Perch
For some tasty Perch action, Muskegon, Michigan, is a solid bet, especially in Muskegon Lake. These panfish are schooling fish, so finding one often means finding many. The best times are typically late summer through fall, when the water cools and perch gather in larger numbers. Focus your efforts around structure like docks, piers, and weed beds. A simple perch rig with a small minnow or perch eye on a jig is hard to beat. Some anglers also find success with small ice fishing lures tipped with bait. The Muskegon Lake Channel is a popular spot, but be prepared for boat traffic. A local tip: try fishing near the bottom, but occasionally lift your bait to attract attention. The perch in Muskegon Lake tend to be of good size, making for a worthwhile fishing experience. Be mindful of daily limits and size restrictions to ensure the sustainability of the fishery.
