Well we headed out in search of big Lake Erie Perch and I think we set a new all time record for weight and length. Our Limit was 150 and our catch weighed 88lbs, with some 14.75 inch Perch in our mix. We fished near the Pellee Shipping Channel north of Pellee Island in 39 feet of water. All of our Perch were caught using Lake Erie Shiners on the bottom using tibble rigs with 2 oz weights. It looks like the weather is going to cooperate for the next few weeks so we decided to leave the boat in until Thanksgiving.
