Comment by John Sheehan on July 29, 2013 at 10:14am: Four white Perch mixed with lots of Gills on bottom 6-10 fow in a hole near a relatively steep bank .Slow retrieve .'Hus 'spoons tipped with worms or Hotdog pieces.

Comment by John Sheehan on June 2, 2013 at 4:21am: Caught a few Yellow Perch and one white Perch near the NE Finger where a stream enters the lake .Many follow ups that were rejected and many short nips at the tail .The takes generally came close to the boat when the Jig spin retrieve was stopped and it sunk .The perch dove down and grabbed it . This trigger didn't always work but a moderately quick retrieve and drop was the way to go.

Comment by John Sheehan on December 15, 2012 at 4:28pm: It's been all about Slip Floating Yellow Perch from the bank for the past couple weeks .I'm not catching anything else. Today, "Dancing in my head" was the sound of Johnny Wilkins ' voice ,which I've heard by the way on his Podcast show.The voice said " get the weight away from the hook." Well I am a bad student but after using an 1/8th oz jig under a float and only catching one dink Yellow Perch ,I decided to switch to a 16th oz Jig and use split shot 6" and 8" up the line away from the hook . Made a big difference and the action was pretty good .To be able to catch about 15 Yellows in an hour and a half from shore this late in mid December makes be pleased!
