first Burwell perch experience

[Toad Hunter]

So late last sat. I was invited last minute to fill a spot in my buddies boat for another one of his trips to Port Burwell. Having seen his pics from the previous week I was excited to say the least.

When we get to "the bait guy" (those who are regulars there I'm sure know what the place is actually called-I how ever am not) - I was told "sorry we got no more bait, only frozen" - we then headed to the launch, a little disappointed , but I thought this was a chance for me to prove to my buddies "gulp alive will do the trick". This was no dice for my buddy who's been going there a few times this summer, "we gotta get minnows, we'll go to long point instead if we have to, or maybe the launch will sell em" at the top of the hill a sign reads "we have NO minnows" (so he decided to try frozen ones)- head BACK to the bait shop and lucked out some how got the last 3 scoops (maybe he thought my Buddy Ian was cuter? )

After hitting the water around 730-8ish, we started marking them "all over" in 39-41 FOW, got our selves rigged up with a simple "wally rig and weight" system, and we were on to fish in no time...

Kevin scored first..

 

 

Then I picked up two

 

 

and then it seemed we couldn't just land one at a time..

 

 

we must have thrown back thrice as many as we kept due to limited livewell space

 

 

but all in all it was a great day in the sun, and a day I will be sure to try and duplicate on any given invite.

 

here are a few of the nicer ones...

here's a pic of the loot we ran off with (wasn't able to add the last pic for some reason to the initial thread ?)

-notice the footballs in the bottom right corner (as if you can miss them)

That one on the far right in that second to last picture is a tank! Good job!
