sat perch report

[wayne johnson]

also were we are fishing we are fishing for jumbos we try to keep nothing less than 9 inches, unlles badly hooked or blown stomach them will get mixed in. thats why also we go thru so maney minnows, plus you have cleints that never fished before that don't have the feel to fish the deeper water, coming from the western end and perch fishing down there for last fifty years
with light sinkers and lighter rigs, and coming here with the heavier sinkers heavier line and different rigs takes a while to adjust, plus down here it one tap and its three strip hooks. hope this ansewers some question. Wayne Reel sport team. look at our super perch picture that capt juls post for us, these are the perch we are targing.

Wayne, since you brought up the difference in the West End fishing, I have been meaning to ask you and Troy how you guys like fishing to the East since you moved your boats. I'm sure all the algae they had around Toledo mad you glad you were fishing around and east of the islands. Just curious if you're happy with the move and maybe what you like most about it.

Thanks for all your reports!

I love the move to the east. The eye fishing was incredible this year. Still figuring out the perch. Definitely different down here than to the west. The size has been awesome so far and everyone says it will keep getting better.

Probably the most impressive though is the quality of the people I have met in cgm. From the owners down to all the fellow boaters everybody has been helpful and very friendly. Very high quality all the way around ( even the trolling clan) just kidding guys had to throw it in there. Still a lot of guys I haven't met yet too and am trying to before the year is over.

Very glad to have made the move

Couldn't agree with troy more, channel grove is great, everyone is happy and helpfull, bait shop, resturants, and lodging are great, deep water harbor, fishing size and numbers has been unbeliable, less time on water, spending half amount of fuel chasing the fish, its been a great move should have done years ago, and would highly recomened to everyone else.

Is the spring fishing over there good or is it primarily a summer/fall fishery?

Thanks for the replies Wayne, and Troy. I am just the weekend fisherman when time allows me but I am looking toward buying a bigger boat that I can dock over there at CG. with my walleye.com hero's! A few weeks ago we ducked in to Kelly's to weather a storm at the sports bar on the West side.....name escapes me....anyway, we were talking to a good bunch of guys in there and low and behold, they were from CG as well.I know from the help you guys are always willing to lend that is the place I'd want to be.

But I do miss the regular posts from Skipper Jim......I know he still posts here but it doesn't seem as much now that he is a Facebook celebrity. Some day I'll get off the water long enough to stop over there to meet all of you.

You will enjoy it at cgm. I cannot answer the early season fishing, although i know that in may guys were catching fish right in front of the opening. Not sure about the april jig bite. There are a few reefs around the marina but I havn't fished them personally during the jig time. Will have to wait till next year to find out!

Sorry.. I really try and keep up. So many of you just call me and I barely keep up with that. Lol. But I love hearing from you all. I read all the posts and everyone has been spot on so I have just been reading the posts. But I am so proud of you honest fisherman.
