Seasonal Activity Chart
Perch
Perch fishing is a Bay City staple, with Saginaw Bay being renowned for its Perch fishery. The fall months are particularly productive as Perch school up in large numbers before winter. Look for them in areas with moderate depth and a sandy or weedy bottom. Using perch rigs baited with minnows or wigglers is the classic approach. Drifting is a popular technique to cover ground and locate schools. The Quanicassee area, accessible by boat from Bay City, is a well-known Perch hotspot. Be prepared to move around until you find a concentrated school of fish. Pay attention to the wind, as it can quickly affect drift speed and make boat control challenging. Also, check the local bait shops for the freshest minnows, as this can make a significant difference in your success.
