Ended up doing pretty well. Again - when I saw you we were biffing it. About nothing on the camera, occasional school of trout come wafting through. Move, moved again, and third time was the charm Deeper and farther to the middle than most folks go, and we got onto the perch.
The cam came alive - fish EVERYWHERE. We had iced a couple trout before, but once we got onto the perch school -it was nonstop. And funny to watch - as my son would pronounce - Trout in the dungeon! Perch would scatter, dust would cloud and a school was in. Had one rod with braid line and the heavy marabou black jig - they loved that, just off the muck. It was busy!
The perch were finicky as usual. Little pecks, hardly a "take". Got the camera dialed in on David's lure, and he had a great time watching the school toy with his offering.
Sent quite a number back down the hole, some were having a hard time from the depth, but managed. Dave even hooked up a double!
Heading to Willard for an early start. Hope to get out before the Walleye go to bed!
