i was north of the town of pepin, used deer island road to get on the ice and drove south about a mile maybe???? sand flats and the perch had been using it 2 days before i was told

cabelas has them

fished monday feb 1st, inbetween nelson and wabasha, 2 guys 7 perch total for the whole day, 8 am to 5 pm, no one else around catching any either, maybe 15 people came out to fish, no one fished more then us.

tues feb 2nd went up to pepin in 9 ft of water, caught 10 perch for the two of us, mostly the same story as yesterday.

i would suggest you google “capt jules port clinton”, she has a daily blog during the season and is very willing to share colors, how much line to put out and much more. she gives locations and fish numbers caught.
last year was my 2nd going to lake erie and we followed her advice and most days filled up.

thanks for the info, i really appreciate it!!! good luck fishing to you!!!!!
