The perch are hitting minnows.My son lives on the lake and switched from plastic to minnows and is getting nice catches of large perch. Set up a dropshot rig with the hooks20-30" over the sinker. Good luck.

When I ran that setup I ran the smaller Dipsy and a Romer release about 10ft. above the ball,and the main line off the ball. If you want to go real deep set your Dipsy on one or 0 and let out 200 or300ft. of wire,hook to the romer release and lower the ball to the depth you want and go from there. Good luck, I did well like that.
Start long, they have to be higher than the sides of the boat with the trailer in the water or you will mark up the sides of the boat or hang the boat up on one side or the other. You can cut them down later if you want. Been there and did that.
A few years back I was trolling out of Sodus and having a good morning, about 10 oclock it turned off. We trolled around for an other hour with out a hit so I cleared the lines and dropped the temp. prob. down till I hit the right temp. zone at 4.5mph. them I dropped two move rods down with hi speed attacker spoons that they don't make any more on the riggers with fixed sliders at the same depth as the temp. gage. It wasen't long we were into fish again, Salmon and steelhead. I checked the GPS and I was still in the same water I fished in the morning.
You have to slow down as soon as you hook up or you rip the hooks out.
My 89 BaHa had ford V8s in it with points and that made me happy because I could tune them myself.They could sit all winter and start right up in the spring, no trouble at all.Some time in the spring I would change the plugs points condenser and rotator,and set the timing by ear, and they ran like a top. Never had one quite me on the lake. No reason to change anything. If it ain't broke don't fix it..
I had one of those handles years ago and the day I needed it the dam thing striped out. If I rember right I had gloves and pulled the wire up and my mate hand turned the spool.
I watched a hen and 9-10 3\4 grown youngins. They were walking down the road in front of my house with a cat watching then like they were dinner. The cat wondered up to them like he didn't know they were there, when he was close to them in a quick move they surrounded the cat and were about to kick his but, he ran like hell to get away from them, he changed his mind about turkey dinner and they left alone. I think those birds were going to have that cat for lunch.
Hey jackrabbit, I've got a bee I've been thinking about using but I don't think the factory bullet would do the job on dogs most of the time. Its the 45gr. hollow Pt. and it will blow up on a twig. What are you shooting,are you hand loading? $90 a box is kind of steep for me.
I hunt state land most of the time and I get my share of deer bow hunting. I spent 3hours in the woods this season and took a 1.5 year old crotch horn.
Six or seven years ago I had a tiny buck walk up with in two ft.of me,it was about 2.5ft. tall and had the same horn deformity. I think it was 6or8 months old or less. The following season I was talking to a neighbor and I told him about this deer, he told me it was living in the patch of woods across the road from where I hunt and was doing well.That was in the HoneyOe Falls area. I don't think it was the same deer. Do you think he got into it with a bigger buck and got his butt kicked?Just a thought.
