Your report is an honest reflection of what we have here in the western basin. I sense that you will be on a Perch Feeding Frenzy when the waters cool and the bigger ones arrive. By mid Sept you'll see the jumbos. Just a thought, if nothing is marking after 10 minutes this time of year, you might want to make a move.

We fished there for a while with no luck, then moved out to buoy 14 past the harbor light right off the channel on the South side. We picked up about 30 fish, one of them a 12". I also caught a 19" smallmouth. That might only be the second one of those I've ever caught perch fishing in 15 years.

About 12:00, the lack of wind and cloud cover ran us in (we forgot sunscreen).

Going back out tomorrow morning to try again. I heard reports of the green and white buoy doing well also. It seems that they aren't in quite as close anymore.

Good luck to everyone! It looks like it's going to be a great week for fishing.
