Perch, Perch, Perch!
If you still have your boat in the water, you’re in luck. The perch fishing has been red hot the past 3-4 weeks and with the weather looking as good as it is this weekend, many of you are going to slaughter them!
Perch galore from Lake St. Clair
We met today with Captain Dan at Lakeside Fishing Shop, a sponsor of The Lake St. Clair Tourism Initiative. Where to go this weekend? According to Dan, “The Mile roads are great. The GP Yacht Club is smoking hot! Fish in 8-13 feet of water using live minnows. Anglers need to move around a bit but everyone is catching fish…some jumbos and lots of mid-sized ones.” Also check out Point Huron and the South Channel. These are American waters and you use less gas and no need for a Canadian license. “The lake is loaded with perch right now,” said Dan.
According to Captain Dan the perch have been schooling up due to the cooler evening temperatures recently. Also, the mud and dirt are gone and the winds have died down making fishing conditons perfect.
Live bait appears to be the way to go and judging by the long line for emerald shiners this morning at Lakeside, anglers are buying them up.
If you have photos of your catch, please send them in and we will publish them along with your fish story (report@stclairfishingreport.com).
