Captain John Giszczak of Stray Cat Charters reports from Luna Pier:

Perch fishing has been from Turtle Island all the way up to Bolles Harbor. Fish between the Consumers plant and Turtle Island in 10 feet of water – Out in front of Toledo Beach Marina in around 13 feet of water. You will find some Jumbo’s around E-Buoy and on the sides of some of the humps in the dumping grounds – usually when you find them they are big – don’t venture to far out the fish are moving closer to shore. Start short and work your way out
Emerald shiners still seem to be the preferred bait
We have been catching lots of smallmouth bass over the dump and in front of the Homrich mansion in 13 to 15 feet of water and 15 to 17 feet on the humps.
Perch fishing for smallmouth bass video
Don’t get greedy if you end up in Ohio water the ODNR has been patrolling everyday and passing out tickets for “over fish” like candy on Halloween. They will board you, count your fish, and just a few over – can cost everybody on the boat $250.00 plus $20.00 a fish over
The last couple of days we have had a north east blow and the lake has gotten dirty so you will have to get to deeper water to be successful.
If you don’t get-em move!!!

Captain John Giszczak of Stray Cat Charters reports from Luna Pier:

Perch fishing has been off the hook the last couple of weeks. There has not been a place on the lake we have not caught perch.
Along the Raisin River buoys, Stoney Point in 20 feet of water, Sputnik and the Platform have produced coolers full. Don’t be afraid to stop short in shallow water in front of where you launch. I caught a cooler full at W buoy in front of Toledo Beach in 13 feet of water. Start shallow and work your way out. If your not getting them right away move, sometimes only 500 yards will do the trick. Emerald shiners seem to be the preferred live bait.
The ODNR has been checking every boat they come across. Make sure you have a valid Ohio license if you venture over the boarder and don’t be tempted to take more than you limit. The fines can be up to $250.00 and $20.00 per perch over your limit of 30.

Captain John Giszczak of Stray Cat Charters reports from Luna Pier:

The lake has been very muddy with all the run-off from the recent storms. The water is warming. Look for a water stain line with a color change. There has been a massive debris area from Luna Pier all the way to the Platform and [...]

Captain John Giszczak of Stray Cat Charters reports from Luna Pier:

Perch fishing was very good for some yesterday. We fished between Little Cedar Point and the water intake. Fishing was slow but the fish seemed to be the largest near the water intake in about 16 feet of water.
The best fishing we saw yesterday was in front of Bolles Harbor in 18 feet of water and off the East corner of the dump in the flats. A couple of boats smashed – em while others sat and waited for a bite. We moved 8 times, caught fish every stop but never hit the mother load. The fish seem to be in tight schools so if you don’t land on them keep moving. Some of the schools seem to peter out after an hour or so – don’t waste your time after the bite slows – Move!
