I hate when the weatherman lies!

Took my friend Bruce out perch fishing Wednesday afternoon. Reports on all the weather sites right up until we left were south wind 5 to 10 MPH. NOT! Even when it did die off a little at the end of the day,I don't think it dropped below 10. The trip up to Days River from Kipling wasn't too bad, but it was a real bugger holding an anchor and fishing perch rigs in those waves! We finally started catching good numbers the last hour and a half of light. Wigglers were working good for numbers, but not for size. Worms were the ticket for keepers. We ended the evening keeping 23, with 7 being 10 inches or better. All of the keepers were caught on leaf worms. Never had a bump on minnows. Guess you have to bring it all with you, and let the fish decide what they want.

Here's a couple pics of our bigger fish and Bruce with his two big ones, (he makes jumbo perch look small )
