OK, what am I doing wrong...
Went perch fishing for the first time Saturday east of Ballast island with the 100 or so other boats. Used a spreader with two minnows, went to the bottom and cranked it up a turn or two. Got there around 10:00 am and fished about three hours without a single catch. We did use preserved minnows that came from Gander Mountain, maybe the fish dont like those or something. Lots of fish were on the fish finder. I'm all ears for suggestions. Thanks!
western end style of perching
here on the western end of the lake the perch have an abautence of minnows right now, a single hook rig like a lindy style rigs are working better, half minnow are working better,
but if skipper 9 catches perch like he catches walleye then listen to him he great, but the western boys are coming perching
with him later this season to see ho's the perch kings of the lake. Better pratice jim, Wayne and Capt Mike
