Perch fishing toledo water intake

[MBLMIKE]

Fished Friday morning 8 am to 2pm about 1 mile south east of intake 18 to 20 foot of water caught 53 out of 60 fish limit for 2 men we ran out of bait could have easily limited out 13 lbs at the cleaners , 7 to 11 inch fat perch using shiners lay on the bottom wait a few minutes using perch spreaders. Single hook and crappie rigs did not seem to mater. Had 2 poles working steady Doubles on both put a third pole in while taking fish of the others and rebaiting them great day lots of boats . Close enough to talk to other boats. find a spot anchor up drop your line and catch some perch . Just remember to get enough bait.

Went out this morning, east of the intake about a mile. Boats scattered all over. Got into the perch quickly !! Unfortunately they were dinkys...moved three times and still 5-6" perch..only 4 decent ones in over three hours. Right a noon the wind picked up, so headed in.

We did not make it up Friday with the wind out of the northeast and a cold front, so we just went in to the shop and did some work. Let me know if any one was out , the after noon looked like it settled down from the camera views ,

We went out today, the weather was great but the fishing was not. We went out of Wild Wings hit the can area, we caught a few but all of them were too small for us to keep. Wife caught a 8" walleye. We enjoyed the day on the lake but it was a long drive to come home with nothing. I am not sure if we will get another chance to go out this year but I will be looking forward to some jig fishing next spring

Is this wind and weather ever gonna get better ?? This season is comming to a close before we realize it....only one package of perch and a small pkg of walleye in the freezer. Gonna be a long winter if we cant get back on the lake here soon !!

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

[airshot]

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
