Well it turns out, its a good thing there was just a piece on perch fishing, here is the weekend from Captain Mike from Matthews Bait & Tackle:
The perch run has started. We ahve seen allot of fish caught the last 2 weeks
and it should only get better from here. Places like E bouy, Toledo Harbor
Light and the McDonalds bouy have been yielding the highest catch rates. There
have also been some 10 to 12″ fish taken in 12 to 14′ of water near Luna Pier.
Minnows and Perch rigs seem to be taking the most fish!!
Good Luck & Tight Lines,
Capt. Mike
