Fishing Report Perch - North Shore - Saturday, July 30th

[Duck Soup]

Launched at Turkey Point. Met a boat returning from off shore fishing saying it was too bumpy to be out there. Fished the North Shore for perch. The northwest breeze and cooler temperatures made it very comfortable all along that coast. Three of us were rewarded with 62 keeper perch 8 to 11" for 3 hours of effort. Lots of undersized fish but they kept us entertained. We used shiner minnows and strategies ranging from drop shot to spinner baits....they all worked.

Locals usually define the north shore as the shoreline between Port Dover and Turkey Point. A sure sign that there are perch available is seeing a bunch of boats at anchor fishing with minnows or worms. That said, if you can find your own school of perch you can really do well before others join in.

Yeah! We bought 2 scoops and most of the minnows were just used to feed the fish. We caught about 3 or 4 smaller perch for every keeper. Tried artificial baits but they didn't work.
