Perch Fishing

[bailey]

Hey joe we did over at the oak my nephew lost the 2 we hooked had 8 other bites. One pf the ones he lost straightened the hook and other came off about 10 min into the fight he did good for 8 yrs old. He was funny asked for help but did good and when 1st come he explained how his heart was beating and he never felt a fish like that summed it up by saying it was like tug of war. Hope to try again this weekend with him. With luck he'll get an arm burner over 25# .

A friend of mine went out today about the same area and caught nothing but small ones. He was marking lots of fish.

I see that the lake is down to 65 degrees, thats 10 degrees cooler than the last time I fished, I'm wondering if the bigger perch are moving shallower.

If anybody runs into anything decent sized, I would be interested in knowing how deep you were. I'm planning on going out sat am, can't wait!!

I went out after some minnows today at the foot of ferry and they were skittish and hard to get. That was around 2:30pm. Just an FYI.

Good luck tomorrow I hope to be there as well.

Pheasants are yummy little morsels to barry. Bread up some fingers n fish make a great surf n turf. Are they preserve birds?
