The perch right now are feeding on everything from Gobies to perch to even bluegill. They’re scattered and not grouped together as they normally are but it’s also colder than it normally is at this time of year. There seem to be schools of good size fish that are swimming freely and if you position yourself correctly, you can get loads of 6 to 10 inch perch then the big ones will come through and who knows what size you’ll catch then. We’ve got them up to almost 15 inches today. we’re generally 26 to 28 feet deep and when the fish come through a jigging rap over the side is ideal and as they move away dragging that VMC, swinging Ned jig and a crush BLT is ideal. The key to that jig is the fact that you can throw heavier jigs to battle the wind but when you stop the bait the tail will lift off the bottom tantalizingly no matter how heavy the weight. Drag the jig only. Don’t hop it or impart any action. Just a slow, constant drag.

The lake laid down pretty good this day. Was a beautiful day to be out but the calm water and high skies made the fish wary despite their numbers. The lake ranged from 38-47°. The fish have been deep but we noticed anglers catching good fish from shore so kept that in our back pocket. We tried 22-28’ of water. Small ones only. We tried moving shallower but the big fish didn’t seem to be willing there either. We did a lot of scoping in an attempt to find some schools. We could see bottom in 35’ of water. We decided to head back to the launch area. We were in 3-5’ here and the water was murky. It was also very warm… 47°. We proceeded to catch a ton of perch here. Big ones. The VMC finesse football jig helped walk Crush City Ned BLT’s and Suspects (Canadian shape) around rocks and wood. What a day!!!!
