Comment by John Sheehan on November 18, 2013 at 4:33pm: No Jim ,didn't keep any but thinking of going back with that intention another day . David, swimming Buck tail Jigs ,white/brown caught 21 and caught one other swimming a Squirrel tail . Then I rested the spot and tried a wind blown point hoping for Crappie and Bass using a slip float white Buck tail and caught another YP. Came back to spot one and caught another on the squirrel tail and called it quits . It was happening the 1st hour ! I would love to get on bigger Perch and have a lake in mind 20 minutes from my house .Next year perhaps .

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on November 18, 2013 at 4:24pm: Were you swimming the jigs, or beneath a float.

Comment by Jim Gronaw on November 18, 2013 at 4:20pm: Wow John...you are smokin the perch, man! Those are great numbers...and certainly big enough to eat. Keep any?

Comment by John Sheehan on November 18, 2013 at 3:27pm: Yellow Perch are still hittin' Jigs on Rip Rap. Got 25 ,9-10" on Buck tail jigs today from 2:30-4:30.

Comment by John Sheehan on November 12, 2013 at 7:03am: Tandem jig rig with twister tails worked great on Yellow Perch yesterday when the water surface was calm ! So did the floated tandem marabou jigs tipped with the mussel bits after the wind picked up .

Comment by John Sheehan on November 12, 2013 at 6:59am: Finally tried this fantastic way of cleaning Perch .I'm hoping the bones fall away from the flesh after cooking like the video says http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjTlFwQb7D0

Comment by John Sheehan on November 5, 2013 at 1:47pm: Yesterday the tandem Jig Rigs and Slip Float /Jig Rig caught 65 fish ,except for a few yesterday on a 10th oz. Thunderbolt spoon .Mostly Yellow Perch 9-11" ,some real nice thick Crappies 11-13",about four White Perch up to 10.5"and three Gills to 8" .Got three Doubles on the Tandem including a White Perch /Yellow Perch Double .Most fish came on the Tandem rig but float rig caught real fine Crappie! Fishing into the wind at the dam end of the lake produced great numbers and consistent action for 4 and 1/2 hrs.!

Comment by John Sheehan on November 2, 2013 at 6:28am: This tandem rig swimming retrieve approach out fished the slip float approach the last time out . http://bigbluegill.com/profiles/blogs/tandem-jig-rig-for-pannies
