We perched fished just north of Rattlesnake Island and south west of Sugar Island.
30 fow using spreaders, minows and crawlers on the bottom.
caught 20 white perch, 15 yellow perch, 8 channel cats, 10 sheephead and some white bass.
`the biggest perch was 13"~NICE~
the wind~waves were too much in the am for us or we would have fished the reefs.

There were about 15 boats perch fishing just east of rattlesnake.
And 5 boats fishing just north of Green Island.

The may fly hatch is out in force.
Rumor has it that this will affect the perch fishing.
I still see many "balls of may fly's" on my fish finder~!
Not sure how much longer this will last, but they are not done!

My last post for walleye says it all. ~ "no walleye for you" (ok maybe 2)
Ok .... now I know that in the past I have switched over to perchen soon after the walleye spawn..... because I could not get it "going on" with the walleye drift. However.. since I have been doing the "trolling thing" I have caught more walleye then ever before. ( I was an avid lets drift and cast kind of fisher dude) ........somehow over the winter months my boat "Water Dog" gave berth to... yes ... a 9.9 kicker motor~! Well.... my wife doubts that but I know that all of you that read this post will agree.. with my version.
Somehow... redoing the bathroom just did not measure up with the kicker motor....~Fish On~
