I went out to Ford Lk on Saturday and this is what I found out. The perch were moving into the shallows; however, they were only about 7", not even woth the time. I managed to catch a nice 16" smallmouth bass...it seemed like it was full of eggs. I even caught a sucker...haven't done that in 6 years. I didn't catch any crappie though . I plan to go out again this week and I'll post what I find. I was even looking for walleye, but I guess I need to fish at night to see what happens. Going to Belle Isle and Lake Erie this weekend...hopefully I can get my 3 favorite fish...Walleye, Crappie, and Perch. I'll let you know! :D
