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

Perch fishing has been very productive despite the hot weather
Fishing has been very good early in the day around Turtle Island with many limit catchs of 8 and 9 inch perch
Limit catchs of larger perch (up to 12″) are being caught around Sputnik using emerald shiners in 20 to 23 feet of water. Drop shot rigs seem to work the best. #4 gold hooks and a 3/4 ounce sinker
Best bet is to get out there early before the heat sets in.
The Toledo water intake has also been producing limit catchs of 7 to 12 inch perch
If your willing to do some traveling and spend some time looking – the “Big Boy’s have been coming from, up on the Canada boarder near Middle Sister Island in 30 plus feet of water

Most of the bait shops have a fair supply on emerald shiners, but call ahead, some of the shops are mixing in sand shiners and chubs with the emeralds.
Ohio upped it’s limit to 30 perch per angler this season – Michigan still remains at 50 per angler

Fishing the week of July 18 thru 24. Fished the Sister Islands and the intake with just a hand full of walleyes. Walleyes are on there way out! Going perch fishing starting this week. The report I’ve been getting is perch are scattered. Hopefully with more Charters going into perch I will have better information.

Capt. Bruce Bronner from Kathys Boyz 3 Charters reports from Bolles Harbor:

Walleye action fair to good on the Michigan Ohio bordeline, Sputnick and McDonalds. No real large schools of fish yet. Fish are scattered in smaller schools chasing bait as wind and water temp changes. Jet divers and Mini Disks with spoons are the ticket. Trolling speeds around 2.2-2.5 mph. Lots of sorting going on with about a half a dozen throwbacks per trip and a majority of the keepers are smaller, younger class fish.

Capt. Bruce Bronner from Kathys Boyz 3 Charters reports from Bolles Harbor:

Fishing has pick up on Lake Erie. Limit to near limit catches of walleyes in Ohio waters. Trolling in 23-25 fow with mini disk, 20 jet drivers. with spoons 65 to 75 ft back off boards. Most fish are in 2 to 3 lbs range, with a water temp of 65 degrees. Capt’n Bruce Kathys Boyz 3 Charters.
