Jumbo Perch Still Hitting Of Pier In Erie PA



Went out at 5:00am. Was amazed that Jumbo lakers were still hitting off the pier. Caught 12 nice perch. One laker was 15 inches with a wide girth. Weighed 2.1 lbs. this would have been a state contender if it still had eggs. This was post spawn, with no eggs. Water temp getting hot, won't be long to they head deep.

A Nice Mix Of Panfish For The Bucket


Headed to Presque Isle to target crappie. Only caught 3 crappie, but many pan fish were hitting. Bluegill, rock bass, perch, and a few large mouth. Used a variety of jigs and plastics. Nice fillets for the table.

Found A Couple Of Points In Erie County PA



Went to check out a field yesterday on my day off. Spent the morning fishing in the rain, and then headed out to a field in Erie County. Found two points, both pretty much complete. Have worked this field several times before. Usually good for a point or two, but not much sign. Did see a lot of footprints. Looking was good with wet ground. Walked about 5 hours to get these two. A lot of walking for a reward of two artifacts.

Nice Limit Of Trout In Erie County Stream


Had a day off work today, went in the county to fish Temple Creek. Rain steady in the morning, but the creek was flowing perfect. Caught a nice number of trout, all on live minnows. Kept the largest 5 for my son, who loves to eat them. 4 Brookies and 1 brown. Nice quality fish, largest Brook Trout was 15 inches. Except for the steady rain, a nice day to be off work. The fish were there.

Small Size Perch Dominates Morning


Went out before work today to the pier. Got to my spot before light. Non stop action, caught at least 40-50 perch. Kept 4 nice ones. Many, many dinks. A small class size must be moving through the channel at this time. Still waiting for the jumbos.

Perch Bite Intense At Daybreak At Pier



Went perch fishing before work today. Got to the pier before light. First one out today, ran for my spot. Frigid temps in the 30's with a howling Northwest wind. As soon as my line hit the water, perch were hitting. One rod was all I could control the first hour. Caught 9 keepers, including one jumbo laker. This is a good sign, lakers may be here for this week. Will chase the perch this week.

Arrowheads Found In Artifact Search Pennsylvania


Went for a walk today for about 5 hours. Found 8 worked pieces, only 2 complete heads. Walked an old corn field in Erie County. All triangle points. Did see a lot of sign. Hope this field gets turned over fresh for this year. Saw many footprints in the field before me, so I thought I was lucky to find this many artifacts. We have had 3 days of rain to uncover more points. All in all, a good day.
