Seasonal Activity Chart
Perch
Escanaba offers excellent perch fishing in the Bays de Noc, drawing anglers from across the Midwest. The key to success lies in understanding the perch's seasonal movements and preferred habitat. Focus on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms, especially near weed beds or drop-offs. Spring and fall are the most productive times, as perch school up in large numbers to spawn and feed heavily. Use small jigs tipped with minnows or worms, and be prepared to move around until you find a school. Pay attention to water depth, as perch often suspend at different levels. Try using a slip bobber to present your bait at the desired depth. A popular spot is near the mouth of the Escanaba River, where perch often congregate. Remember to bring a fish finder to locate schools of perch and adjust your presentation accordingly.
