Left Catawba ramp just after 5:30 A.M. and went slowly out to Round reef where we had success a couple of weeks ago. Started jigging in near darkness with no success. Once it got light we saw why.....very muddy. So we went up to Niagra reef. The water there was much better. We started just NE of the can and drifted SW for about a mile or so. Got 5 on the first drift. Then 2 and then 2 more on the third. Culled the smallest from the livewell. Also caught a perchzilla on a walleye jig...very unusual. Hair jigs. Colors were green and purple and black and purple tipped with gulp minnows. Nothing fancy.... just a gentle jerk. Not fast paced by any means but a fun day with my son. What a great lake is Erie.
