Spring Boating Out Of presque Isle Yields Limit Of Yellow Perch

Took the boat out for the first time of the year. Ice has just left the bay, and we anchored in deep water targeting perch. 3 of us ticketed out by 8:30am. 90 perch I the cooler. Wide range of sizes from 7inch to 15. Shiners on the bottom with spreaders.

Spring Crappie Fishing Presque Isle Bay Erie

Took my boat out on Presque Isle Bay for some early crappie fishing. Fished just outside a weedbed in shallow water. Found a hot spot, started catching fish immediately. Look for warmer water areas just after ice. Target structure and weed beds. Used a white jig head tipped with emerald shiners. Single split about 1 foot and half down from small bobber. Crappie were stacked and plentiful. Were excellent tasting in very cold water.
