Perch
If you're after perch in the Port Austin area, you're in for a treat. Lake Huron provides a vast playground for these panfish, and understanding their seasonal movements is crucial for success. Focus on areas with weedy or rocky bottoms, especially near the harbor and breakwalls. Early spring, as the ice recedes, can be excellent for targeting perch in shallower waters. As the water warms, they tend to move deeper, so be prepared to adjust your presentation accordingly. Small minnows and perch rigs are standard fare, but don't overlook artificial lures like small jigs tipped with wax worms. A local trick is to chum the water with crushed minnows or maggots to attract schools of perch. Be mindful of the wind and wave action, as it can quickly stir up the water and make it difficult to locate fish. Also, be aware of local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can change from year to year.
