Thanks for the info. I am taking a couple of old timers out tomorrow morning and they just don't have the stamina to make a long run and then fish for hours to get a limit or two of perch. I run out of East Harbor so hearing a report of the perch being south of Kelley's is like music to my ears. You said you fished between the dock and shore....what dock are you talking about? How deep of water? Has there been a pack of boats in the area? I worry about fishing in a pack with these old guys because there are always idiots that run through the pack and I don't want to rush one of these guys to the hospital for a hip replacement.

I have fished for 30+ years on the lake and I have never heard of a sinker weight making any difference on catching perch. What do you contribute the heavier sinker had to do with catching more perch?
