Your racking up on that lead,,,,I could use that for casting my bullets.

I melt lead for bullets,divers weights,and lead soldiers. right now I am keeping it for ballast in a motorsailor project I have been working on. if I ever get seriously in need of lead I could do a dive or two on the perch fishing grounds. I could probably haul several hundred pounds out in a day pretty easily.

best of luck to you on your reloading.

You sure find a lot of lead. quick question how do they lose so much lead in the perch field. Plus are they biting yet sure would like to get a nice mess of fresh perch......Matt

mlayers, perch like rocky areas, the spreaders get caught in between the rocks, not to mention on the spreaders everyone else has lost.. the local tv station said they are limiting out in 30 minutes.

Do you need a boat to get where the perch are or can you fish from shore. Plus what pat of Lake Erie is it. Thanks mlayers

the perch right now are in 40' of water so yeah a boat is necessary to catch perch. some folks fish off of lorain ohio's pier it juts out into lake erie close to a mile and do catch perch occasionaly, but not as much as off a boat.
