Small Size Perch Dominates Morning


Went out before work today to the pier. Got to my spot before light. Non stop action, caught at least 40-50 perch. Kept 4 nice ones. Many, many dinks. A small class size must be moving through the channel at this time. Still waiting for the jumbos.

Perch Bite Intense At Daybreak At Pier



Went perch fishing before work today. Got to the pier before light. First one out today, ran for my spot. Frigid temps in the 30's with a howling Northwest wind. As soon as my line hit the water, perch were hitting. One rod was all I could control the first hour. Caught 9 keepers, including one jumbo laker. This is a good sign, lakers may be here for this week. Will chase the perch this week.

Arrowheads Found In Artifact Search Pennsylvania


Went for a walk today for about 5 hours. Found 8 worked pieces, only 2 complete heads. Walked an old corn field in Erie County. All triangle points. Did see a lot of sign. Hope this field gets turned over fresh for this year. Saw many footprints in the field before me, so I thought I was lucky to find this many artifacts. We have had 3 days of rain to uncover more points. All in all, a good day.

Short Bite For Perch Off South Pier



Went out early today fishing for perch. Caught 3 keepers and a few dinks from 6:00am to 6:45. Bite went to nothing as the sun came up. Perch have been only active the first hour in the mornings. Will keep trying and hopefully the fishing gets better.

Arrowheads Found In Erie County Pennsylvania



Took a walk today to start the new season of hunting for artifacts. Spent about 4 hours this afternoon in a field in Erie County. Field was left over from last year, old till. I saw the farmer a few days ago starting some of the fields close to this one when I was out scouting, so I knew I did not have much time. I wanted to take a look before he rough tilled it. Rocks were easy to see as they had abundant rain and snow from the fall and winter. Found a total of 13 worked pieces, only two complete heads. Mostly pieces and parts of triangles. This is what I commonly find in this area. I found one interesting stone, with a curved groove on the surface. Groove was polished and deeply enlayed. Never seen this before. I will have to try and research this stone. Was a good day finding many worked pieces and lots of sign. Looking forward to heading out again soon.
