Have a safe trip. Are you going to get to take the "scenic route", or will you have to drive the boring interstates all the way there?

I just noticed that Al's Master angler bass came from Halfmoon lake! IN the Bruin chain of lakes.

I fished Lake Erie on Saturday.
Perch fished from around 9 am to just after 4pm. Kept 76 perch between the two of us. Quite a bit of sorting and some fish were on the small side. I only moved twice. Lots of other boats moved around a lot and didn't do as good as we did. By the end of the day we were all alone and still catching fish. I deployed the "never leave fish to find fish" strategy. I guess some people have to catch them one after another or they don't stick around.

I think the other trick was one I have used time and time again. Utilizing different baits that are not widely known in the local area. We utilized perch rigs that are common to the west side of the state but no one on the East side sells them. Kevin turned me on to them a couple of years ago. They are made by Ron Spring's from Montague and are called "Ron Spring's panfish rigs. Chartreuse was the color of the day. We fished right on the Ohio boarder 6.21 miles straight east of Sterling state park in 28 ft of water.

Sounds like a great day. Sandy & I went a couple days ago and caught one Perch. Love that Perch fishing.

Larry, Tonda and I only got one perch. I set it on a 5 gal bucket to get a good pic.

That one perch is almost a full Meal!! Nice yellow belly though. I always love the fin colors this time of year.

I may be out perch fishing again this weekend.
