Sturgeon Point Perch Bite

[dunn782]

Hi all I'm from the west end of the lake near Toledo and have only ever fished Ohio, Michigan or Ontario waters of Lake Erie. I was wondering about the spring perch bite off Sturgeon point. Myself and a couple guys were thinking about running east and give it a try for something new. We were looking at this weekend but we're not sure if this is the best time or not. I see posts about the marina being dredged. Is that the only access around or is it still open? Any ice left that far west? Just looking for a little info to see if its worth the trip of if we would be better off staying this way and pound the walleye again or maybe try perchin somewhere between here and there. Thanks for any help.

Sturgeon is closed until may 15th. I believe you can launch out of the Cattaraugus launches down the lake Some. Perch bite is good there too and if the lakes not bad you can run the 9 miles to sturgeon point.

Has anyone been perch fishing lately? Thinking of making a trip from Rochester any help would save me some time and gas!..... SP, the Catt? Are emeralds in short supply or are they available?

As of last Friday Sturgeon was not open. They have 1 dock in for the workers use. the dredging was done, but the lake had lots of ice then. I was at the Erie basin marina today & I could not see any ice at the ice boom or out in the lake, only on the canada side. I think if I were you I would wait a week or 2. jmo. Maybe someone else will jump in with info.

I'm up here in niagara falls, and I have not seen any ice coming down, has the ice moved out at that end of the lake?
