Perch fishing Catawba area

[half pole]

West side of kellys island right off stone docks is good perch fishing. Also Marblehead lite house area to cedar point is good as well

West and South of the red can at Gull Island Shoals is excellent for perch also. When the wind is right you can be fishing in 30 ft of water on the Shoal side of the boat and 35 ft on the south side of the boat. It is really a steep drop there and I play it safe and don't get shallower than 15 ft. If there are rollers coming from the NE you will be able to see where the island used to be as they will be crashing on it. But that is only one of many shallow areas at Gull Island shoals that is why there is an s on the end of shoal.

Lucy's Point is also good but don't go between the green can and Middle Bass, there are several shallow spots in there and you will see Herons standing on the submerged rocks on any given day. Ballast Island reef can be good also as well as Airport Reef east of Kellys. Like Walleye2go says get a good chart or better yet mapping GPS. Watch for Tibbles head boats any where between Kellys Island and South Bass as that whole area can be good and they are really good at finding the perch in that open water. Green Island is not that far either. I have to agree that the Harbors are well located for some great fishing with shorter running time.
