Perch
If you're after yellow perch in Michigan, Bay Port on Saginaw Bay is a renowned destination. The bay's shallow, weedy flats provide ideal habitat. The best perch fishing typically occurs during the late summer and early fall as water temperatures cool and perch school up in larger numbers. Ice fishing is also incredibly popular here. Focus on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near weed beds. A practical tip: use a GPS to mark productive spots and drift with the wind, using a perch rig baited with minnows or wigglers. Pay attention to water clarity; murky water might require brighter colored lures or bait. Saginaw Bay perch are known for their excellent table fare, so plan accordingly!
