Perch
If you're looking to hook into some tasty perch, Sylvan Beach, Michigan, is a fantastic destination, thanks to its proximity to Lake Michigan's productive perch grounds. The key here is understanding the perch's seasonal movements and preferred habitat. Spring and fall are prime times, as perch move into shallower waters to spawn and feed, respectively. Look for them near weed beds, piers, and drop-offs in 10-20 feet of water. Minnows are the go-to bait, but wigglers and small ice fishing jigs can also be effective. A crucial local tip: pay attention to water clarity; perch often prefer slightly stained water. The Sylvan Beach pier is a popular spot, but boat access allows you to explore a wider range of potential hotspots. Be prepared to move around until you locate a school, as perch tend to congregate in large numbers. Remember to check the current Michigan fishing regulations for size and bag limits.
