Water Dogs~ Perch Report

[waterdog]

SE of G can, 30 yellow perch, 22 fow, spreaders and an emerald golden shiner mix.
5 hours today, somehow the 8 perch sorting did not seem as small near the end.
bite was good in the am and slowed after the wind dropped.
anyway, used the engine to get the last 6 I needed to bring this dog home.
9 pounds at the cleaners, some white perch and a few young and now educated walleye.
may go on Saturday, however if you can get out the next two days look good weather wise.

NW of Lakefront Marina again today (14 fow), 4 more milking male walleyes.
Spreader drag for perch did get a bite today but did not get a hook set.
Green jigs for the walleye tipped with a shiner.
Head boat worked the area but did not stay long and headed north west.
5 other boats were working the area and I did see some boats netting fish.
I did not see any trollers in the area, just jigging.
Camp Perry red flags were out and they were firing today.
3 hours today, most bites were early and noting in the last hour.
back soon,

Saw you out there today water dog, I was the pro line just south of you with 3 guys, finished with 8 and lost about another 4 at the boat left about 20 minutes after you purple seemed to be best color for us today

16 more (hog) yellow perch using spreaders, shiners and no bling.
plenty of sheep head, some white bass and 6 too small walleye (returned to get bigger)
7 pounds at the cleaners, no white perch, however the sheep head filled in to get plenty of this dogs bait!
many boats and head boats west of me and some trollers.
very nice day on the lake.
back soon,

Nice to see a few being caught. Any pics of the 16 hogs? That would be a nice sight to see.
