  1. Nice report. Your technique of slack line fishing is right on. Early spring perch react like this everywhere I fish for them. Expect them to get more aggressive after the spawn and then begin to actively feed..
  2. I remember a story that Gambler told me about tying a ballon to a perch in a local bay. If I’m not mistaken, the ballooned fish started taking off like crazy. Turns out a pike got it !
  3. It really depends on where you are, the clarity of the water and depth. Less is correct for most of the fingerlakes . I have watched them “ fly away” when someone makes a noise on Seneca or canandaigua. But letting the jig pound the bottom in other lakes , bays and Erie seems to trigger a strike at times.
  4. I guess I shoot myself in the foot a lot Brian. But you know the way I shoot and probably would miss more often than not just about 14’ is the magic number for not spooking perch. I can still jig them up under me at that depth. I would say a little deeper in Skaneateles and some areas of canandaigua where it’s clear. perch move around in tight little schools almost like a flock of sparrows. They move so you better too In the fingerlakes, drift and cast until you find them, spotlock until they stop biting and then drift some more. And by the way, don’t leave home without some worms on board. They worked 50 yrs ago and still work today. Just have to fish them in areas without gobies. The last two years I have been putting some nice Erie late summer perch on board using whatever worms I had left over from walleye fishing.
  5. Les. They are it the same thing. Silver bass have very pronounced stripes along the side and in Erie get very big. White bass sometimes locally called white perch have a more rounded shape and a single lateral line stripe. a lot of lakes have both species along with Erie and Ontario. Bob, I have a lake that’s close and you did not mention I think you should try. Pm me.
  6. Stop messing around with those silly things Less and start looking around for the yellow ones with the black stripes😁😁😁

    Lake Erie bite

    Gill. Over the past two weeks there seem to be two schools of fish out there. Do not overlook the 55’ water just to the east of the Purina plant. There are a lot of fish in that depth but a lot of throwbacks. Not much between 60-90 and then you will find schools of smelt and walleyes ,bows and lakers. The walleyes were averaging bigger out there. Good luck

    Lake Erie bite

    Nice catch. I’m wondering what they charged you to just clean fish there and not launch. I am not a fan of the launch price going up this with no improvements being made to the slabs there
  9. Tommy, I sent the info out to a few of my friends that might be interested.
  10. Hi, do you still have the Garmin echomap 73 sv ? What transducer comes with it if it is still available? im looking at buying one this week. thanks, jim
  11. I just tried Skinny this past Tuesday. Gave it an hour with my favorite Erie / Oneida worm harness. Tried along the drop at the north end weaving in and out from 40- 20. Not a single walleye . Lots of bass though. I also have had some reports of good walleye catches. Just got to keep on trying.
  12. Wow! Those are the nicest perch I have seen, including the Erie jumbos.
  13. The contest is out of the state park. Union springs will be a normal Saturday
  14. Thanks for the info. I was wondering if you saw any atv’s out of the park. My walking days are getting limited and it helps to be able to ride out. thanks.
