Perch
Fishing flats with scattered rock in 8-10 feet produced the most bites and the jerkbait got all of our bigger bites including a 6 and a 5. Working it erratically seemed to trigger the most bites and the bigger bites. Perch was definitely the key color because we experimented with several others and didn’t get bit.
