A couple years ago at Yuba, two weeks before Cliff fell through the ice with his four wheeler, we were fishing for Perch across the bay from the Oasis marina. We kept seeing fish on sonar, but few bites. I dropped the aqua vu down and started watching. The eight to ten inch Perch were swimming around and nibbling our jigs about six inches off bottom. The porker twelve inch Perch would swim up, belly to bottom, and just sit there. If the jig was on bottom, they would open their little mouths and taste it. But never move the rod. I caught a limit that day I think. While my buddy caught a couple smaller ones. Without the camera, we would have only got small ones. Those big fat porker Perch would not chase or lift their fat butts off bottom. And even my Vex didnt show they were there.
