Made the trip to Erie today. We fished for perch this trip. Fished a little north west of b-can caught 2 tickets weighed 17 pounds at the cleaners. They algea was bad and the bite was slow. Perch were on the bottom. Most were caught with slack in the line. And raising it off the bottom and feal for a perch on the line. You really don't feel the bite. I used 1/2 a emerald shinner on the hook and no bling.
