Anglers are fishing down 30 to 40’. Trollers are using pink, red, yellow, black, purple, orange and green spoons and worm harnesses off planer boards and jet divers.
Yellow perch fishing has been good to excellent in 38 to 45’ NW off Edgewater Park, 38 to 45’’ N off Wildwood State Park, 59 to 65’ NW off Ashtabula and 47 to 74’ N off Conneaut. Perch spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish.
