Capt Jerry Playin Hooky Trip #11 for the year
2.5 miles west of the mouth of portage river. Close to the Picket fence.
Perch fished in 22 foot of water. Wind was perfect in the morning 8-10 MPH out of the SW. Morning Bite was slow but steady and then the lake went flat and the clouds moved out and the lake became and inferno. Bite was good until 10 am then it just shut off. spreaders out fished the inline rigs 3 to 1 today Silver Blade spreader did the best. Skipper 9 rigs did manage to catch a few fish.
80 fish all over 9 inches no throw backs. 29 pounds at the cleaners
Did lose 1 20 plus inch Eye at the boat and managed to catch 1 14 inch throw back Eye. 100 farm animals.

Vacation next week to see my Grand babies then back to the lake perch fishing.
