Perch
If you're looking for some of the finest perch fishing in the Straits of Mackinac, look no further than Mackinac Island. The waters surrounding the island offer unique perch habitat, especially where rocky shoals transition to deeper water. Focus your efforts where you find structure or weed beds holding baitfish. The best time to target perch here is late summer and early fall as they fatten up before winter. During this time, you'll find them in relatively shallow water, but as the water cools, adjust your depth accordingly. A practical tip: many anglers launch small boats from the public launch on the island's south side, but be aware of ferry traffic. Also, pay attention to water clarity; perch prefer clearer water, so move around until you find it. Local perch are known for their size, often exceeding 12 inches, so be prepared for a good fight!
