Water Dogs~ Perch Report

[waterdog]

very calm day on the lake, caught 18 today and had 3 pounds at home cleaned, (wife likes them with the skin off)
caught one white perch, 2 sheep head, and this very nice small mouth (returned to the lake unharmed).
well, a look at the gut pile shows that they are eating some gobies~!
using golden shiners , night crawler, spreader and no bling.

8:30 to 1:00 pm, ran out of bait~ sneaky perch.
did manage 26 yellow perch, one sheep head, large catfish and a yearling walleye (returned unharmed)
SE of G can, many boats north of me.
gut pile shows those spiney fleas and some gobies
some of those sneaky perch had 4 of my goldens in their gut.
see the white stuff in the sw side of the gut file photo, that looks like gum, that is a growth I cut off the sheep head and some perch ate it!

21 pounds at the cleaners, nice fish and 4 hours, we did have 6 throw backs (unharmed)
On the way in we spotted 3 head boats near shore in 15 fow just 2 miles NW of the Portage river, set up a drift with erie deeries (with crawlers) and caught 4 walleye, 6 sheep head and 1 catfish.
Very nice day on the lake.
We did not see may flies so come get some yellow perch~!
It is on,

Glad they're on and glad your back at it! Congrats and thanks for reports. I have most of next week free and off work, and close buddy coming in from out of state and now I see thunderstorms and 2.5 inches rain predicted thru Thursday.... story of my summer...

Great fun and we did have 8 throw backs, good to see those and all went back unharmed.

Hope you can get out this weekend and get some.

Any particular depth?

[waterdog]

50 perch today, 18 pounds at the cleaners. South of G can in 20 fow.
5 sheep head, dozen throw back yellow perch, 4 white perch, 1 gobie and a 5 inch walleye (returned unharmed).
Just could not get that last 10`!
Not sure what the storms and waves that went through the days before, had on the bite, but we had to work today.
It was 1~3 today, so a little more bouncy than I like.
Back at it soon.

Thanks. Same here. Had to work. A can 3 guys - 40 perch, 13#, 8:30 to 1:30. (Threw back lots of 4-6 inch perch. And out there the predicted 1 footers/9 mph winds were actually 2-3 footers with numerous healthy 4+ footers thrown in until about 11:30. So bouncy I didn't want to crawl up front to pull the anchor to move until late morning. On plus side caught 3 of this years walleye hatch (3-5 inches). Downer.... on way in on plane way out in open water with nothing showing, kaboom... hit what must have been a submerged log. It was loud and scary. Stopped immediately and circled back...couldn't find anything visible in water. Didn't hit motor. No damage visible above water. No leaks in bilge. Ran okay rest of way in...will have to pull boat and check bottom. Got me worried. Otherwise...great day on water.

5 yellow perch, 2 gobies, 4 sheep head and a white bass.

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,
