Erie Perch
Posted: Mon May 04, 2015 7:32 am
One of my favorite annual spring outings is with my good buddy Rich down on Lake Erie. It's 100% a meat run and the perch fillets are a big part of our summer cook up plans.
We launched around 7:30am and after a short run a bit of sonar scouting, we found them and went to work filling 2 limits. We had what we wanted by 10:30.
Avg size was around 11IN's and there was some real piggies mixed in as well. The lake was supposed to be a blow, but it stayed glass calm all morning. We used minnows on a drop shot rig.
It took a little knife work to complete the day, but with the sunny beautiful weather, it was a pleasure to pull up a chair at the cleaning table and get them all cleaned up and bagged. I'll remain married for another year now that I have my wifes perch supply secured.
