mikey eyes Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Or see Mar Mar at the Ft. Of Ferry for a quality hand made hoop net. You can't beat themSent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Moser Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 ya i agree with mikey eyes, go to foot of ferry ask around for Mar Mar he is a little Korean looking guy. he is down there most days where the wall cuts in. he makes some great nets, cash only was like $35. I have two and most of my friends have got them from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrymny Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 No perch reports, is it too early in the fall? Thanks. Also, what do they look like on the screen. My guess is they look different then the arches, hooks, of bigger fish but different than bait balls too.Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Erie United Mobile App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineman49 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 They look like mounds or piles stretched out right on the bottom. I also think the water temp. right now is still a bit too warm , it has gone up the last few days, & they are still out deep & maybe scattered.

Pequod1 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Lineman is right on on the perch . I looked for 2 hours out of Dunkirk Wednesday with only a handful of links to show for it. Weather changes next week Thursday. A week of cooler water should get them going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warm water temps don't effect them Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimski2 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 One boat reported deep perch schools in70 foot of water near the Canadian line today off Port Colborne.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod1 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I read the reports from the west end too. The lake is very different there. Shallow, and a lot more structure. The big thing is bait. There seems to be a lot more of it and right now there are very few walleyes there to compete for it. The shallow north ends of the finger lakes arte similar and I catch perch there all summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Sparrow Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I've wondered the same thing wojo....... Off Erie Pa. the lake is similar in depth to SP and the Catt, and they target perch all summer...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimski2 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I am disturbed by a lack of pinheads near shore this year. Anyone notice this also?Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod1 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I saw tons of pinheads out of Dunkirk Wednesday. After boxing out on eyes today, we looked for perch. Found some in 78' got a quick dozen and came back to port. We were straight out of the Cat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Sparrow Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 after a limit of walleyes yesterday, out of the Catt, we went on a perch search, and in 4 hours, found 2 different locations that held some fish. We wound up with 50ish fish, but some of the fish from the first location in 65 fow were absolute beasts, 13+". Spitting up gobies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod1 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Fantastic. I have been looking in 72-74' and found a few . We have not fished for them long though but I will do the walleye first and the perch second tomorrow. Did you have live goldens or salted niagaras?

Bills25 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Worked hard for 40 keepers today, moved around off sturgeon point fish were caught between 63-70 on goldens. Could have caught more but ran out of bait. First 3 fish were 12-13in with in the first 5 mins of fishing thought it was going to be an amazing day still did well though!!!Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
