RJ Graham (Tionesta); filed 12/13: “I had a great day on Presque Isle Bay today. I kept 25
perch over 12 inches, and released 30 smaller ones. Then I went bass fishing, catching 15
bass on a Rapala Shad Rap. Perch came on a ¼-oz Kastmaster in 12
to 16 feet of water.” (See photos)

Bob Grinarml (Cambridge Springs); filed 12/11: “Perch are biting at Marina Lake at
Presque Isle Bay. Most perch are small. The Bay is loaded with emerald shiners!”

Dave Lefebre (Erie); filed 12/11: “Yesterday I went perch
fishing on Bay for first time this year. Caught a lot but
kept only 12 perch that were 14 inches or bigger. Back
out today. Bite was insane. I kept 30 fat perch that yield
thick fillets – better fillets than a 15 inch Pymatuning
walleye! All fish came on a 2” Yamamoto grub in char-
treuse.”
