I've fished all my life in the north east, lake trout, brown and rainbow, walleye, bass. I started this quest for white perch July 4 last year. I went with my brother in law who owns the store at larto and the addiction was on. Bought a boat, rods, holders, put an RV at larto cabins for the year, spending every weekend I can in pursuit of the white perch. You may miss me April 17, as my wonderful wife pointed out, it was time to give her a weekend in NOLA. Small price to pay, I'll be back on the 24th trying to lower the water level at Larto by filling my cooler.
