Going fishing

[PZeiler]

Over 400 fish handled with 44 keeper perch. White perch as fast as you could re-bait the hook. Bait shop indicated that fishing had been very spotty and directed us to 4 mile out at 40 degrees. Moved a few times at the 4 mile mark and got tired of white perch. Moved out to group of boats 5 mile out and marked fish but there was no bite at all. Moved a few times around the 5 mile mark but same results. Ended coming back in to the 4 mile mark and finished night. Bling only caught white perch and sheep head. Half minnows caught perch. Whole minnows only caught white perch. 1 guy caught only 3 perch all night but caught more than 100 white perch.

pleiler try this go to single hook, one chartuse bead, eighteen
inch lead, light as possible sinker, lay it in the mud, and lift slowly, it will increase your perch catch, size and amounts,
its like a lindy rig. WAYNE REEL SPORT CHARTERS 419 265 2736

Wayne,

Sorry for the dumb question , but the 18inch leader is attached to the weight, and the bead is above the hook. Any leader on the hook, or do you tie it right to the line.

wayne,
i will be in touch with mike. Buddy of mine is out right now and limited in our spot this am. 4 guys 3 hours sounded like nice fish. hes trying to catch walleyes now. I'll keep you posted!

hoping to go sat and sun as well. maybe just b 1st mate for reel sport?

[wayne johnson]

the rig I make is simple, main line then swivel, attach sinker,
off swivel run 12 to 18 inch line with one bead and a red hook.
If you are after bigger perch or they are finky you can make the
sinker a slider, big perch will drop anything that they feel a resiance to, that why longer lead they can swim around with it
and its natural, small chartuse or deep red bead works as a
attractor, plus this rig stay longer in the mud in rougher waters,
junk fish don't bother this rig as much as others. Troy I;m
finishing my kitchen on sat. mike may have one opening in the moring and a coupke in the afternoon trip, boat needs a good washing.
