Launched the boat in big sodus looking for perch they are deep most big ones caught at 30 ftow fishing right on the bottom with #6 hook small splitshot and fathead minnows only kept the big ones lots of 8 and 9 inch the bite is very light on the big ones the rod end barely moved just a couple twitches then set the hook I did not drop anchor wind was sse so I let it blow me along the 30 ftow mark had three poles in lots of fun when I passed over a school of perch I do not keep more than we will eat so I don't take pictures took home 10 real nice perch.
