Photos was at Armstrongs on White Lake wednesday as they were catching perch off the dock, also two fisherman had a limit of huge gills they caught off the yacht club on waxworms.
Was at Pappys at Welston and lots of fisherman at Tippy Dam.
Perch fishing is starting to improve but gale winds this week really stirred up West Grand Traverse Bay so have not got any reports the few days.
Some nice perch are being caught on South Lake Leelanau on the south-end with minnows and wigglers working best.
Portage Lake a few guys are trying for perch but been slow.
Perch fishing has been slow at Ludington and Pentwater but things should get better with north winds.
Higgins Lake: Was producing decent catches of lake trout from the bottom in 80 to 130 feet with downriggers and cowbells, spoons and body baits. Brown trout and rainbow trout were caught in about 30 feet near the west side launch with the same. Smallmouth action was good along the breaks.
Traverse City: Salmon action slowed in the East Bay, but anglers did manage to get the occasional Chinook or coho. Cisco fishing was on fire at Yuba and Deepwater Point for those trolling or jigging in 100 to 140 feet. No word on perch. In the West Bay, a few salmon were caught in the hole near the river. A few perch were caught in 25 to 40 feet near the Hilltop Road launch. No word on perch in Bowers Harbor yet.
Boardman River: Anglers are catching coho at Union Street Dam. A few Chinook have been caught, but there are not many in the river yet.
Betsie River: Chinook salmon are being caught on spawn and flies.
Drummond Island: When they could get out, anglers caught yellow perch throughout Maxton Bay and Scott Bay. Try still fishing with worms and shiners at the south end of James Island in 8 to 10 feet. Fish were caught at Ashman Island in 8 feet and just off the weed beds at Harbor Island. Try a jig with a white twister tail. Smallmouth bass fishing was good on the north side of Burnt Island near the red buoy with a dark orange or green speckled tube jig.
Cedarville and Hessel: Good pike action continues at the Middle Entrance to the Les Cheneaux Islands when using chubs in 18 to 20 feet. Fish were also caught when trolling between Little La Salle Island and Peck Bay in 8 feet. Yellow perch were found in Musky Bay when drifting worms and shiners in 8 to 10 feet and when jigging a small white or chartreuse twister tail off the weed beds in 4 to 6 feet near Connors Point. For Hessel, a good number of splake were caught off the finger docks in the marina when jigging both natural and artificial spawn bags. Good catches of rock bass and sunfish were taken between Hessel Point and Highway M-134.
Yummy!
I nice limit of 8-10” eaters from the dock this morning.
Is this a public fishing dock?
Hope you don’t give up your spot, it will be fished out by end of day tomorrow!
