What's Up With the Perch Fishing


Fished with Joe Barson, Chad, Neil and Steve. Temperature this morning was 47 degrees and when quit fishing it was in the lower 60s. The wind was out of the northwest 18 to 21 knots with waves 2 to 3 feet. Later on in the day the wind started to switch and the lake laid down to 1 to 2 foot waves. Started fishing in our usual spot and we had no bites! Don't know what's up with that but things are not looking good. Made a small move in this area and still no bites. Made a move to the northeast side of the dumping grounds and we started to catch some fish, just not very fast. Stayed there about an hour and then we went into the swamp. Made a couple of moves there and caught a couple of small perch and decided to move back to the original spot. Dropped anchor and fished for 30 minutes with out a bite so we made one last move to the W Buoy. Fished there about 15 minutes without any perch and called it a day. Kept 13 perch, which now makes this our worst trip of the year for catching perch.
