I've got some in my freezer but they came off the pier in Pt Bruce and it hasn't exactly been "on fire" and my numbers are down a bit from last year at this time. It's been some fairly long days, especially on the "better" days I've had so far this year. (May 24, 26 and June 9 have been my best days so far )
I started on May 11 and and the first 4 times I went I only managed to catch a total of 5 yellows. Then I had a pretty good week a few weeks ago, then back to "ok" the following week, but nothing spectacular to speak of in terms of size or numbers, (30 was my best day so far and the biggest I've caught so far has been 10" )
Then last Friday I came home with 18 but again, although the ones I brought home were big enough to bring for the car ride, there were no 10" ones and certainly weren't any "jumbos." I haven't yet seen any yellows caught while I've been there this year that were bigger than 10"
Not sure when I'll be going this week. Depends on what mother nature has in mind. I might take a chance and go tomorrow, or I might wait until either Wed, Thurs, or Fri, maybe all three if I don't go tomorrow, or maybe none of them.
The other thing I've noticed over the past few years is that there are few people posting about any perch success and that could be because people have been having a hard time finding them, walleye/pickerel have been so easy to find, or they are finding them, but they're keeping it to themselves. I know a lot of the time when I'm sitting on the pier and I see boats out where the perch "usually" are found, anyone coming in from that general area has given me >>
when I ask how they did.
