Perch
Perch fishing near Manitou Beach can be a productive and enjoyable experience, especially for families. Lake Michigan's shallow bays and weedy areas provide excellent habitat for perch. Late summer and early fall are typically the best times, as perch school up and feed aggressively. Focus on areas with sandy or silty bottoms near weed beds and drop-offs. Simple rigs like a slip bobber with a small hook baited with minnows or worms are highly effective. Adjust your depth until you find the fish. A practical tip: try fishing near the pier or docks in the harbor, as perch often congregate in these areas. The perch population here can be cyclical, so check local reports for recent catches. Also, be prepared to move around to find active schools of perch.
