Water Dogs~ Perch Report

[waterdog]

3 hours today, south of G can, east of pack 60 nice yellow perch.(22 pounds at the cleaners)
Great fun and we did have 8 throw backs, good to see those and all went back unharmed.
One sheep head and one white perch.
We were using golden shiners, spreaders and never any bling.
Hope you can get out this weekend and get some.

Any particular depth?

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.

On my way to South Bass Island, on the Jet Express, I saw many boats just south of Green Island.
They were perching! FYI
