I made it out perch fishing this past weekend for the first time this season. On Friday I got 6 decent ones at the Metro Beach Basin. The biggest one measured just over 10" I fished from about 4pm til dark. The bite was slow and I moved alot. Sunday was a little better, ended up with 20 keepers, but I really had to work for them. I made it out to the end of Cotton rd at around 6am and had two lines in by 6:20. As soon as the sun started coming up they were biting. I caught 3 nice ones right away and then nothing. The day pretty much consisted of catching a few fish and then moving. I fished there til 9:30 and got 15 nice perch. I left cotton rd and went to meet my Dad in Fairhaven at 10:30. We fished out in the bay their for about 2 hours and were only able to get 5 between the two of us. It was a parking lot out there, cars & trucks parked all of the ice. The snowmobilers were out in full affect too, must have been 100 guys out there making all kinds of noise. After a lunch break I went back out to Cotton rd for the evening bite. I fished from 4pm til 6:30 and didn't catch another perch. I was moving around every where and just couldn't find them. I did manage to pull up 3 largemouths that I thought were nice perch at first. One of those bass really gave me a run with that little ice fishing rod and 4lb test, would have been a keeper if it was in season.
