Perch
After striking out on Silver Lake, I headed home to Keuka Lake. Water temps today were 42-44 degrees with almost crystal clear clarity. My baits of the day were a Reef Runner Cicada and a Silver Buddy blade bait. The fish still seem to be deep, but becoming more active. They are definitely keying in on schools of Perch - because if I was around schools of Perch I would catch a smallmouth. Two of the smallmouth I caught had perch tails sticking out of their throats!

Points
bought the rod to use on small jigs and Neds instead of a spinning rod. works well with a Shimano 70MGL with 15lbs braid and a leader. can replace a spinning rod easily.
