The perch bite’s going on in the harbor. Anchored at main and south gaps for couple hours on Saturday, to boat 10 nice fish, tween 11 and 14 inches. Got em on jig/plastic, and vertical jigging spoon…also, gold hook and minnow. Went trolling for Browns afterwards, and pretty slow…boated one and lost one.
Z-man:
Sounds like you were in Milwaukee? Great mess of perch.

Yes, Mark….anchored in the main gap for an hour, and then the south gap for an hour, before we started trolling for the browns. The bite’s still on from what I hear, but work keeps getting in the way, not to mention the lousy weather/winds past few days. Does Kenosha/racine have a perch bite going??
Z-man:
could, but I haven’t heard of anything from that side of things yet. I haven’t been able to get out either as my job got bigger with the loss of a couple of key people. Oh well, it will only get better!!!

Hit the big Pond again on the afternoon of friday the 15th, this time with the kids and wife, hoping an active perch bite would keep them interested. The bite was ok, but the hook-up-ratio not so good, so after about an hour or so, and 5 perch later, the kids got antsy. so, I switched to Plan B: set up at the south gap with three lead core rods, and trolled to the Main gap outside the breakwall..first pass yielded two browns, about 3 and 6 pounds, and a ten pound laker. Had one fishless daughter, so tried two more passes, with no more hits, and called it quits on the fishing, as I had a mutiny on my hands…they were already bored. so we boated the river into downtown for a leisurely cruise, and called it a day at 6 pm. Perch came anchored just inside the south gap, on minnows/hook and lite weight to get it down to the bottom in 33 or so FOW.
