Perch fishing Report from this weekend

[Pat Burch 0]

Spent most of the day Saturday fishing for perch with a couple of clients. We managed to keep 23 perch over 10 inches with the biggest measuring 13" We started deep just west of 3 mile in 30-32 feet and that produced a few nice perch one 12 incher and one 13 incher and some smaller ones. We moved of that area about 10:00 and headed to some of the bays and worked the shallow water 10-12 feet. The bite was non stop, you had to use a camera to keep the little ones away and wait for the bigger ones. In the shallow water we really had to weed through them to keep the other 21 Perch over 10 inches. The big big boys seems to still be deep, but don't forget to check shallow water, the patience of weeding through the small ones can really put together a nice mess of 10-11 inchers right now and the bigger ones should move into these areas in another 2-3 weeks as well. Good luck fishing every

Good report thanks! Do you mind disclosing your bait of choice?

Sure, a small doodle bug with a treble hook worked the best. Tip with a small crappie minnow head or pile on a bunch of euro larve covering each hook of the treble. Perch colored lures worked the best.

Hey Pat, been a while since you posted on here. I was wondering where you have been. Wanted to say thanks again for the lift during the fall trolling GTG at Appledoorns. It was a great time fishing with you out there.

Hey, Tom I have been busy. Mostly fishing. I usually post fishing reports onn a regular basis on the hunters point website, but try to get on here once and awhile still. I will try to post more often in the summer. Maybe I will see you up on the pond again this summer.
