Halloween Perch Report

[walleyemaster]

Headed out of Sterling State Park (Monroe, MI) Sunday around 10:30 am. Overcast sky's and moderate west wind with steady white cap chop. Found a pack of boats in Breast Bay in 15 FOW, fished for 30 minutes - nothing. Started moving around towards 16-17 FOW straight out from Stony Point. Around 1 PM the sun came out, winds died way down and the bite took off.

Got 80 from 1-4 PM (would've got our 2 man limit if I didn't have to leave for my kid's trick-or-treating). About 10 or so were 7.5"-8" about 50 were were 9" -10"; and 10+ were jumbo 10+" eaters. Even got a two 11" double hitter - haven't had two that size at once in God know's how many years).

Overall an awesome day.

One thing I noticed while cleaning them was the female egg sacks didn't look real mature yet, I don't think they are ready to spawn yet. I'm gonna keep the boat out until the weather gets close to 32 degrees.

The egg sacs will be under developed at this time of year.

They don't spawn till april.

Thanks for the report. I'm going to try to get over to that area this weekend if the winds will cooperate.
