when I head out to any honey hole, I look for marks just off the bottom (green blotches on my fish finder), the more the better, once noted I drop anchor and let the boat motor run for say 5-10 minutes, just a hey come get some call.
these perch are full of young fish, gobies from what I see in the "puke floor" of my boat.
lately, the goldens are hard to come by, all the bait shops were over whelmed by the demand given the "hot yellow gold" bite.
Anyway, back at it soon
