Water Dogs~ Perch Report

[tracewisecarver22]

I cannot give you pointers around Kelleys, however the G can area and F can area are good places to start.
The yellow perch fishing is heating up~! Just need to locate a feeding school and you may score some walleye perch fishing.
I have read that east of Kellys is good too, if you go north of Kellys be careful there are some reefs that can hurt your boat (GPS maps are great if you have that).
Hope you have a safe and fun trip.

The cans are the range markers for Camp Perry.
If you Google it you can see the area for Lake Erie.

2.5 hours today, 30 yellow perch and 12 pounds at the cleaners.
using small emerald shiners, spreaders and no bling.
very nice perch, big fatties, they are eating well.
I put them on the scale at home after they were cleaned and it was 5 pounds and 5 oz, nice~!
slow start but once they got on it was up and down!
1 10 inch walleye (returned unharmed but educated)
6 sheep head, not the hogs but still fun to catch.
5 very small white perch.
next two days look iffy, given the weather.
back soon,
