Perching this coming weekend 7-11-09

Actually we went out 7-11. We were on the water at 5:30 right after the rainstorm. Launched at Hammond and drove to Cal park (in the boat) Limited out by 10:30. Two guys 30 fish. I don't think other boats did as well and there were not that many boats out there. I find it VERY interesting you found the fish deep in 37 feet. We were in 15.5 feet. Where do you go specifically for the 37'?

We fished inside by the river on the weed beds and then headed southeast past the break wall towards Jerose Park. The 37' was north of the wall as it turns and heads towards the Cline street launch ( Jerose Park or East Chicago Marina to be specific). I basically was watching some Charters circling around and had to see for myself. It had also stormed on the 4th so my guess was the pushed out that day and I stumbled on them. My thinking always is when doubt go deeper. Thanks for the report probably going to head out there this weekend.

So Dan,

I realize Your post is over a month ago, but for the record, you were in 37 feet of water as you headed south east from Cal Park - 95th street weedbed? If not please clarify. Thanks

Just as I had stated, out past the breakwall heading towards cline street. The depth drops off slowly but for the most part is in the 30 ft range but when I marked the fish the graph was reading 37 ft. Maybe there is a hole right there not known and i found it.....not sure.

Thanks Dan. I wasn't clear on your specific directions. I always thought that 95th street breakwall heades straigh south towards Hammond. I can't phathom it correlating anywhere near Cline ave. But maybe that is just me. I'm always wanting to learn what little I can to help make the experience of fishing the darn lake more enjoyable thanks for taking the time to answer I just wanted to have that information for the record.
