Perch

[Ole fisherman]

Got out today looking for Perch before season's end. Fished around the reef area of camp perry. Bite started sow, very slow for first couple hours moving four times. Finally ended up by Pickeral reef and got into a group if really nice Perch !! Biggest was just shy of 15" by a hair ! 6 others were over 12", and another 6 around the 11" mark. Only 6 under 9". Best quality and size we have saw in years ! Lots if boats taking advantage of a nice weekend to end the season. Shiners were small with some chubs mixed in but we ended with 36 awesome size perch for three of us.

Thanks for taking time to share your great day on the lake. How many more weeks do you think the perch will be active

I usually get some perch when I drop a line, but I'm not sure I've ever seen them on my Helix. If anyone has a screen shot of what that looks like, and what your settings are, I'd find that hugely helpful.

I have a Lawrance, HDI unit from 2013. Not sure what the settings are but it does show small arches all along the bottom when n a Scholl is present. Mine is set for color changes by the previous owner. Small fish are black specs bigger fish show arches and big fish get red in color. Easy to see bigger fish mixed in with small fish from the marks and colors. How to create this....I have no idea, owned this unit for 3 years and still learning, then again, computers and I don't get along well !
