| Is anyone catching keeper perch on Lake Winnebago in the last 3 days or so? Also, are the walleyes still hammering trolling baits like they did in Otter Street Fishing Tourney? |

Location: Neenah, WI | Don't know about the Perch. We fished a tourney yesterday with 70+ boats from Brothertown. Winners had 14+. Big fish was 24" but don'y know the weight. Most seem to be coming from the mud on harnesses. LOTS of Sheephead yesterday. We weighed a kimit of smaller fish. Just couldn't find a big one. It seems to have dwindled a bit for larger ones but there are plenty being caught. There are big packs of boats scattered around the lake. They're there for a reason. Best speed seems to be about 1.3 or so. We didn't run cranks but maybe we should have. |

| Thanks for the walleye report! Also, if anyone else has been picking up a few perch, please post. I don't need locations, just if perch are snapping your baits on Lake Winnebago in general. I don't expect anyone to reveal his or her hot spots. |

There are still some big ones out there Dale. Rob and I had 20.99 lbs (5 fish) in the Romey's tournament. Big fish for Romey's was 6.02 lbs |

Location: Neenah Wi | We were out on sat.and ended up with 25 nice perch.We tried to stay in 16fow but the wind picked up and the waves were too big.Dead sticked over the side with a little piece of crawler.Find the rock and mud transition and you should find the perch.Keep the bait close to bottom or you won't get them to take the bait.Most fish were in the 10"range Good luck. |
