Perch Fishing

By the way forgot to add, the bathrooms at sturgeon are closed.

Except of course for the big one accessible by boat.

Knew I should have gone perching, but had a nice day on the lower river. Wny, sounds like one of those days. Fishkiller, I fished the summer I broke my leg & I never had a cast on it, just have to figure out how to get in & out of the boat, so get out there. You are probably still recovering from catching all those "eyes" all summer.

Lineman i broke a leg before they put a rod in the tibia, it hurt like hell but in 2 wks i was walkin when i wasn't checking groung hardness with my face. Remind me to never tick you off you gots to be one tough sob for sure LOL.

Not tough it was broke vertically & a cast would have done nothing for it.I could not put any weight on it for 5-6 months. used crutches & wheel chair to get around. It did hurt like hell when it happend. (be careful cutting trees)

Fished SP today,kept 70-80 good size fish. Had eight 12-14"ers. The rest were all 9-11"ers. One dock still in , good water in the harbor but sand bar across mouth is getting bad , 1.5 fow in spots then 2-3, saw 2 boats on it & we scraped it a bit. Fished 52fow alittle to the west.

I was out there myself yesterday, did not do as good as you ended up with 12 nice sized fish, one was a big 13" pig. I didn't start until close to noon and they seemed to shut down some after 1:30 ish with boats moving around then.

Just out of curiousity are you fishing right on top of a school of fish, where they are constantly on your sonar? Are they holding tight like that and not roaming around?

The lake is not any deeper with the rain we have had, and the sand bar is getting bigger. I made it out just fine, but coming back in I did not have my outdrive raised enough and did get stuck briefly but was able to oar myself off. I did however chip off the end of a prop blade, not sure if it was there or in the docking area because I felt a bump.

We were next to the 2 guys pulling fish in one after the other. We were about 20 yds from them. They left and a bass boat with 3 guys got right in there. (west seneca printing) decales on side of boat & started getting fish, also a guy in a whaler was in the same spot catching. We had a good day could have been 20* warmer.
