I agree. You may have seen my report from Lake Eerie a month or two ago. The guide on our walleye trip said they mostly catch 12" and larger. Must be nice. It's a give and take. North and south both have their ups and downs when it comes to fishing. There are some nice yellow perch here though.....just gotta find em.That is my problem.
There doesn't seem to be as many 10 inch plus fish as you find up north.
While staying the night at Eerie we ventured into a pub that served the perch. It was the first time I'd tried it as table fare and I loved it. I wanted to try walleye as well but had to choose one or the other.....I don't fiddle with small yellow perch but the 10 inchers I take home and eat.
both are fantastic eating. We used to catch perch in lake erie like I catch crappie in falls lake by the bucket loads. Walley are a great fight and in the fall we would fish for salmon till dark and than walleye would hit nice thing ya didnt have to change anything a pink rooster tail was the keyWhile staying the night at Eerie we ventured into a pub that served the perch.
