Nice job on the perch I do believe that you are catching the perch like you said but I remember that you posted on your october 8th trip that you didn't limit, I can't believe you got 15 trips in since october 8th with the weather we had. Anyways sounds like you had a very good fall perch bite, nice job.

[wayne johnson]

will did get limit all trips the date you are questioning to all the clients
got thier limit we just didn't have the extra fish limit of the captains and first mate .which is an extra, that day we caught the clients limits , and they wanted jumbos and were throwing back
eight to nine inch perch, thats why we where short the two extra tickets, we will be posting pictures of last two days trips. p smitty was on five of them limit tips. first limit aug.19 last limit no. 15 oct. 23
good homework on your part .Capt. Mike and Wayne

We started W of WS Isl. and had a decent although smaller size bite. We sorted through them for about an hour when they just stopped. 45 min later we gave up and decided to head to turnaround. Really didn't want to go out that far w/ S wind gusting but it was laying down some so we went for it. Parked down N of #2 and started picking right away. Much nicer fish but the bite really slowed down in the afternoon. We picked at them from 12-3 and finished with 96, although they were turning on again at end. Had to get back or I believe we would have finished within an hour. Lots of 10+ fish. Unfortunately wind picked up and we had an hour boat ride to get back to entrance. And today my back is making me pay. Oh well, pay for your thrills I guess.

the red and white is 10.35 miles out of mienkes marina, where we are fishing 35 degress out of channel, roughly half way
between west sister and maumee river channel nearer to channel.

Awesome job. Is that Toledo Light #2? I trailer my 19ft. and was gonna try thursday or friday. Gonna put in at Mienke's.

[wayne johnson]

go 10.35 miles out at 35 degress, watch out for the nets,
go past second set of nets, and watch your depth finder,
for the school, theres three schools first two are smaller fish,
third one is the big ones, thier roughly a hundred yards apart,
keep lines on bottom with a litlle slack line, unbelivable
perching, also there a school two bouys past no.2 that some of the boats are working. good luck water is gin clear.

You said in your post that your streak was broken I was going by that, not trying to give you a hard time. I didn't think that you fished 15 times since the 8th.

[wayne johnson]

yes post said streak broken, to us if we don't get everyone
limit including the captains and first mate it not in our minds
a full limit, so yes in way your right and in another way we are right, its just how you look at it, lets put it this way 15 straight
times all clients got there limit. We take great pride to make sure our clients are happy, and spend maney hours before we hit the water to have 6 to 10 spots pick out before we leave the channel. We have been on the other side of the boat maney times, this year the perch gods were just on our side, I have been on this lake 48 years now and the captain 20 years, and we have seen it all, we just do alot of things most people don't do, that gives us an edge, one being leaving motor running whole time it draws the perch in like a magent, the other is to have 6 to 8 different styles of rigs ready to go incase one style doesn't work.
plus maney other little tricks. I like you style, I like to be given a hard time, it keeps me on my toes to be a better first mate, Wayne
