Sorry MC, Did not no where you were fishing. Thought you were in Indiana waters.

Anyone heading out tomorrow? If I don't have to work, I am making the first excursion on the big lake this year in the morning. Need to find some yellow gold...

Not heard a word or seen anything about perching.
Good Luck.

Not surprising, the lake flipped and there is cold water in close. 62 surface temp on the beach this morning at Michigan City.

Flips tend to scatter the perch. I'd go trolling for skamania or kings myself, if I was fishing on the big lake

Be careful out there. Might be a little foggy. What time are you heading out?

Also, remember that the races are this weekend. The ramp at the park will be closed. Also, it looks like the course come close to the perching grounds.

Cant make it, have 2 work.

Been hearing good reports the last few days of jumbo limits east of MC. Softshell craw tails has been working best.

When are they suppose to close the ramp for the races? Probably not til Wednesday or Thursday right? I was gonna kayak there in the morning

I camped at the Dunes last weekend.  I know the water was much warmer Thursday and Friday then it was saturday and sunday.  We launched my kayak off of the beach one day and paddled straight out.  I have never perch fished the big lake before, so didn't really know where to start.  We didn't have any live bait, but did manage a couple of small ones on plastics.  I would guess we were in 15-20' of water.

I think the closure is for Fri;Sat;Sun.
