First perch trip of the season????
Larry, his son and two of his buddies showed up ready for the most exciting trip of a life time, fishing on beautiful Lake Erie. They showed up a little before their start time of 8am. I had all the perch gear ready and my famous frozen minnows in a small cooler all set to go.
First question, “How are the perch biting?” Honest answer. Not sure, no one is fishing for them. I told them the only thing I was sure of is how incredible the walleye fishing is. There is a difference in price between the two but Larry and the guys decided to upgrade to a walleye trip. By the time I switched the perch gear over for walleye it was 8:30 before we started setting lines. The crew jumped in lending a hand by getting rods out and baiting the night crawler harness with a nice fat worm. The rods started bending within a few minutes & it was on. By 10:30 we were headed back to the harbor with their limit. Better to be lucky than good.
