Conn Perch, WoW!
WoW, Great Day!! Best perchin' day of the year.
We ran out of Conn. NNE to 30 boat pack.
Trolled to the far East side looking for perch.
Found the thickest school of perch ever, 1/4 mile from Pa line.
5 to 15' thick off bottom. Never ever marked so many fish. Our fish finder screen showed a constant line of stacked up perch for 3 straight hours. We didn't keep anything under 9"s and Caught about 20 12" & over.
+-200 perch and only one white one!
Minnows were $3.00 a dozen, so use a Sabiki rig and cut 'em in thirds.
We caught perch on 1" green twister tails, Salties, and left-over frozen cut up emeralds. I caught 4 doubles using ABC Big Red Chewing Gum on a #8 gold hook! Stacker rigged (lol, honestly)
Buy fat heads at Mosquito, $1.25 a Doz and cut them up, it didn't matter! If you catch a junk fish, cut it up for bait. $3.00 a Doz just ain't right!
Anything worked today! Hit the bottom then pick it up slow. Wham! Doubles. It never took over 1 min. for a hit. If it did,,, you were robbed.
Sure hope to get out a cup'la more times this year,,, We Had A Ball.
Ain't It Right Gizzmo?
