Perch
If you're looking for a perch bonanza, Ellison Bay and the surrounding waters of Green Bay are a great place to start. These tasty panfish are plentiful, but knowing when and where to find them is key. Focus on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near weed beds. The late summer and early fall months are typically the most productive, as the perch school up before winter. Try using small jigs tipped with wax worms or minnows, and don't be afraid to move around until you find a school. A local trick is to chum the water with crushed minnows to attract more perch to your location. Be sure to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can vary. The Ellison Bay public dock is a popular spot, but can get crowded, so consider exploring other access points along the shoreline.
