Pineview Perch Report

[MWScott72]

East side of Echo south of the boat launch was money last night anywhere there was flooded brush. Started fishing at 6pm and the perch were all over my jig / worm combo until 8pm then they stopped like turning off a switch. Most were 6" or less, but did catch 3 between 8-9" and one dinky 8" walleye. After the perch stopped, I started hitting the edges of the brush with the same yellow 1/16 oz jig with a 2" white curly tail. The smallmouth did not disappoint. Probably caught 20 and lost another 8 or 9. Avg size was around 11", but did hook a couple that were 12-13 and 1.5 lbs or so. Really fun on an ultralight, but I I lost many because I couldnt set the hook hard enough to keep it in.

Filled a quart bag with fillets...looking forward to some more ceviche soon!
