Regarding those white perch - I guess I do better with dumb luck than trying to figure them out?
Found a nice class of white perch this morning; 11-13" (yes -
). I was actually scouting for pickerel, casting along shores in 3' deep water (beginning of the incoming) way back in a creek, throwing a red 1/4 oz jighead with 4" chartreuse Gulp swimming mullet. Also caught an about 16" pike.
