JUMBO PERCH, JUMBO PERCH, JUMBO PERK......

Well let's see, another day boating out of north east. I talked to bass fisherman on Sunday he showed me a few pics of some eyes that he caught on tubes. They were pretty nice. So figured we would troll near shore in the a.m. the thunder storm we got Sunday night put the kibaush to that idea. All the mile streams were blown out and made the near shore water really merky.
Next idea, we decided to Chase some lakers on the mountian. Well I will tell you this much, all of our spoons got a rinse cycle. We only boated one ten pounder. We bagged that idea after four hours.
All day on the horn we heard liberty park for the jumbo, I finally convinced my fishn buddy to go for a ride and it payed off. There was a pack of 100 boats! We drifted into the pack from the east. Boy was it fun! All the jumbo a man could want.
We drifted passed some jagoff and his old lady, maybe 80-100 feet away. He took his shirt off and started flexn. He threatened us and said he would throw a perch at us. HE WAS REALLY MAD, I WAS SO SCARED. So then I put the terova on spot lock to really jacked off. Then we banged a few, he kept flexn. AGAIN I WAS REALLY SCARED!
He left and had to buzz us with some wake. He came back a short time later with his b.f.f. then he ran passed us at 30 mph about 40 feet from the starboard side. We pretended not to see him. I think that up upset him too.
The best part of the day was when we packed it up. My fishn partner pulled out very slowly like a real sportsman and they just staired at us. They were waiting for us to wake them. No chance, we pretened not to see them.
Again they were REALLY MAD!
Happy memorial day and thanks to all the vets!

Good to hear you found some action. And it depends how close you really got. Cause I dont like it when people drift or anchor real close either.. i mean you have all of lake erie for cryin out loud. Anyways good work!

I wish the commission was after him. It was later in the afternoon. But ya the pack was just how you explained it. East to west, boy was it fun!

I started to do this a few years back just to see what would happen....I'd anchor up way away from any pack and within a few hours, there would be 5 or 6 boats around me....its funny how some people just look for boats out there to try to find fish...

Same thing happens on the tribs for steelies. It's like people can't comprehend the radical concept that there might be fish in the hole below the one they're fishing. But when they see someone else there, suddenly it looks like a good spot.

Sounds like it could have been a Sabiki rig.
Perch can't resist the Chartreuse Sabikis.

deff sabiki. They work awesome!!! I have ordered them from ebay when the local shops didnt have any.
