LAKE ERIE JUMBO JACK PERCH

[Jimdski]

Starting from Point Breeze yesterday with my son and nephew aboard, we stopped several times after spotting small hooks on the bottom with our sonar resulting ln occasional perch,  with a call from a neighbor, we went off Silver Creek  70 foot of water. Several boats out there were pulling a few perch out and we let out our anchor with 200 foot of scope. Suddenly about 11:30 AM, the bite turned on. With a bluebird sky and high sunlight the perch schools were moving to deeper water tp avoid the sun. Continuous catched of larger 12 to almost 15 inch perch were taken to about 3:30 PM, Things slowed down then and we pulled the anchor about 4:00 PM, The caych was 93 jumbo perch with 70 perch between 12 and 15 inches.  Small emerald shiner minnows obtained frpm  Ferry Street Bait store woked best, The noon hour tips were important,

The best secret to catch perch is to have an emerald shiner minnow laying on the mud bottom. Perch will feed off a dead minnow before chasing a suspended minnow above the lake bottom. Always have a snelled hook tied  to the sinker and let the sinker rest on the bottom. Occasionally lift the line and be aware although no bite has been felt, the extra weight indicates a perch can be hanging on.

And if your running a spreader rig with multiple hooks and get one on, don't be afraid to leave it down there for a few moments before reeling it in. Thats how you attract other fish and catch doubles.

Curious are you fishing lake Erie or Lake Ontario?

The only point breeze I know is on Lake Ontario.

A Kenmore Fish Market Store has Lake Erie Yellow Perch filets for $22.00 a pound now.

$22 a pound, I should take up fishing!

$60,000 for a boat divided by 22 and I only gotta catch 2728 perch till i'm in the money.

Oh yea, a few more for gas and beer.
