several weeks ago they were getting them off of the fog horn and 27fow off of the space needle. Small but good numbers.

 

We went out a couple nights ago and went due east off the bell buoy for 1.5 miles and caught bigger perch than we were getting off the space needle. Needed 8 scoops of shiners to get our 4 man limit because there were so many white perch but had an 8.5" average on our catch. Had quite a few double headers and even one triple with an 8" yellow perch on one hook, a 17" sheephead on the other hook and an 11" white perch wrapped up in the line above the yellow perch. What a fight that was.

 

Thanks guys. Gonna go out in the morning and try it out.

 

Slow day yesterday, 24ft of water,3hrs we caught 19fish. Couple over 10" but mostly small. Caught most of them around noon. Hope it picks up soon.

 

mtd doesnt make john deere or husqvarna


I copied this here from the husqvarna thread

 

Been doing pretty good in that area. Tried Sunday and nothing. I think that blow on Friday had everything stirred up.

 

Gonna try again this Sunday,supposed to be nice out.

 

We will be out there bright and early Sunday morning as well. If I can get two or three people lined up I hope to have our perch limit by 8am then make a run to the east side of KI to troll for some 'eyes. I had some excellent marks between the airport and Lucy's point in tight last Saturday but it was too muddy to get them going. Hoepfully they are still in that area.

 

do any good lately??? Any open seats if you go out this weekend???
I'm only 17 but if you take me I can take some of my dads beer if you wouldn't mind he drinks Busch light( my favorite) thanks man

We ended up going off the airport in 40 fow and had a long day (7 hrs for our limit) but great quality of fish for this time of year. Probably 20 of our 60 were over 10". Also trolled for an hour 22 fow off Lucy's point heading south for a quarter mile and back and picked up a handful of barely legal walleye.

 

Started off at the se corner of kelleys in 35fow and hit em good for a couple hrs. Then moved north towards the run way and had nothing. Moved to The bell buoy and hammered out a couple more. Ended up with 54 perch with 3 guys. Not a amazing day but was fun,decent fish. Don't mind redneckgil,he drowned quite a few minnows today. Lol.

 

Where is the bell buoy?

 

K&D it is the green channel can 1 mile east of the Cedar Point breakwall fog horn.

There was a dead time for us off the runway as well between 11 am until noon so we decided to troll for an hour then came back off the runway to get our last 15 fish. We were the most NE boat in the pack in my aluminum Triton.

 

Fished just east of the bell Sunday morning.Started about 9:30.Kinda slow at first but heated up around 10:30 or so then shut off about 1:00.Ended up with 68.Nothing real big all about 8 or 9 in. Had to be right on the bottom to get em.

 

We got 4 man limit off Kelly's airport but we were fishin 40-41 ft of water. Marked a few here and there. They were tight to the bottom, very lite bite for sure.

 

50 yds. east of bell 2 guys took 15 perch 6 to 8:30 last night. Reeeeelly Sloooooooooooow. Avg. size nothin to brag about. Like the other guy said, you have to lay it on the bottom. I'm off this week lookin for reports around Kellys if anyone has any.

 

Not yet ! Thank God.

 

Several buoys in that area and it's been years since I fished there... so much appreciated

 

Anyone been around the bell buoy at all lately?? Thinking of heading there Sunday morning....weathers looking great.

 

I've been going to the second green can out of the Huron river and 38-40 feet of water north of Cranberry creek marina my last few trips and getting into a lot more 10-12" perch. A fast limit there works great because there are some nice walleye between the castle and old woman's creek in 24 fow ridge as well so I get to fish for both. Probably launching out of Cranberry both days again this weekend and perch early then run for the buoy if we limit fast or troll that area if the perch take longer to catch.

 

I'm docked in Sandusky but might have to run over towards Huron.

 

holy, I usually have an open seat or two when we go out if you ever want to run down toward Huron, Vermilion, Lorain or the weather buoy and don't have a boat filled up of your own you could join us. I'll probably launch out of Cranberry creek on Saturday morning around 6 am and fish until noon or so starting with the perch fisrt then chasing walleye for what time is left. Going to make the run to the weather buoy on Sunday morning looking for walleye only so I can get some time in prefishing for the big eye classic that is coming up in a few weeks. I have one open seat each day as it looks now. In about a week when I get used to working the midnight shift again I will be fishing a few days a week after I get out of work until early afternoon or so also and most likely will have an open seat every trip out then.

 

Much appreciated!!! I didnt venture out yesterday and from the sound of it,it was a good call. Hope the cooler weather will bring em back this way soon. Again,Thank You for the offer,I may take you up on it.

 

My buddy said he did real well on perch off the Vermilion condos Sunday while we were at the weather buoy catching large walleye. What a trip we had 3 FO by 9 am then then got a little smaller but still nice fish for this time of year. Should have a great fall with the numbers of perch and walleye we were marking while trolling. We caught two nice perch also while trolling.

 

Fished the Bell Sunday.Started just north of Bell 30 ft of water and got 1 perch to every 12 White Bass.Moved in to 23 ft by the fish nets and got a lot more Perch than White Bass. Ended up with 45 keepers mostly 8-9 inch.
