Water Dogs~ Perch Report

[LEfriend]

18 lbs for 90 is 5 to a lb. Those fish look bigger than that...unless you put all the nice ones on top. Right now I would take a limit of most any size!

This year has been the pits for fishing weather wise, period! I say if you want some perch for the freezer or just a meal or 2 then you best take what the lake is willing to give you when you can get out fishing. Who knows what this algae situation is going to become.

Later this year when they do the trawls for the young of year walleye I look for poor results, not because there was a bad recruitment of YOY walleyes (and that certainly is a possibility) but because the dead and dieing algae would have forced the YOY eyes to move to locations that are not normally part of the areas surveyed. They simply will not remain in areas that they cannot breath in, they will move to survive, they are not suicidal.

55 yellow perch just west of Rattlesnake Island.
Just could not get that last 5, 11 pounds at the cleaners.
Using spreaders in 32 fow, and no bling.
The chubs seem to work ok, I put a hook tear in their belly before I put them on the hook.

30 more perch at "H"can. 2.5 hours, did some sorting.
7 pounds at the cleaners, boat next to me had 72 for the day, and they were using spreaders with yellow blades.
spreaders , shiners, and no bling for Water Dog.
very light bite, watch your tip and rip some lips off when you see the tip move, or else it will be too late and your bait will be.... fish food.
