Hastings July 6

[zxninja]

Took my daughter and her friend out for our first perch run of the year. Launch at 10am, fished 48fow and were back in by 12pm. The bite went in ten minute waves of non stop to one every couple mins. Although not as thick as I've been on them in the past, the action and size was good enough to stay put. We ended up with 75 beauties between 10-13" and not a minnow to spare. Another great perch run and a reasonable amount to fillet without going overboard.

that makes more scents ,,my boat will do 50 miles a hour and it takes me at least half hour to get there most days a bit more..lol it is a 305 chevy .. 50 bucks in gas ,lol

Yeah I'm looking at 1 hr. to get to hastings/long point area, I have a 18ft. 120 h.p. averaging 23 m/hr in my 1977 starcraft. 50 bucks in gas also maybe more if I'm looking for the perch.

You guys are correct. I am lucky enough to have a place on Hastings that has been in our family for well over 50 years, and also one of the lots that is able to launch a boat off of it. It sure makes for a good day beeing able to to quick one hour perch runs when I have guests up and am trying to get everyone a chance to fish in a day.

Zxninja, thanks for your perch reports over the years(and weather too off hastings), your a very valuable asset to this Fishing Board(stomp's) and community.. It has been a pleasure sharing information with you and former member Big Dave.

Seeing as Big Dave is not around on this forum anymore, it will be guys like you and me and all the other forum members that will have to step up to the plate and fill it some "shoes" for the people who haven't experienced the Hastings perch fishing scene. I haven't been able to fish that much this year due to injuries and operations of the past, but when I get out the reports will be online.

Anyways I will be heading out again, hopefully Friday to hastings, and will report my perch findings. I will post a pic of my P.B. 14 7/8" perch I nailed last saturday off of hastings ( in front of Zx's cottage...lol....) . P.s. Hope Stomp don't get mad about mentioning dave on here..............sorry Stomp!!!

Thanks for the reports ,I am 45 minutes away from the lake so I am never 100 percent sure what the waves are down there ..Dutch

 

[RobNPerch]

Yeah I'm 1:40 min. away from Burwell, so zx's weather reports make a difference compared to the weather sites geustimates, but I really like the perch reports
