Little Bay de Noc Fishing Reports

Made my first perch trip for the season, today. Been hearing plenty of good reports from Indian Lake and Garden Bay over the last couple weeks, but nobody as really mentioned fishing the bay lately. If they were biting nearby, it stands to reason they should be biting here, too.

Launched at Kipling at 5 O'clock, (only rig in the lot.) Graphed the first break east of Butler's Island, then around Hunter's, Saunder's, and Squaw Points, and off the Gladstone campground. NADA!

I then decided to look at the upper bay. Checked around the first break off of the Days River and FINALLY started to mark some fish in 22 to 24 FOW. Stayed there for the next couple hours and ended up landing 20 perch, keeping half of them. Biggest ones were 11 inches. All the females were spawned out, (water temp was 45 degrees.) Caught them all on wigglers. I tried minnows, but never had a bump on them.
