Perch at Willard?

[wiperhunter2]

Yesterday we boated 4 perch along with 17 walleye from 6:00pm to 9:30pm. all of the perch were on chartreuse crawler harness pulled 2.4mph

Great report, that's a very productive 3.5 hrs. Were you using weights to get the worm harnesses down deeper, if so how much weight were you using?

Yes, I run 3oz bottom bouncers. 48" leader from bouncer to harness and 125-150' set backs behind the boat. also i use a sinker slider above a swivel and just attach a pencil style bouncer to the slider. it really helps getting hook ups because when the fish hits its not pulling against a 3oz weight. Walleyes were on the harness and #7 flicker minnows, nothing on flicker shad.

We just use lead core line or snap weights to achieve the same depth and we found the same thing, that #7 flicker minnows worked better than the regular flicker shad in the same size. How bad were the mosquitoes, that late in the evening?
