So Where are the Yellow Gold ? and when will they return to the Western Basin?

[Water Dog]

So, the weather has been very different this year, and the white perch are on fire when I go for the walleye. I could not get out in the spring much for the walleye, due to you know the weather, winds and rain. So now anyone have some comments on when the Yellow Gold will return? Late July, early Sep, Oct, share some info, this is not a normal year. Any comments will be appreciated, when its fishing its not catching, and so it goes.

I think there is to many walleye still around water dog . Also i have notice bigger perch the last few years, but less perch #

The yellow gold are my family's favorite, so I need them to turn on quickly to get my freezer filled. Last year was a good one for me, still have a few pkgs left in my freezer. And yes, the avg size was larger which was great to see. Hoping things continue, but I am curious....where are these Perch at ?

I've actually caught a couple perch on worm burners while trolling for walleye the last few trips. Last one was last weekend around G can where they should be. The other one was north of the dump where they shouldn't be.

But like you guys said, this doesn't seem to be a normal year. We limited on walleye over by G can last weekend. I can't believe they were in 22' of water this time of year.....

I'm seeing reports of perch being caught in Sandusky Bay in 10 feet of water. Not huge numbers, but a couple people seem to be catching over there fairly consistently. Definitely not a normal year!
