This past falls perch season

[Seahawk]

The last few months I wonder what happened to the perch season this past summer and fall. It started out so great in August, and then it got real tough and there were days when I could barely catch a half dozen. My friend was having a tough time too, so he took a head boat out of Tibbels and he only got three for the day! I know others talked about the spiney water fleas were in the stomachs of the perch, but the season never seemed to turn around in September and October. What did everyone else experience? I am worried this upcoming spring may be tough too. I don't see anyone mentioning catching any perch on the forum since the end of Oct. The fall Walleye season seems to have attracted everyone with great fishing.
Thanks,

I experienced a very good perch season... It did start off hot but remained good for us throughout early November(winterized boats). We're fishing west of you. Most times 2 guys fishing we would limit or come close. The average size was awesome .. 8" to 13" very little sorting. We could usually get on them with a couple moves and a little patience. I have noticed over the last few years were catching them in deeper water later in the year( 23 ' or deeper) They just are not hanging shallower consistently ( I have my theories)

Seahawk,
I was fishing Marblehead,Lakeside, Kellys, South Bass, Rattlesnake and Green Isle areas. How Far west of that area? If not too far west, it would be worth the run to get fish!
Thanks
