Perch report Wed Nov 4 2020

[menacers]

Hit the inner bay with my uncle at noon 2 days ago, spent 4 hours, skunked. (A few really dinky perch throwbacks). Went back out yesterday around 1:00 p.m. got lucky with one keeper over 3 hours. Overall an absolutely unproductive outing.... But....

It all changed at around 4:00 When we landed on a honey hole and it was double header perch (on a dual t-turn swivel setup with minnows) nonstop for an hour straight! All of the fish were large.

If it wasn't a double header, there was always a perch following the second hook as you pull up the one that bit.

Saw a large pike following the hooks and even holding on to some of the perch as we were pulling them out. This happened more than once, even had an instance where a pike was tied up in the line but we still had a perch on the hook That didn't put an end to the catching spree and despite the presence of a large pike these fish were still biting.

Absolutely the most unbelievable perch fishing I have ever experienced in my life!

Some nice fat jumbos there. Congrats on your catch.

Very good looking afternoon catch. Wish the boat was in the water.
You have to love a hour of DP action.

Thanks for the report.
the sun burn is cramping the duck hunting. So may try some perchin tomoro.
Hate to ask. Feels like I’m asking what river the steelhead are hot in.
But dose anyone have minnows on a Friday am near rowen.

Sounds like a fun day. How were the waves in the inner bay? Great pic.

Mid afternoon it was a little wavy but smooth come evening.
I find the turkey point windfinder forecast to be quite accurate for inside the inner bay

I'm new to the area and eager to catch some trout. Are there any opportunities on big Creek near the mouth of the bay? I'm not sure of any steelhead areas in Long point.
I've read brook trout can be caught in Long point Bay but I'm not sure where

Im planning on heading out on the weekend. Was thinking of fishing around EC 10. Does anybody have any other spots where there are perch to be had?

Great haul menacers. Where did you get minnows and what marina did you launch from? Thanks.

Minnows caught on shoreline, and launched from cronmillers at the bridge.

Think I saw a post from last night which mentioned Erie bait has minnows. Personally I find a tipping with worm works

Great haul of Erie gold @menacers, congrats!
