Fishing Report Perch - Port Burwell - Saturday July 4th

[Quinn]

Headed out around 6am and headed straight for the Sand Hills. Started in 37 feet and action was slow but steady. Died by 7:30, went in shallow to 24 feet to try the mudline, nothing. Moved out to 42 feet and was pretty constant action until 9:30 or so. Ended up keeping 43 perch. Lots of fat ones again.

Was only a handful of boats at the Hills, but looked to be at least 30+ boats in the distance at Clear Creek/Hastings so I’m assuming it was just as good if not better. A dozen boats at the silver barn on the way in.

Until next weekend.

My son and his friends were at clear creek

Not as many jumbos as I got yesterday but still very nice

Already a couple perch with a beat up dorsal fin. Next to nothing left of it. Would that be caused from nets? Spawning? Thoughts?
