Today I had a Tennessee crew on the Yar-Craft. They came up to see what Lake Erie perch fishing was all about. We launched from Sandusky and did some looking around.
Unlike my last trip, we had to move a couple of times before finding fish that wanted to cooperate. Also, the weather guessers......well they're not good at guessing 🙄. Anyhow, the first two spots we stopped were right where I have done very well the last two trips. The fish were there, but completely uncooperative. I had maybe two nibbles at both spots and 0 fish.
We ended up off of Catawba in 26 FOW and it was on from the first drop. Multiple doubles, a few throw backs and 🐑. But it was up and down the whole time. We got to 120 in a hurry!
Half minnows on Fishing Addiction Gear Perch Fly Rigs did the trick. I'm still using my vodka minnows from Friday 🤘. The bite was great once we found the right ones. The size of the fish was decent too. - Captain Bob
