I would first like to say thank you for the comments. Although I don’t really believe I'm all that. I really appreciate the time I was able to fish with you and your uncle last year and hope to do the same this year. It's all you on the perch though, the Uncle Ronnie and Jim method I like to call it. You changed the way I fish for the yellow perch last year and it's because of the catch rate you have. Jim is a Great fishermen and is first rate all the way, I would recommend anyone to book a charter with him any time during the fishing season.

Could you guy's give me an idea on what area's your fishing during the month of April I'm assuming it's all jig fishing.

Thanks,

Sure, jigging.. The beach just west of wild wings marina, cone reef, niagra reef, any other reef.. Go to a reef that does not have a lot of boat traffic.. The fish are shallow so the boats spook them easy.. Go early.. I am usually fishing before the sun starts to come up..

Slow trolling, 1.0 to 1.2 knots with crankbaits.. You will be fishing high. Your leads on a 800 series reef runner will be between 25 and 40 feet back. This how you catch you big active females.. Troll in deep water adjacent to shallow reef areas

Bottom bouncing, As soon as they will take a worm(april 17th or so) green island to north bass using bottom bouncers and worm harneses

Casting, around april 20th any where you can find active fish. Basically drift till you start catching and repeat.
ANYBOSY ELSE WANT TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE PLEASE DO..

The areas to jig fish in the spring would be the reef complex and just out front of wild wings marina and the beach area to the west. There are fish usually all over these areas. By using wild wings, beef creek, lamber jacks, or Toussaint marina’s there all easy access to fishing areas. There are more marinas than that in the area you could use also. The best part is usually you don’t have to go more than ¼ mile to catch eyes.
