Lake Erie Boating For Schools Of Yellow Perch



Was lucky to get on Lake Erie today. My buddy called me late last night and said he had a spot open on his boat. My first time on open water this year. Small old boat, a 16 ft Larson. We headed out from the launch at 6:15 and returned with our limits of yellow perch by 9:30. I was done in an hour and a half, 30 in the bucket. We were in about 60 ft of water off the Lighthouse. Large pack of boats, at least 75-100 were there. It is not hard to find the perch pack. A simple bit of advice is to anchor down just outside the pack. We scanned the fish finder and found a large school on the bottom just north of the pack. This is a great tactic, fish usually less spooked and you will have an area of feeding fish to yourself. Used spreaders and live emerald shiners. Constant action off the bottom. Looking forward to going again.
