I Bay Perch

[bosco]

Got out today from about 7:30-2:00. Boated 50 or so. kept over 20. Some smaller but my freezer was empty so I didn't mind much. Definitely had to work for them though. I was surprised with the water clarity being as good as it was. What with the thaw and the wind and all. I was fully prepared to catch next to nothing but I had a fish on within 10 seconds of dropping my line. That kept my interest from the get go. Once the sun really came out, it slowed things down but I hung in there for a couple hours of it anyways. All in all....a nice day on the water.

WHat are you using for bait/technique? I may drop in Wednesday if I can.

I was using perch minnows on a crappie/spreader rig. I'm not really well versed with the Perch fishing out there and so that seemed like a good "dummy's choice". Most of the fish came on the bottom hook and I had the sinker below it right on (or just off of) the bottom. Caught them in as deep as 55' and as shallow as 20'. I'm sure there are regulars who could offer you better tips though.
