Water Dogs~ Perch Report

[SWOHRIDER]

I think we came out of the portage right behind you this morning and ended up in the same area. 2 of us had 48 when you headed in but took until after 1 to get the last dozen. Bite really died off when the wind quit. Weird thing is the fish actually seemed to prefer Goldie's today over emeralds, especially later in the day. Idk what the weight was but we had some really nice size fish.

Welcome back and good luck perch fishing this season.Since you are as close to a perch expert on this site,do you have an opinion on the perch limits being reduced in central basin to 10 fish, but the TAC of perch in western basin increasing 20%.

Went to G can to try my luck with the yellow perch using shiners, no bites.
Headed to the spot NW of Lakefront in 14 fow and started drifting, calm day 3-5 mph drift.
Put out the spreader with a shiner and a night crawler combo.
The spreader, scored a small mouth bass (returned unharmed) and one walleye, no yellow perch or sheep head.
The bass took the shiner and the walleye took the night crawler.
Using the green haired jib, tipped with a shiner and a night crawler, 4 walleye , all males, some still milking others not.
All the walleye were taking the main hook, must be hungry.
Back soon,

I'm assuming you meant to say 3-5mph wind?
Good catching thanks for report.
