Perch fishing toledo water intake

[fishfinder]

How late in the fall do they usually catch the perch and walleye in the western area?

Perch can be caught right up until ice forms. November can be good if weather cooperates and you dont mind fishing in cold air !!!

I don't mind fishing in cold air especially if I am catching fish lol

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.

30 nice perch Sun,Mon, and Tuesday in the G can area. They started like fire every morning right at sun up then slowed down by 830 or so. Kept nothing under 8" and I bet I threw back 60-70 shorties in the 3 mornings. A great sign for a good fall next year. Another good sign is the 12-15 small pickerel I caught. There were several fish over 11" mixed in there. Time for perch tacos!

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
