You're not reading all the reports then...there are perch in the south passage in front of Mazuriks, Lakeside, and the lighthouse. Check the buoy in front of Cedar Point on your way out of the channel too. There were boats perch'n on the east side of Kelly's this week, but I don't know how they did.

I ran to Green last Saturday and did "so-so"...found them in front of Mazurik's that day and did well there.

They are in the area, so you don't have to run to the west. Just find some marks on your sonar and then fish for them.

Good luck.
