More boats were to my west about a mile, they may have had a quicker bite than me because they thinned out before noon.(or not?)

Gut pile results ~ yellow perch (Tuesday August 21st)
cleaned my last catch of yellow gold, and the results are; spiney fleas and some gobies.
these perch belly's are full of those things.
most if not all were full of the fleas, with some of the perch having both.
back at it soon, hope the storms today did not move the schools.
Get out and get some "yellow fatties".
Fish On!

See if perch caught in various locations are also eating them. Good info for perch fishing.

here is a photo taken and posted in this thread about a year ago;
the spiny fleas are small, and have two black eyes, better photos can be found by searching the internet, the ones on the lower right have been mushed in the stomach but you can still see some features.
the white piece is a growth I cut off a sheep head (looks like chewed gum) and was eaten by this perch~!
I will try to get a close up photo the next time I clean some Yellow Gold.
See a slight wiggly, Set That Hook, and Fish ON~

(those green blotches usually mark some good fishing)
South of G can has not been producing like it has been. Could be those storms that moved through the area.
Out several times and could only manage 8 yellow perch and 14 the next trip.
I think the weather may have been a factor, and I plan to try H can the next time out.
D can is an option too. Word at the docks is everyone is trying to find the fish.
Have been catching some small yellow perch, sheep head and some young walleye (returned unharmed).
Good to see those young fish.
~back at it soon~

H can today and still not much going on
:confused::confused:5 yellow perch, 2 gobies, 4 sheep head and a white bass.
some small perch throwbacks.
Just east of H can , will try again soon.
Got a late start and only fished for 3 hours.
It was windy~bouncy and had to deal with a big swing.
And it was very warm.
back at it soon,
