Nice job, Troy.
I thought I did good at her spot with 22.5lbs. I have never done that good west of Conneaut.

Woot! Woot! Glad they were still there for you. My walleye trip today has turned into a perch trip, so I'm hoping they are still there again today and that all you guys left me some. lol

I should have taken a picture of the pile of fillets. I have never filled 2 gallon ziplocs with 60 perch before. Usually its 1 full bag and half the next one. It will probably never happen again,lol...unless i troll for them, right skipper! Just kidding. Good luck to all this weekend. I am hoping for one more trip and then next friday its off to Osullivan lake for a week of walleye, pike, and lake trout fishing. Everyone be safe this holiday weekend, and watch out for all the idiots!

Were those numbers south of middle island, or were they south of middle bass island, not where gps will pinpoint em, thanks, Mike

[troy1976]

South and a little west of middle island. Not middle bass. I didn't realize there even was a middle island till yesterday

If I remember right that is about 40' of water w/ rock bottom? I have had a hard time getting my anchor to stick if that is the same place I'm thinking. Has there been a pack of boats out in the area? I hate screwing around w/ the anchor especially when there are a lot of boats around

I had a good report about 2 miles east of Kelley's but I always have a hard time getting the anchor to stick?

I have a vacation day so I'm going to try for some perch by myself tomorrow so I am still up in the air on where to try.

N41.40.557 W082.43.572 not a rocky bottom and only 34-35' of water there. Perch are still there, but it's a later bite. Not an early one. The farm animals are up early though...

Do youi have a length of chain in front of the anchor? it helps it bite. Also a long enough rope. Let the achor drop till it hits bottom, feed out 2 to 3 times the depth, let the drift pull upp the slack and while it is doing that jerk the rope a few time to get it to bite in. even feed out more line if you need to. this works for me.
