Perch
If you're after perch in Harbor Springs, Little Traverse Bay is your primary target. This area is known for its healthy perch population, offering both quality and quantity. The best time to target them is during the fall, as the water cools and they school up in larger numbers. Focus your efforts around weed beds, drop-offs, and areas with sandy or gravel bottoms. Using live minnows or perch rigs baited with worms is a reliable tactic. Look for areas where the bottom transitions from sand to weeds, as these areas often hold concentrations of perch. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity. If the water is murky, use baits that create more vibration to help the perch find them. Consider fishing near the breakwall, as it provides structure and can hold perch throughout the season. The city marina offers easy access to the bay.
