Starcraft 75 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 Haven't been out in over a week and wonder if anyone has found any perch out of Buffalo or the Catt. Searched Foot of ferry and down the river, couldn't find any emeralds. Any help would be appreciate.
Js003c Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 Really concerned over this lack of bait. The spring was thin to say the least as it relates to bait presence. Still nothing showing up this fall either. Makes me nervous. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United
overthelimit Posted October 19, 2018 Report Posted October 19, 2018 I don't think many have been out, the wind has been relentless

Pequod1 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 The last time the lake was fishable for me was Oct. 8. That stinks. I remember getting out a couple times a week a few years back in the fall. The perch were in 55' straight off the Cat but who knows now. Miller must be a real lonely guy the past week. No bait sales for a while for him.
Thechad Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 Pequod looks like wed might work for the Erie soldiers. Idk if there is a point to search for eyes or if I should ust go for perch now. I guess we will have to see. Looking forward to any reports next week.
Pequod1 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Posted October 21, 2018 NW winD Wednesday and Thursday. I guarantee good weather Friday . I will be out of town!
jimski2 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Posted June 12, 2019 Boxed out with three guys, perch. 54 to 58 foot of water, mud bottom. Goldens and salted emeralds did the trick.

Good going jimski. Where did you launch from? Yesterday I fished out of the Catt, I struggled to get 15. A couple of the boats I talked with were boxed out and said you needed emeralds. I only had small goldies. I'm traveling from Batavia area, where can i get some emeralds along the way
dukhnter8 Posted June 14, 2019 Report Posted June 14, 2019 Probably only gonna find salted shiners, but Miller's of the catt should have some. Maybe try captain bobs in Clarence.Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Erie United Mobile App
jimski2 Posted June 14, 2019 Report Posted June 14, 2019 Rig your pole with a half ounce or3/8 oz sinker, 20# braid and 3 snelled #4 or #6 Eagle Claw hooks from Wal Mart. Tie the hooks direct to the braid line. They are more sensitive to light bites or perch just mouthing the minnows. Swivel snaps, spreaders and other contraptions with heavy sinkers are not sensitive to many perch bites. Set the hooks 4 inches to up to 4 foot above the sinker. Most important is to use only one rod, you catch more perch with one rod since you are not wasting minnows with rods you watch and rebaiting them. Holding your rod is more productive since watching a rod for bites results in missing too many perch bites. Three or more guys in the boat with a lot of bait under the boat hold more traveling schools there. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App 1
daker1979 Posted June 16, 2019 Report Posted June 16, 2019 dukhnter.... Miller's had the small goldies only... Jimski.....basically my rig.... Direct tied # 4 hooks to my fluro leader with about 3" lead. I will do the 1 rod next time....... Is there any where to get emeralds? Where did you launch from?
daker1979 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 Fished Wednesday again out of the Catt. Picked up goldies and salted minnows from Miller's, and headed straight out to 53 fow. No real good sign of fish or bait on the FF..... But saw a couple of boats landing perch. Gave it a try and landed a couple of decent perch right away...... The bite was very lite, they were slowly sucking in the minnows. The only time the bite was better was when the wind picked up for about a half hour out of the north otherwise very flat.. Ended up with only 27 between the 2 of us
jimski2 Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 27 perch are 54 filets, many good meals.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App
daker1979 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 Made a solo trip out of the Catt.... Fished out in front.53fow......had a steady pick till about noon. Ended up with 40 all on goldies.
