9/14 perch report

[Capt Porkchop]

Great perch trip this morning in western basin. We boated 120 4 man limit today. Mixed bag today with half 9-10” fish maybe a few bigger. Shiners laying on the bottom in the mud. 18’ of water today.

I appreciate your reports, they seem more of an advertisement of your charter than information on where you are catching fish, what lures/spoons/Bandits you are using, the colors that are working and how you are deploying them, dipsey, downrigger, how far out ect

I do not mean to put you down, more info would be appreciated. I use the information on the forum to choose lures, colors, locations and deployment methods. Thanks

It’s guys like this that keep captains from posting.

I would like to politely disagree with the previous post especially with regard to your walleye reports. I always find your walleye reports helpful and informative. I've run into you several times at various launch ramps and you are always polite and helpful. Thanks for taking the time to post.

He told you shiners on bottom in 18 FOW Western Basin……pretty much all the info you would need other than his Actual numbers….Sam’s walleye reports are more than most Captains would ever disclose….My suggestion is book a trip with him if you want to know more.
Thanks for the great reports Captain!

Re: Water Dogs~ Perch Report October 23 , 2021 the last day

50 yellow perch, SE of G can , 22 fow very bouncy, and 16 pounds at the cleaners.
many trow backs (2 dozen) , (good sign for the next year) and some pesky white perch.
NO SHEEPHEAD~!
using spreaders, shiners, bling and no bling.
This is the last post for the season, feet dry soon, and I hope to be back for some more fishing fun in March~April 2022.


So after some time thinking about the above string of comments it reminded me of one of our best contributors to this site waterdog and his regular perch reports you may notice the detail to location presentation and catch that helped us all and put us on active fish .

This site I believe was intended to be for that purpose . It was also to help new fisherman and women understand and locate areas they are unfamiliar with .
Vague descriptions like 18 foot of water western basin could be anywhere from Michigan to about vermilion .
I do appreciate the charter captains reports they make for interesting reading as well as great advertising for there charter business .

Iam sure some may respond with there ubjections as is there right however for the folks out there that remember waterdog as well as others who no longer contribute regularly to the site it's a huge loss.

Great catch Captain, Thanks for the update. When you travel 3 hours to fish it is nice to hear reports like this and to know you caught your limit is awesome
