Perch fishing toledo water intake

[fishfinder]

I have a 17.5 Deep V so I might give it a shot. I plan on getting a trail setup in the near future when I retire so I can out out all the time. I am looking at Wild Wings, I have stayed there when I chartered with Goose a couple of times

Fished Friday and Saturday 10/28 and 29 total both days 2 men 82 fish 13.9 ft of water little cedar point shiners laying on the bottom , I would leave the bail open so the swing of boat does not move the line I believe the perch were laying on the bottom with fins touching so sonar did not pick them up we were not marking any fish but at time we would get double and even a triple on one line I used both a crappie rig with an additional sneilled hook and shiner at the bottom with a 5/8 oz egg sinker, and a spreader on the other pole .I kept all the gut hooked fish rather than feed them to the gulls that were all around me waiting for a snack cleaned them myself so don't know the weight , couple of nice size 12 inch in the mix also caught a 12 inch walleye hope to see a few more of his older buddies this Friday for one more trip before pulling the boat .

Great information and photos. Nothing better than a fried perch dinner! Where are you launching from to fish the area around Little Cedar Point, a public DNR launch or private marina? Thanks
