I can attest to thatTerrible day..! Used a double insulated pop up,Im assuming the bp and just ugly weather and wind played a roll in a terrible fishing day, not to mention a strugle with equipment..!Went on at sarnia and went south, I didnt notice when we went on, maybe it showed up today maybe before but there is a large preasure ridge in front of sarnia maybe 300 yards, it appears to start in the center of the lake and run north north west, pretty large anyway
Its normal this time for perch. It's also time when a camera wins over a sonar. I like to remove the hook of a flashy spoon, replace it with a few inch of low-visibility line and a small J hook, just big enough to match a minnow head, perch eye or likesized minnow piece. Perch will be called in by the spoon. They will look at the offer. If you hide the hook, they will take the offer ever so gently. Hiding the hook inside the bait seems unusual, but that increase bite rate many fold. Just set hook a little harder.
