Lake Erie - Walleye or perch?

[Belair]

Weather permitting, I'm going to head out of The Raisin River on saturday. Probably head out in front of Brest bay or fermi. Are people still hitting walleye or should I start targeting the perch? I have a 17 footer, so I don't head out too far (west/middle sister). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have been wondering that too... I am headed down sat thru tue, camping at sterling, so we will be hitting them hard. I don't think that too many people have been out the last couple of days cause of the weather... Hope these NW winds today will push the weeds out outta there.

i fished out of sterling last friday, saturday, and sunday. took my limit of walleyes all three days trolling bottom bouncers and crawlers straight out of the park. i was fishing in 27 feet of water. a lot of silver bass and big sheephead to keep you busy. i kept one line right on the bottom and the other was about four feet off the bottom. i saw some people cleaning perch, but have no idea where they caught them. hope this helps.

be careful when you head out to deeper water

ohio comes quickly

would think 27 is into ohio water-and need their license

the weeds may be a pain in the butt :dizzy: but last tuesday I limited out in the weeds bottom bouncing in an hour and a half. never caught a fish in the clean water. also caught probably 10 perch and missed more in the same area off the point ;)

Thanks for the information. Just found out yesterday that my wife could give birth any day. Thus, I think my fishing plans are voided. Might as well winterize my boat.

According to my Hot Spots CD, if your in 24 fow your in Ohio waters, and the cd was made when the water levels were higher than they are now.

You mean to tell me that when I was in 31 feet of water a few weeks ago, I wasn't in Michigan????? Oops. Good thing i didn't catch any of them ohio fish, nor get caught by the odnr.......... :lol:
