Where on the Lake do you boat? We dock off the Vermilion and went perching
in 38 feet of water directly off the east end of the breakwall. Mrs.H and I
caught 35 perch, with only a couple of jumbos. When I dropped them off at
the fish cleaning place a guy came in with a monster walleye.

We used to dock in Huron when we had our 32 footer.




The fish cleaning place? Tell us more!

Is the fish cleaning guy named Alvin by chance?

Heck, there must be 5 or 6 fish cleaning places within 5 miles of our
marina. Going rate is $1.25/pound (for yellow perch) which includes
descaling, filleting, bagging and refrigerating for later pickup. Yellow
perch average at or just under 1/2 pounds (jumbos are more), so having a
mess of them cleaned is a bargain.

Most marinas on the bay have fish cleaning stations with running water,
fresh water. You come in gut or filet your fish, bag'em in zip locs and
then put them in the cooler. $1.25 per pound?

Not around here!

De-scaling? yikes...after I have taken the fillet off one side, I skin
em'. A fishing buddy showed me this, and I'll never de-scale ANYTHING
again.

I run out of Port Stanley. 16 miles gets you out to the Weather Buoy,
and man...did the finder go dark with the bait fish! There must've
been a school running through, chasing them.
There is another place I have gone, and EVERY time I have caught
fish....but thats a secret.....and its close to Port.
A few weeks ago, we caught a 17.2 pound Chinook Salmon at around 7
pm...15 miles out, 14 miles to the east.

Yellow perch taste best with the skin on.

Not to me.

Secret fishing places.. Hurmph, bad fisherman?? I don't mind telling
folks my fishing spots, plenty of fish there for everyone. My problem
is getting folks to try it as it is so close to the launch. Most guys
think it ain't fishin' if you have not used 30 gallons of gas For 20
years I have been outfishing the guys who go "out". BTW, my spot is
just 200 yards south of the RR bridge at Chimney point in Old
Saybrook. Anchor on the west side of the river, just off the little
island and cast toward the channel

I've been by there many times. Blues? Stripers?
