Shallow Water Lake Erie Fishing Reels In Action

Tried to venture out to the perch schools today in deep water. Strong West winds kept me away. Instead of giving up, I fished shallow water with safer waves. I caught a limit of Perch and several nice bluegill. All you have to do is focus on structure. I scan the shallow water with my finder and find areas of dense structure. Drifting over them, with light tackle, produced amazing results. These areas held a nice variety of panfish. I worked jigs tipped with minnows and covered many small areas of structure.
