Glow Hot Perch was HOT!

[The Bait Shop Guy]

We were too busy at the shop for me to get fishing Friday and Saturday. Drove me nuts knowing how good the bite was, earlier in the week. Finally got out again Sunday evening, and it was still good! Trip started out on a sour note - got everything set up before I realized I left my graph at the shop! I don't know about you, but I won't fish without it! Ran back to get it, and I was fishing a little before 6pm.

Between 6:15 and 6:30 it was nuts! Iced 4 of my 5 fish, and lost a couple more in that 15 minute period! Started with a #9 Glow Hot Perch Jigging Rap, and saw no need to switch it up until after the big rush was over. Iced #5 about 6:45 on a #3 glow Perch Shiver Minnow.

Only lost two fish, and missed 2 or 3 this trip. Had one 16 incher that I threw back. the rest were perfect 19 to 21 inchers. A couple of them made great poor mans lobster for dinner. The rest will be fried up at a later date.

Thanks Chris for your posts and also for your generosity when it comes to bait. I do have one question. Have you been fishing off the yacht harbor or off the terris.? Thanks.

Nice catch Chris! Now, where's the picture of that HUGE perch that was supposedly caught in LBDN? From the picture it looks like your shop. Anyways, congrats to the young fella who is holding it in the picture.
