Comment by John Sheehan on September 27, 2013 at 11:11am: 9/26/13 Yellow Perch were active in the shallows by a feeder Pipe hitting small floated Jigs .It should just keep getting better for them at the local lake till early December .

Comment by John Sheehan on September 6, 2013 at 11:10am: Chuck ,when does ice fishing usually start for you ? Here it seldom starts ,for me at least, before Christmas and usually I guess around New Years . My fishing time preferences ,'bout the same as you for morn and about 3pm -dark. The crappies start hitting a little before dark which I really like sometimes that's when I get more White Perch too. .Yellow Perch are great though because they'll hit all day .Just gotta fish the effective depth. In my small lake I usually catch them midday about 12' but other lakes it can be 20' or more . I usually fish the evening bite .In the morn I'm drinking coffee and visiting this site !

Comment by Chuck k on September 6, 2013 at 10:18am: john, One lake I fish for perch has a channel running into it, but a couple other ones have no running water entering them. I usually work the drop offs in around 20 feet of water as I work around the lake. I like the underwater bays and points. I have my best luck for winter perch right at sun up till about 9am and sundown till dark. When is your favorite ice fishing times?

Comment by John Sheehan on September 6, 2013 at 7:04am: Chuck, can I venture to guess some of your spots have water entering the lake nearby ?

Comment by Chuck k on September 5, 2013 at 11:36am: I have been catching a lot of bluegills this summer, but now I am going to be going for yellow perch here in southern Michigan. I have marked some good looking spots on the lakes while bluegill fishing and I am anxious to give them a try for perch.
