Perch fishing toledo water intake

[airshot]

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
