October 1, 2006

The Salmon season is almost over. September Salmon fishing out of Glen Arbor wasn’t near as good as years past, due to high winds and unstable weather patterns.

Perch fishing is really getting going. Been getting 40 to 50 per trip, and the fish are getter larger as the weather cools.

I went out myself today and caught 40 perch, most in the 9 to 11 inch range. I had 2 nice Northern Pike on today. One grabbed a 9 inch perch and swam around with it, in its mouth for a couple minutes before he spit it out. Talk about a nice fish. I figure he was between 8 and 10 lbs, the other one grabbed another perch I was pulling in and cut the hook off.

The fall perch fishing is just getting started and should be good until Ice up.
