Pre-Work Perchin' 6/26am

Quite a few readers here are counting down the days until July, and so am I. Us perch fishermen only have a handful of days remaining before the season closes. Well, there's always trout and salmon to keep me plenty busy in the month of July and I'm definitely looking forward to those fishies.

Well, with time running out, I decided to get out on this sunny morning and try my luck with a couple of some regular perch crew members. Arrive at spot J late! I hit my snooze too many times :oops: . Got my jigs in the water around 545am. Three consecutive casts produced three perchies. Due to work duties, I had to leave the lake around 645 am. Only got an hour of fishing in, but was still able to put some fillets away. The perch crew fell a handful of fish short of a 3 man limit... not bad in a about an hour's work before work ;)

What worked -

My pal Tom was whacking perch on a custom spinner tipped with a piece of raw shrimp

Pal Keith did the best on paddlebugs - green

I did my damage with tiny albino flukes, run in tandem, 1/16 oz on the bottom, little lighter on the top.

Mimicking a molting crayfish is a little tricky with plastics, but it can be done. Just ask this 13.5" perch who got fooled...



And here's a couple pics from the morning. Enjoy. Happy Perching. Merry June :)2
