10/10/10 fishing for perch

[Get_the_Net]

Went to Wawasee with Jig-n-pig and BlueUltra2 to go perch fishing this morning.  Stopped and picked up 6 dozen minnows on the way to the lake and went thru all of them but about 5.  Fished from about 8 to noon and wasted some time looking for them when we should have started where we ended up.  We must have caught about 60-70 perch, 10 bass and a couple red eyes.  We kept 18, a few of which were kind of small but were going to die due to where they were hooked.  Here is a pic of the best 5 with a  11" fillet knife to show the size.  Not a bad morning on the water considering we did not find the fish until about 10 AM.



We probably would have caught a few more if pigsmallie was not a baby and decided to sleep in!!!

We definitely know where to start next time!  Just hold off on getting that boat winterized.

Nice try...I had to pick my daughter up at the high school at 1:15 AM, and I still got up.  You can sleep when you are dead.

Can you handle being anchored and using bobbers with minnows?
