Water Dogs~ Perch Report

[waterdog]

Do you drag the spreader for perch in particular or to Target walleye. It's looking like I'm on the water next Thursday or Friday!!

Both perch and walleye like to hit the spreader. My favorite is perch my wife likes walleye. I never use any bling on the spreader.
Let me know how it works for you, just make sure you have some rope on that pole~!

SE of G can today. Had two hours in to it, late start fished from 10 am to noon.
6 nice yellow perch and 10 sheep head~! Using golden shiners for bait. Very light bite and the lake was really nice today.
Spreaders on the bottom (20 fow) and no bling.
Back at it soon. This year is not like last year (for perch), however, it should pick up as the season progresses.
I did see some green bloom in the water, but it was not bad.

Sure sign of perch season! Glad to see Waterdog is back on the advance reconnaissance team and reporting. Keep em coming. You are right. Very slow start. I remember catching them a few years ago in July. As good as the perch population is supposed to be in the west basin, I sure do wonder where they are all hiding. Hope this hide and seek is not a bad omen. Trolled east of Kelley's yesterday and picked up some spiny water fleas on the lines. That doesn't help...

I think the lake being full of walleye is keeping the perch in hide mode.

fished south of green island and G can and, no yellow perch for the dog!
I got a tip at the gas dock today, and will see it that works on Sunday.
Anyway, every dog has his day. (or weeks)
Keep the lines tight and be safe,
