Thanks M.A.D. Eyes! This gives me a lot of options for several days of fishing, so I really appreciate your help. As I told Captain Tacky, my biggest concern now is finding the right minnows for the perch and a bait shop to buy them. I've seen some posts that have recommended a few places, but if you can tell me if there are good bait shops around the Catawba State Park or Mazuriks area, that would be very much appreciated. Thanks again for all of your help.
