Limits Of Brown Trout Elk Creek Erie PA


Took my son for an evening of trout fishing on Elk Creek. We caught 10 nice browns in about 45 minutes. Live shiners were the bait of choice. Fish were aggressive.Fun to be out and lots of trout left in the streams.

been taking my son pier fishing for Lake Erie perch. Bite has been slow, hitting only early morning and late evening at dark. Action only lasting a few minutes. Size has been good this year, with quality fish. Also caught a nice smallmouth.

Nice Spring Mix Of Panfish Lake Erie


Went out this morning to look for perch. Strong west winds hammered the piers. I managed 6 nice perch, a bluegill, and 2 nice crappie. A nice tasty meal. Fish hit hard at 6:30 am then quit by 7:30am.

Son Catches Monster Lake Erie Perch



My son got up early at 5:00 to fish the cold waters of Lake Erie today. Slow bite, only managed three Perch. But they were monsters! 14+ inches with huge girth. Nice fish, but the sunny weather made for slow fishing. He also caught a smallmouth bass. Cold, sunny day. Not a good perchin day. Will be out Monday morning!

Perch Season Fair To Good On Lake Erie



Had some time off work this week and have been hitting spots along the Erie Bay front. Found perch at every outing, but not in great numbers. Size has been good, with consistent catches. So far not many limit days of perch. Weather has been too good. No fronts this week to keep them active. Bite has been real early or real late. No in between perch like last year with wet rainy weather. Been fishing every morning, with the bite slowing by 8:00am. Here are some pics from this week. The run should get better in the upcoming weeks.
