Can anybody explain WHY this would keep a bait away from perch? It's something I do on purpose to catch perch at Mantua/PV/Rockport/Hyrum during the summer.

YES, THEY DO! Inch long chubs, while NEVER where I need them to be when I'm looking for bait, seem to turn up everywhere in the darndest places. I remember once stepping through thin ice covering what amounted to a mud puddle off to the side of a ditch, while duck hunting west of Centerville, and watching THOUSANDS of tiny chubs struggle back off the ice into 5" of water, max.
TubeDude, let me thank you again for all the work you continue to put in on stuff like this, on behalf of all the newer anglers, and the more clueless, like myself. It has been a great help, especially at places like Utah Lake. I really would like to get everything you've ever written and all your maps printed off and in one place. I remember talk about you compiling a book, and if you have, let me know where to send the check.
