Re: Perch Caller
So then we should not use anchor and drift? I don't have spot lock.
Also, don't touch bottom with sinkers right? Keep it clean and let them find your bait.
Guys seem to be cutting minnows into 1 inch pieces too. Do I keep one alive and one piece for easy eating, or just use the cut pieces?
When the Central Basin had perch, we would always bang bottom with sinkers to bring them over. It usually worked if they were near.
Thanks for the info. We only had 1 good day out of 5 last year for perch. It was a 5-7mph wind out of south. I had drift socks out and we were drifting slow like .2--.3 mph.

Re: Perch Caller
At times over the years of perch fishing when the bite gets tough I have put a few live minnows and some cut up pieces in a minnow bucket and loaded it with a rock and sunk it to the bottom. Sometimes hanging a foot or so off the bottom, other times letting it bounce off the bottom. It seemed to be hit or miss as to effect. Sometimes I think it helps to draw them in, other times not so much.
