Fishin report for 4-1.![]()
I got another limit of Perch today- Wednesday 4-1, off the cuts of Saginaw Bay. It was a brutal North East wind. ![]()
I fished 2 different Marinas where fish were just there the day n 2 before n I got zero. The cold water being pushed in from the NE wind just shut it down. I checked the Pine River n it was high, over flowing n muddy. ![]()
I ended up checking some ditches where I figured water would be warmer n sure enough at one of my spots the Perch were there. The size wasn’t great today but they were stacked in the ditches. I was catching several doubles n even a triple n got my limit in no time. ![]()

I Ended up with a large container of deans French onion dip filled with fillets. So although they weren’t the biggest today they will still taste great!![]()

So if u check one spot n the perch are not there Keep drivin around n checkin til you find em as they r there right now. It’s just a matter of where. ![]()

I put some miles on scouting around over the last week. I’ve found one day the perch were there, next day maybe not, then next day they come back. Or they mite not be there in the morning but show up later in the day n vice versa. ![]()
So don’t give up. ![]()

Tip I would recommend is to give it a try for yourself at each location n give it 30 minutes or so n see if they r biting yourself. Most guys r just drivin around n being lazy n come out of their car n talk to 1 or 2 people fishin askin us how’s it goin. Some guys don’t even get out of their warm car while we r fishin in the cold n talk to us from their window trying to get info from us??![]()
Hello- No one is gonna tell you it’s good. We just say it’s slow n they end up leavin. ![]()
