Perch
Targeting perch near Benton Harbor means understanding the dynamic nature of Lake Michigan and the St. Joseph River. This area offers a unique blend of freshwater and brackish environments that perch thrive in. Prime time is typically late summer through fall as water temperatures cool and perch move closer to shore to feed heavily before winter. Focus your efforts around piers, breakwalls, and submerged structures where perch congregate. A practical tip is to use a perch rig with live minnows or wigglers, adjusting your depth until you find the active zone; perch can be surprisingly depth-sensitive here. Also, pay close attention to water clarity; if the lake is stirred up, the St. Joseph River can offer a clearer alternative. The perch in this region are known for their good size, so be prepared for some quality table fare!
