[waterdog]

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

H can today, many boats to the north, 15 keepers, some sorting.

It has been slow.

When we fish the finger lakes in New York for lake trout we have FLEA line on all reels. The line is triangle shape not round, so it cuts the fleas off as you troll. You still have a few but sure makes easier reeling and not having a clump of debris at your rod tip. It's hard to find now because the company (Cortland) is now out of business. I found a complete spool of it on e-bay a year ago. Good Luck.

When Waterdog only gets 15, you know it is r-e-a-l s-l-o-w

The bite and the heat make it hard to get enthused the next few days...

Hopefully the bite will pick up again soon...

As always thanks for the report...

In regards to the water flea pictures, below are some links to some interesting fact sheets. I tried to create hyperlinks but the posting rejected it as "spam" So you will have to copy and paste in your browser. Will see if this works. (well now I see it took it....) These things have a very interesting "reproductive capability"

Perching is still a tuff go.
Caught 5 sheep head, 4 young walleye (5 inches ~ returned unharmed).
(no throw back perch!) They were nice keepers.
Moved 3 times around the G can area and the water clarity was fine.
Sassy Sal was in the area N W of G can , but moved further north after about 2 hours.
Water is cooling down now and I hope to see an improvement soon with some bigger walleye moving back into the area.
Fish On, (soon?)

Many light bites and a bunch of young walleye.
And some sheep head.
Just south of H can 18 fow.
I tried some casting for walleye near the Camp Perry pier, I was marking fish but no hits.
Back at it soon.

Water dog you better head back towards g can. 1-1/2 miles south. Limit both Friday and Saturday. Beautiful fish. 13 pounds Friday and 12 today. Done by 10:30 both days. East of the pack by myself.

Back at G can today, 30 nice perch, had to work at it today, 4 hours to get them.
One catfish, 3 sheep head, 2 throw back yellow perch, 2 white perch and a bunch of small walleye.
Many boats to my west and north.
About 2 miles south of G can.
those small walleye really steal the golden shiners and the perch hit hard.
Thanks for the heads up dansdad and LEfriend it is back on~!
out again soon,
Water Dog
