Lorain/Avon Perch bite - Aug 15-16
Anyone have luck catching sizable perch off Lorain this past weekend?
Most who perched were in 40 fow, 2 miles out this past weekend. Best bites were off Beaver Park, but lots of small ones (D'Arcy's report was right on). Also tried off Avon Pt. both east (lots of white perch) and west, but no real bites there. Stopped at Ardicks, and he showed me buckets full of perch in the 4-5" size that idiots brought him. Ridiculous!
I sent my underwater camera down to record and see what was down there on Sunday, and really, there were no big ones down there at all, hardly any fish around. I'll be back out in Lorain on Sunday to find them again... I have a feeling the large ones are 6+ miles out off Lorain like they were in late Aug-Sept last year.
After giving up on the perch, I picked up 2 eyes (24" & 26") on green erie dearies 6-7 miles out @ the 38-15 line. 'Eyes were suspended around 16-18 feet.
