scgibby11 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hi all. I'm not asking anyone to give up their spots, but a little information about perch fishing in So. Lake Michigan would be great.I have the boat at the southern end of the lake most years until the end of May. I then move it north. I generally salmon and trout fish but spend some time on the bigger inland lakes further north.I would like to go for some perch this Spring. Any advice would be helpful. Is there much of a perch bite in the spring? I tend to go out of St. Joe's or South Haven.Thanks,Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1musser Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 In front of dunes just south of south haven always seems to be good. Look for the packs. Never fished real early in season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nailer Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 The early season bite used to be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIRTY DOG Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 There really is no early spring perch fishing out st. joe or south haven , they really dont heat up that far south till mid june. But there is a GREAT fishery out of Grand haven in april and very early may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is a GREAT fishery out of Grand haven in april and very early may.Yeah when it does heat up its usually good fishing! Another spot to try is out in front of deer lick crick. Also don't hesitate to run north up near Glen, we have done well there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpndbl3 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Excellent perch fishing will be starting up shortly out of indiana waters, if you're venturing this far into "south" lake michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby Dick Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Had an old teacher friend who tracked his perch catch. Never caught many until June 20th. He used to catch about 2000/year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
