I checked 4 locations that I can normally get a perch taco from but they were just outside my cast range today. Maybe if I was earlier. Who knows. Bank tangling can get frustrating when you see the pretty floating rigs hauling them in
Later in the afternoon i grabbed Cookie and Buckwheat and took a drive to Willard to watch the perch fest. Enjoyed a good chat with an older gent fishing the docks. He had a nice mess of perch. We tossed in with some cut bait. Picked up some kitty nibbles for dinner for tomorrow. God bless them cats
Too bad Rockport didn't treat you better Lance. Great that Willard gave you some tugs. Did that guy fishing that dock at Willard have a red bucket? If so I've seen him out there the last three weeks.
That is him. Red homedepot bucket.

The joy of bank tangling - Can you cast like a surf fisher. I can do quite a dance when I spin and twirl to get that distance but the pink tutu gets me banned from most state parks
Remember: keep the lid on the worms, share your jerky, and stop by to say hi to Cookie and the Cowboy-Pirate crew
