February 10 Perch report *PICS*

[steverowbotham]

Well after putting the hurtin on the lakers all weekend, and my perch supply now fully diminished, I decided for a change of pace. Kelli and I headed south of our laker grounds in search of those tasty little striped fish.

 

Got to the lake at 7:15 and started in 25 fow. Lots of fish around, but all averaging 6-8 inches. Moved to 32 and hit the jackpot. From 8am - 1pm there was never a blank screen on the vex and Kelli and I caught fish every drop. We fished the bottom with small tubes, scud bugs and fished for the suspended fish with a small smelt pattern jig. Landed close to 200 fish and kept 30 a piece. No big fish, but a LOT in the 9-11 inch range and about a half dozen 12's. PErch is stocked up for a while, time to get back after the "real fish"

Had you caught more fish you wouldn't have needed to catch all those taters. Fine catch, Steve and Kelli.

For the 5 hours, the bait took longer to get to bottom than to get bit.

Love it when the perch keep you busy, especially when a lot of them are keeping size.
