Fall Perch Run Presque Isle Bay

Decided to try some Fall fishing in Presque Isle Bay. Water temp has been dropping with cooler nights and this triggers fish. Fall fishing can be fantastic. Fish gorge as they prepare for winter. Caught over 100 perch in 3 hours. One pole is all I could handle. A mix of sizes. Kept from 8 inch to a nice jumbo at 14. The bite was steady from first light till about 11:00am. Very eager fish. They often hooked themselves and had many doubles. Kept only fish that were fillet worthy. Very fast action.

Fall Mix Of Panfish Erie Bay

Did an evening trip to the Bay and found some hungry panfish. Caught a nice mix of crappies, bluegills, perch,
rockbass, sheepshead, and gobies. Good action. kept a couple nice slabs for the fryer. Fishing is good now, will be excellent as the water temp comtinues to drop.
