Nice day to be out but real slow. 3 guys, 5hrs, 5 stops, 31 perch, 1 white bass, one 28" walleye @ 7 lbs. Didn't find the perch til 10:30 caught them all in 2 hours. I've been fishing perch in Erie for more than 10 years now and never caught a legal walleye and this year got 3. Fishing of anchor as usual, nothing different, just lucky I guess. The same guy caught them all, claims he has no secret methods. I think he's holding out on me. 1big1

Edward John was underway today with Capt Justin and 1st mate Justin and 9 anglers. After a very slow morning with many moves and a few drifts, they finally found the fish. At the end of the day approximately 175 yellow perch came over the rail. Seems like the spawn is over as most of the females are void of eggs. It was a great day to be out. Thanks to all who fish with us. We appreciate your friendship, new and old customers! Capt John

What started out slow this morning for 22 anglers wound up being a great trip. Several drops and a few drifts off the Point produced only about 25 fish. At 11:45 went back to 45' off Sunoco, searched around and found a hungry school of jumbo's. Immediately rods doubled over with singles and doubles of jumbo's to 14 1/8". It was non stop till we pulled the hook at 2. Stayed out and extra hour because we found them late. By the end of the trip, several limits were landed and an average catch of 12-15 was common. Approximately 400+ fish were pulled over the rail. All in all a great day to be out.
Thanks to all who came aboard.
Capt John

3 of us anchored at 7:30, fished til 11:00, caught 80 perch,1 sheep, one white bass and 2 hog walleye. Walleye were 1@ 28" 7 lbs the other 31" 9 lbs. so much for my long held belief that May is too early to catch a lot of fish. perch were mixed sizes, no huge jumbos, but the walleye were a first for me at anchor, a nice unexpected "by-catch" 1big1

After lousy weather kept us tied up at the dock for a few days , Capt Justin and 1st Mate Cuz headed out with the Edward John today with 15 angler on board. With light easterly winds and sunny skies, they headed out to 38' and found fish. Lots of white perch on the first drop. Heading out a little deeper found more and bigger yellow perch. By the end of the trip over 200 fish were boated. Thanks to all for coming aboard Big Red.
Thanks,
Capt John and crew

The Edward John, run by Capt Justin and first mate JP headed out on a scouting trip on Friday and found a nice large school of mixed white and yellow perch. By the end of the trip 10 guys almost limited out on yellow perch, with lots of hugh white perch.
Saturday's first official trip had 26 anglers on board with almost 300 fish caught. Sunday's private charter was slower with only about 100 perch caught for 20 anglers. Lots of bait fish around, especially alewifes.

Took a day off from work and fished various shore location around Preque Isle Friday. Caught some small bass using plastic Crawfish and small spinner baits. Water was a little cloudy. Air was stinky from all the dead fish. Still an incredibly beautiful day.
