Sat. I was out off grassy point in about 7 fow with my son, and we slamed the perch. We brought home 42 all 10 to 14 inches, and put back anything smaller. I think the perch are moving in to eat the fry??????? This year has been a good perch season,!!!!!!!!!! And yes the pike cost me more jigs, Had 2 on with 4# line and they won. Try fishing on the bottem with a minnow on a white glow jig and fish up until you find the big ones. Sat they were up about 2ft off the bottem.
