Seen a limit of perch that was caught at niagra today. Nice fish and said fast bite.

went fishing for walleye east of "B" can. caught some yellow perch on worm harnesses and a few white perch. We drifted then trolled. No Walleye.
Did see plenty of trollers in the area. We went back just east of "B" can and anchored~ then the fun began~ 10 jumbo white perch and 60 jumbo yellow perch in 2 hours~ n i c e ~ (JUMBO IS anything 8" or over)
using crapies rigs with worms and minnow and spreaders, no bling in 29 fow on the bottom. a very light bite for the yellow perch and the white perch just hammered it!

fished east of Niagara Reef today. got a late start. many boats in the area and most were trolling, but we did see some drifters.
the trollers were doing good, at least the ones that went by our boat.
we saw 3 walleye caught by the trollers that troller near our anchored boat.
we got 25 nice perch, with few throw backs and one really nice white bass. we caught some nice white perch too.
our bigest jumbo was 12 inches.
we were using spreaders with shiners on the bottow in 29 fow.
the crapie rigs did not do as well as the spreaders today.
attached is a photo of some of the bigest.

30 fow using spreaders, minows and crawlers on the bottom.
caught 20 white perch, 15 yellow perch, 8 channel cats, 10 sheephead and some white bass.

the wind~waves were too much in the am for us or we would have fished the reefs.
