Perch

[Pequod1]

Thinking about searching for perch tomorrow. Any recent reports?  I looked a few times after boxing out on walleyes but only found a few small scattered schools. Thanks.

Found some perch off of sturgeon point yesterday in 62 degree water that was surrounded by 66 to 68 degree water in 51 foot.

Fished Saturday 9/27/25. Headed way east to avoid the eyes. Had a flurry first light of good size. That died out and took it offshore running thru countless spots and depths. Nothing going. Back inshore more west, handful of my milk run spots that were completely void. 1 last spot to check before heading in. jackpot  44-46fow. Size was excellent and the bite was steady. Picked 20 real quick and called it good enough. Hopefully these cold nights coming up start kicking it off. Seems a few weeks behind imo

Over the last two days, I’ve put in over 16 hours, from silver creek to east of sp, depths from 40-78fow. For a total of 0 perch. Haven’t even bothered to drop a line anywhere. I’ve never seen this before

That's discouraging. I was hoping to get some this fall. I wonder if some DEC guy knows what's going on there.

I talked to the Dec survey kids both days and they said no one is catching any perch and quite a few guys are targeting them. Things could change any day now tho. Ill be back at it again tomorrow trying off Hamburg
