Made 4 stops yesterday morning before I finally found Perch about 1.5 miles East of Ballast in 34' of water. I have had these red spreaders hanging on my peg board for years and never tried them until I read your report and decided to take them along. 1 man limit in two ours on red and perch colored spreaders.

Started SW of rattlesnake. White perch were 10:1 to the yellow. Do not throw them back alive. Gulls eat them quick it is not littering. Take needle nose pliers grab them across the belly / lower gills. Squeeze, pull and twist.
