Perch fishing toledo water intake

[MBLMIKE]

Friday 10/ 14 /22 Three of us fished south West of Toledo water intake started 13 ft and then moved to 19 ft however best acttion was 17 foot drop down crappie rigs heavy sinker then lift up to get sinker just off the bottom so rod tip bends , I found this worked best for the waves and wind you can aee the bites better and most fish were not gut hooked , we fished about 8 to about 12 pm total 86 fish they shut down at 12 pm and we could not find the last 4 fish anywhere . The waves started to build so called it quits , ended up with a really close fish ohio perch also. Kept 7 inch or above it was really a good bite around 10 to 11 up and down Doubles. Looks like a big blow for next 4 days may try again Friday if weather and waves permit.

If the wind is under 10 I am going to make the drive Saturday
Thanks for the up date

It looks like Saturday is going to be a nice day to get out on the lake. I just have to decide if I want to fish the cans, an area I have fished before so I know where to start or fish around the intake area, an area I have never fished. Decisions decisions lol

Good news is, fall fishing is some of the best. Bad news is fall weather on Erie can be rough. Heading up for a week later in October and a week first part of November

I can't wait to hear how you do. I am going to watch the weather and hope to make it out in a week or two with my grandson. He loves to fish but we haven't had much luck on Erie this year

My best day last year for perch was early November over by Marble head light house. It was a beautiful day. I'm up here this week going out Tuesday and Wednesday.

Grest day on the lake today, perch bite was slow but steady. Still lots of dinky perch but did have some nicer ones mixed in. Also caught 5 small walleye which were gently returned to the water. Tried straight out of Metzgers with a pack of boats but not much happening there, moved close to intake but no action there. Ended up about half way between intake and Metzgers in 20' of water. Only 17 quality keepers including a few in the 10-11.5" range !!! Nice chunky perch....probably 30-35 little throwbacks. No farm critters this time. Great day with just a slight chop, just enough to keep the rods moving. Gonna try again tomorrow, supposed to be a duplicate day of today...

Sounds like a good day. I hope to live closer to the lake when I retire in a couple of years
