First time on Monticello, went to the bird and loons. Caught perch on spoons and jig double rigs in 35-45 ft. Had some of the biggest I ever caught. Caught 100+ and kept 65. Caught a lot of doubles. Tried out a new thumping stick to beat the bottom of the boat!! I’m a believer!!!

I was on Lake Wacamaw once and a man was beating the bottom of his boat. I asked what he was doing and he said, "Calling the perch." And he slayed them. I have fished all my life and that was the first I had ever heard of that. Even though I do not intentionally fish for perch, he made a believer out of me. Glad you got into them.
A fine looking perch jerk, congrats!
They’re is a guy on YouTube that’s fishes Monticello and Murray regularly. And he is a “boat beater”. You can find him on there if you want to check out his videos, his name is Steve Comalander. He beats the boat also when striper/hybrid fishing.Quote:

My stick is the Steve Comalander Edition. 😜😜😜 I like his videos. We tried several of his tactics and they work.
Nice catch, congrats on your day. Steve makes some very good videos with great info.
Nice catch on the perch I hav been beating on the bottom of my boat for strikers for over 10 years and yes it works.
That had to be a fun time. Those boogers are a blast to catch, especially on light tackle. Pretty tasty as well. Good job :fish :fish

You had a great trip. Thanks for sharing! How fast was the thumping and how hard was the strike on the bottom of your boat? Wood or metal bottom? I went with Remus one time to Clarks Hill and the guy we went with had a home made version and it gave me a head ache from listening to it all day! It did work well but it was loud to me and I'm deaf!:Rofl Just interested in how you did it?:popcorn
Tackleboat: blessed are they who share!
Jerry I kept 25 filets and gave away 103 filets. Yes, I must confess I should have had 130 but I’m not as good with the knife as I was back in the day. 😜 I took them to the restaurant where I eat breakfast most mornings. The girls always give me a pretty piece of country ham.
Did u get the shakes when the bite started?Quote:

It wasn’t too loud, aluminum boat with carpet and had a board so we wouldn’t wear out the carpet.
Thanks for the info. Wonder if it could work from a pontoon? :Rofl
I think it would.Quote:
