I have a 29 1/2 ft Rinker 282 but yesterday you would have had no problem because the lake had 1 ft or less swells.Put in at Lakeshore Park and run out 1-1/2 miles and look for fish on your sonar.It took me three moves to find the fish but once I found them my partner and I instantly caught 2-12 inch perch that could have been brothers.You have to see it to believe it.The perch are so fat that even a 9 inch perch will give you a great fillet.But I go for the jumbos and the short boat ride.When I fish the western basin I routinely run 40 miles in serch of decent sized perch.At Bula you literally run 15 minutes offshore and thats it.
