This years perch catching is better than last year, but not like a "normal" year. Went to A&J's for bait and stood in line from about 6;30 to 7:40, was quite busy!! At least 30 buckets in front of me waiting for minnows and more when I left. Went with a neighbor Saturday who limited on Wednesday with 90, had 19 for 3 people the same spot and 3 areas on Thursday, he did not go out Friday, we caught 29 South and SE of G with 4 people on Saturday. Another Neighbor on Thursday caught 9 with a crew of 2, Limited Friday crew of 2 South of Green. and caught 30 something Saturday with a crew of 3. Both Captains said the sonar looked the same all days fished, bait was the same, weather was close to the same, so maybe the Perch gods needed something else?
Beautiful day on the lake, but the perching could have been better! (The cake was good but the icing was lacking!)

I will say the marks I saw last weekend on Sunday the 20 were better than I saw all of Saturday and Sunday 26 and 27. I knew the NE blow had them dizzy, but once the weather steadied, game on. And it helped that live emeralds were available all last week Monday through Friday. At least now I know and others too that not everybody was killing it. Maybe next time, hopefully this weekend. I'm only trying to get another limit before the winter.

perching
i fish the Canadian side which has been slow so far,one technique i learned by accident was to bait up and drop line down ,leave bail open for a minute or so then crank reel to close bail and slowly lift and feel for weight.Different days the fish seem to like different action,sometimes a little drag across the bottom,sometimes a slight lift of the rod will do it.I use a "skipper 9" rig that works very well for me,if we have 3 people in the boat we all try something diferent til we pick up a pattern that works that day,hope this helps.

I am planning another trip next week and gonna try to squeeze one in the week after that. Perch or walleye not sure what it will be. Nine perch don't seem like it's worth the 3 hour drive but the wife loves sitting anchored and holding her pole so hopefully we'll find them and they will be hungry this time. I love just being out on the water and my two dachshunds do to. But some action would be nice.

Went out a bit late Sat the 26th family trip was off Camp perry at "H" can picked up 10 perch, went back out the 27th same spot we picked up 32, 1 baby wally, 2 small White Perch, 4 gobies. A bit choppy in the morning but it tamed down we were in the 23' Proline just a bit south of the two head boats that were close together.
Was wondering if anyone has heard of using crushed oyster shell as a form of attractant while perch a jerking?

“Crushed oyster shells” Yes, we call it magic dust or stones, been using for over 20 year. 2 of my neighbors went out Thursday and caught their limit in 3 hours. Will see what happens with the solunar peaking out.
