We killed the perch today at Bula

I am posting this here because anyone who can trailer their boat should really give Bula a try.Check out this 2 man limit.We were throwing back 9 inchers.Many 12-13's and a really nice 14.These fish are pigs.they are so fat they look like freaks of nature.Ended up with 11 lbs of pure skinless fillets.I hope to get up one more time

BTW:That rig in the picture is all we are using to slam the perch.1 hook tied directly to the line 9 inches above a barrel sinker.Deadly!!!

How big of a boat were you on? How far out were you? I'd love to pull my 17' deep-V over there if there was little to no wind.

I have a 29 1/2 ft Rinker 282 but yesterday you would have had no problem because the lake had 1 ft or less swells.Put in at Lakeshore Park and run out 1-1/2 miles and look for fish on your sonar.It took me three moves to find the fish but once I found them my partner and I instantly caught 2-12 inch perch that could have been brothers.You have to see it to believe it.The perch are so fat that even a 9 inch perch will give you a great fillet.But I go for the jumbos and the short boat ride.When I fish the western basin I routinely run 40 miles in serch of decent sized perch.At Bula you literally run 15 minutes offshore and thats it.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully the winds will cooperate in the next few weeks.
BTW I do have a 25 ft. center console but didn't really want to tow it that far.
