Nice Slab Black Crappie In Presque Isle Bay

Decided to search for crappie since the perch have seemed to move out. Went wading in a favorite local hotspot in the lagoons of Presque Isle Bay. Had the place to myself, as most people have given up on the spot. I chased a few remaining spawning crappie. Got into some nice slab black crappie. Used an ice jig tipped wih a shiner. About a foot under the bobber and waded around. Nice mess of fish with a couple of nice perch mixed in.

White Perch Abundant At Erie PA Pier

Took my son night fishing and we had an action filled evening. A large school of fat White Perch were off the pier and hitting hard. Caught a bucket full in strong SouthEast winds just before a front. Also caught rock bass, sheepshead, silver bass, and

a few nice yellow perch. The bite was on. The only bad thing was realizing this is clearly an end to the perch season. Yellow perch will soon be gone. I give it a week.

Perch Still Remain In Lake Erie Channel

Headed to the pier for a morning of fishing. Windy, strong East and cold temps. Bite was good, landing a nice pile of perch. Size was on the smaller side, releasing many dinks. Perch fishing has been tough this year, not yielding large numbers of fish. With the water temp climbing,I only see about 2 weeks left of perchin.
