Looking for a little advice or guidance. I am planning a trip down to Chautauqua this Sunday. I haven't fished this lake in years but remember as a kid catching loads of little perch. I want to take the old lady and kids for the day. I would love to get the kids on some perch so they get hooked like I got my old lady. I would also like the chance at jigging up an eye. I've only ever fished Mayville and bertis hard water here. I plan to launch out of long point and and try to make it to 30 ft or so. My question is will I have to do much searching to find active perch in this depth? Or am I better off staying shallower to find the big schools? And will those walleye be in shallow with the perch? Or am I better off launching somewhere els? Any advise would be appreciated, I just want the ol lady and kids to have a good time and possibly land an eye. I have a spud bar and all the proper safety equipment and will use my best judgment. Assuming this wind doesn't screw everything up. I can sniff out the fish but I need a starting point. Thnx in advance. Stay safe and good fishing.

I have not been to long point in a while but historically there is an endless supply of 5-6 inch perch there.. use a small jig  and bait (i.e. spikes on a hali).   30ft will work.

Walleye are hit or miss especially during daylight hours.  Dont be afraid to move away from the crowd if possible.

Walleyefever:

I'm in the same town and same boat,,,I mean shanty as you...minus the old lady. She left me because of hockey and fishing haha. But, gonna be my little girls 1st time out from Mon-Thursday. I've fished that lake at a journeyman level since the mid 90's and at the end of the day your best spot IMO for a nice mixed bag of fish to include a very probable Muskie is Long Point... Where we will be. Have I had that isolated random magical day elsewhere,,, sure but I'm not rolling the dice with my 7 year old. And the lake has been on this year. Both sides of LP with walleye's coming up all day long. Also, check up with Hogans Hut FB page or in person. You should be able to extract some additional intel from them. GL and bring lots of snacks

Thank you jay and Joey, for your response, it's looking to be a nice day out there. Your not kidding about the snacks, good luck and I hope you get your little one hooked. One more thing does anyone know if that bait store in west file right off the 90 is still open. Think again. Stay safe an tight lines!

Can’t belive it’s come the point where they have to shut down our reports page. It’s really unfortunate that people are so rude to each other anymore. Thank you to all who post useful information.

It is a shame the Reports Page got shut down.  I don't report on the Chat pages unless I fish down there but I do read and like your reports.  There was too much conversation not related to ice conditions and fishing reports.  The conversation belongs on this page.  Maybe the offenders will abide by the rules.  Hope it gets un-locked soon.

Yikes! Hope nobody was injured. That chili sounds great though.

Few legends of Erie got sprayed with some kidney bean and green chili’s in the eyes, but they fished on.
Fished the ole girl today. Slow bite of Mission. 2 eyes and about 20 perch.

The ice is 12" around  Long Point. However, somebody has been cutting holes in the ice with a chainsaw. I had to rescue my dog today about 6:30 pm at the end of long point. It was dark, so  I couldn't tell how big the hole was, but it was way bigger than an 8" round hole. That could have been anybody falling into that hole. If anyone hears that chainsaw call the authorities.

If it was right at the point there is a pressure crack that people have been going through.

I’m sure if you click on the 20+pages on this thread you’d get a pretty good handle on where to start.
I herd long point had 10,000 people this weekend, along with guys cutting holes with chainsaws.
