Perch Boating Season A Good One On Lake Erie

My buddy invited me on a fishing trip on his boat today on Lake Erie. We made our trip out to the point in 55ft of water. Many boats in the perch pack, but we went about 150 yds outside the pack to the West and anchored. Caught our limits in about two hours and headed back to the marina. Perch were biting good on live emerald shiners. Lesson to be learned, you don't have to be in the perch pack to get them. Use them for a locator, and find more aggressive fish outside the pack.

Panfish Abundant In Erie Bayfront

Took my son for an evening of panfishing. Went to the Erie PA bayfront and tried a nice spot. You can fish just about anywhere along the bayfront and catch panfish. Caught several bluegill, perch, rockbass, and crappie. Kept about a dozen keepers and threw the dinks back. Lots of action!

Pennsylvania Lakes Great Fishing On Canoe

Took my son out for an evening canoe fishing trip on a local small lake in northwest Pennsylvania. Caught some Largemouth Bass and several nice Bluegills. Great action and fun. There are many small inland lakes in PA, and all are worth trying. With the canoe, it allows you to get away from the crowds and find deeper water.
