8/1 Fished N&E of Kelley's again. Slightly further East than last weekend. We picked up 4 & it took some work. Tons of sheephead... & I caught the largest catfish I've ever seen. Seemed like his head was the size of a volley-ball!

Got 90 perch, decent size off Lorain Lighthouse Saturday. Got another 60 today. Met a guy at the pumps on the way in Sat, had 13 nice walleye trolling off shore between all the perch boats at lorain lighthouse and Beaver Park beach.

I hear ya on the shipping channel.must have been in similar area on thursday,started at gravel pit,hit a few and then turned small, moved out by lighthouse were pack was,lotta sheeps and small ones,moved way out between red/white and green;white on channel and hit some nice ones.even got a 12 incher,and several 10-11 inchers.23 fish,12lbs.
got a late start so i had to work for them,and it was odd, the bigger the fish the softer the bite.and bigger shiners,over 3 inch,were magnets for junk fish and the smaller perch.

Fished by buoy 13 sunday in 2-4 footers. 4 guys kept 100 for 22 lbs. Some real nice fish and some smaller ones. Lots of 3 inch white bass. Crappie rigs and spreaders without blades were best bet. Cut all minnows the smaller chunks were better for perch bigger and whole minows caught the junk fish
