Early season Lake Erie fishing is easy if you simplify and target yellow Perch The Cattaraugus Creek area has several boat ramps and parking lots. The yellow perch limit is fifty perch daily per angler. Spring fishing has the perch in less than 55 foot of water and near shore. Tackle is a spinning rod, up to three rods per person light line with three snelled hooks and a sinker. Rods used are three per person and emerald shiners for bait on each hook. If you see a boat catching stop nearby. The more bait in the area holds traveling schools of perch around plentiful bait nearby. Three persons on board yields 27 minnows under your boat that will hold a school of perch under your boat that you can anchor up or spot lock with an expensive electric gps connection on your boat. With a 150 daily limit of perch, the yield of 300 filets that will feed a famiiy of four a year. Always have coolers of ice to preserve your fresh caught fish. Live wells turn warm as soup and your fish spoil. Your children will not be bored watching trolling hours going by. Good luck and do not become bamboozled by the large walleyes caught nearby. Be happy with the yellow perch.

Perch success is the ability to attract and keep under your boat a school of perch. If your screen shows them, anchor up the wind and current to hold your boat over the school on the screen. If you see a boat catching perch, move over nearby. If he feels you are crowding him, tell him to leave if he wants. He is fortunate as the more bait nearby holds a perch school in the area. When setting your perch lines, the more hooks, 15 hooks per line is legal, and minnows will keep the perch nearby and if you have two other anglers set up this results in a school of perch of about over near ninety minnows with their odors attracting more perch to your area. The most productive hook is your bottom hook near you weight. The minnow in the mud is more productive since the perch do not have to expend more energy to catch the fleeing minnows. I have taken coolers of perch this way. This time of year with falling surface water temperatures the perch schools will be inside 65 foot of water with 55 foot a good searching place. Lake Erie is like a river with bottom currents flowing and east winds will have the current flowing southwest. Jim Drozdowski Sr. -
On my visit to Talkeetna, Alaska we were treated to a nice meal. Halibut tacos, made with fish instead of hamburger. Absolutely delicious, so google up the halibut taco recipes where you can use walleye or yellow perch instead of frying them in grease.

When you pick out Center Road on the hillside, it runs rom shoreside to the Ridge Top, you are in a good area to start -
Google up the Anchorage Daily News for the story of the record run of sockeye Red Salmon in the Bristol Bay. The Fish scientists are baffled.
-
Due west from Point Breeze is as close to "Center Road fishing than NW from the Catt.
-
Deeper water off shore.
-
Four boats went out yesterday nd all boxed out on walleyes quickly.
-
Not marking fish could mean the fish are suspended and they flee from the boat as it passes over them. -
Correction, PacBac cooler, Icast product of the year.
-
It contains a cleaning board, vacuum sealer and has won fishing new award.
-
Depleted dissolved oxygen at greater depths cause fish to suspend above them. The oxygen is consumed by organics decaying. Plankton, dead fish and dead zebra mussels contribute to this condition. Ninety foot of water with 77 degree surface waters usually are the dead zone in Lake Erie.

Thank you. -
Snap weights instead of leadcore speed up your fishin time.
-
After last weeks lightning show, really how could those towers survive? Soon the water spout season will resume and will the towers survive those winds?
-
The lack of smelt in the lake is causing walleyes to feed upon perch that hold close to the bottom. Bottom bouncing is becoming more effective than lead core lines and side planers that target suspended walleyes.
-
Smelt seem to be lacking in the innards of walleyes. What have you seem? -
There is a picture of a ten pound walleye with six perch in its innards. Two large and four small perch is what it feeds on so if you want a large walleye use larger baits.
-
55 to 65 foot of water showed walleyes at that depth now with the 70 degree surface water temperatures. -
A drain box on the side of the boat is used by commercial trollers to handle their fish. More important is a bag of ice that will safely preserve the fish for your family.
-
Stickbaits on sideplaners with snap weights over 55+ feet of water out to the Canadian line and West is a good place to start. Mayflies are hatching now and walleyes feed on them as they leave the surface -
They now are in bloom along the Old Lakeshore Road. The walleyes are on the feed now.

Walleyes at night in shallow water have produced with stick baits and long lines.

Dunkirk and Barcelona deep waters are where tons of whitefish are harvested in mid summer warm waters. Perch fishermen should go out there. Anchoring needs triple the depth anchor line. Spot lock electric bow motors will hold you over the fish. -
Walleye spawning must be fishing, a two week wait for them to turn on n midwaters. Soon it will happen for side planers and stick baits or worm harnesses.
