Very Unpredictable Perch!

The perch are one of the most unpredictable fish that swims in our great lake. Huge schools of the large female have been hanging around the harbors(on the lake side) feeding on crayfish. They are on the move competing with the sheephead to gain access to the ever decreasing amount of crayfish. On a wreck off of Evanston in 32 feet of water there were amount of large of crayfish(more than ever before recently) and in 80 feet of water on the wreck "Staits of Mackinaw" there were perch coils(that is how their eggs look) all over. On a reef that comes up to 76 feet of water out of 142 feet also has perch spawning all over. They also spawn in the harbors...go figure.
