Perch fishing toledo water intake

[airshot]

Nice day on the lake today, unfortunately the perch did not cooperate. Plenty of good marks, mabey to good as I am thinking the bottom couple feet was filled with small bait fish !! When these masses dissapeared then smalk perch would bite, but when the screen was filled....no bites what so ever....my thinking is thet were feedingnon the bait/ small fish. Nice day for a ride, the biggest perch caught today was just 8" long barely enough for a sandwich....might try again tomorrow, nice days are dissapearing quickly.

You are correct on that. The days are getting shorter and the temp will be dropping before you know it. I guess as long as the wind cooperates we can get a few more days on the lake.

Done for the year finished up today. We only got about 80 out-of 150 limit for 5 guys but really a pretty nice day for November, southwest of intake 18 foot of water look for the red flag for commercial net , park close and wait them out minnows on the bottom slow pick up fish were just hanging on . Caught one small walleye also , not great catching but great fishing . But unfortunately 2 boats sank from Stern anchoring! no one was injured thanks to tow boats quick response, we also saw about 4 other boats that were Stern anchored remember to be safe out there .
