Seasonal Activity Chart
Perch
Port Washington, Wisconsin offers some classic perch fishing opportunities along Lake Michigan's shoreline. The key here is to key in on the seasonal movements of the forage base. As water temperatures change, perch will follow schools of minnows and other baitfish. Focus your efforts around piers, breakwaters, and submerged structures, especially near the harbor entrance. Spring and fall are prime times, as perch move inshore to spawn and feed aggressively before winter. A practical tip: utilize a Carolina rig with a small minnow or worm. Vary your depth until you locate active fish, as they can be suspended at different levels depending on the current and temperature. Be aware that perch schools can be mobile, so if you're not getting bites, move around until you find them. The perch in this area are known for their good size, so it's worth spending the time to dial in your presentation.
