The fish are shallow right now. In a month or so they get much more active in the deeper spots., These were from last summer on a good night trolling stickbaits.
Crooks don't obey laws so why would a smaller perch limit help when they already keep over their legal limits? Perhaps calling the DEC when you witness the crime would be a better idea than creating more laws?
...P.S.: sorry to hijack the thread Slacko.
Is it possible you just had a bad day/fish weren't biting, or you were in the wrong spot? I've gotten skunked too but you can't say the whole lake is dead from one experience...Asking for a friend.
That's all good info right there. There's a good population of walleye in the bay and all of the above methods will catch them. We like trolling with worm harnesses and stick baits. Casting harnesses in the shallows is an overlooked style also.
Thanks for contributing!
...Thanks for the complement Brian.
We picked up four last evening in a couple hours, J. got this one that was over 8lbs! All fish were returned for another day.
