Near a limit drifting Saturday casting with a group's first time on Erie. First fish was 25 inches on a gold weapon, then nothing for awhile. Changed from 3/4 oz to 1/2 oz. , nothing, put a hot orange blade on, WHAM. Then WHAM again. Ok, they want orange today on an 18 count medium crank. Sunday drift bite was really good early moning then slowed up. Some trollers did well and some did ok. We did good with a family crew. Threw back several short eyes, with a 25 incher for the biggest. 40 jets 65 to 85ft. #1 setting on dipseys 40 to 55 and #3 settings 62 to 68ft. Spoons and J7s. Speeds from 1.8 to 2.6 and best was 2.4. Perch fishing was spotty and somewhat slow after the late night storm Friday night. Monday we didn't fish but was on the lake with the Tall Ships for the Battle of Lake Erie. 100's and 100's of boats out there today. As a Navy veteran, I got to see the Navy ways of 200 years ago.
