Thread: Lake Wylie Assault on Perch 5/3/2017

Wife and I launched the Warcraft at 6:30. Went to perch point and the graph lit up with Perch just laughing at us. . so we stop the boat and I took the wife's pole and baited up. She dropped it down and before I can reach for mine she was brining up perch. This went on for 10 minutes before I could get one of mine down. So finally got one of mine down and we both catching Perch. I could not get my second pole in the water to busy. Then Bam she was going nuts fighting a fish. She finally got it up and in the boat. She would not hold the fish so I held it and she took the pic.
Nice Bass over 3 pounds.

Those Perch tried to outflank us but we held our ground. Finally reinforcements showed up.



We gave a good fight and held on to the onslaught they even had Kamikaze thrown at us and we were catching two at a time. At 6 dozen minnows ran out in 90 minutes. We went to Charles Perch Point and went to cutbait and caught some more there.
5 Gallon bucket about filled up.


Total perch was 64. Action was fast and furious first 90 minutes. Most poles out was my two and Wife's pretty pink and purple pole with pink ribbons painted on it. We headed in at 10:30.

I usually leave the treble on, but a couple of times a small one hit it and got all 3 hooks in his mouth. I though I was going to have to cut his head off to get the hook out. A Little Cleo should work. The Berry spoons do have the reflective sides and I think they imitate the scales of a bait fish flashing in the water. Who knows why a fish hits some of the stuff we throw at them??
