Thanks for the input!
Thanks guys for the input. I was going to fish for perch but ended up fishing for walleye. We stopped at happy hooker to get bait and Dave told us there were still some walleye around Niagara. My cousin wanted to fish for walleye so off to the reef we went. Marked fish about 1/4 mile north west of the buoy in 29 to 30 foot of water. We tried spoons and crank baits and all we caught was junk fish. I was about ready to forget it and fish for perch. But I started changing boat speed and going thur different baits and colors and finally caught a walleye on a purple harness. But no more bites, so I changed to a watermelon blade and started catching them. We ended up with 7 keepers 16 to 24 inches and 5 throw backs.We might have filled a 2 man ticket but had to qwit fishing.
We ran #40 tru-trips 50 -65 back at 2.5 gps speed. All but one fish were caught trolling with the waves the fish were picky and the speed had to be right or you didnt get a bite.
The perch must have been biting good at b -can again when we went by most boats there were catching fish.Last edited by Fishin Crazy; 06-28-2012 at 12:29 AM. Reason: add to
