Title: Report 2/11/18 Northeast Indiana
Post by: angolajones on Feb 11, 2018, 08:35 PM
Got a call from Rufus and we went out in search of perch.  Got to the lake around 2:30 and made a long walk in the slop.  Edge was slopping and where holes had been drilled was sloppy with the pucker factor of breaking through the top layer.  (Also rough on the hips.)  Thighs were burning after walking across the lake but we found the yellow gold.  Perch were stacked in every hole we went to.  Caught fish from 8 fow to 22 fow.  Ended up with 55 to clean and several throw backs.  Biggest was just under 13 inches.  Most were around 10 inches.  Also managed one bluegill that Rufus got to clean. (You're welcome.)  Fish were caught on everything we threw at them but we ended up using Swedish Pimples for the majority.

You really had to earn them if you were north of Angola. Coldwater got 14" on top of 6". It was not a fun walk out on Sat. My son and I got 1st and 2nd for crappie and perch in the Quincy tip up.

Great job on the perch.  I just ate some last night, those are some of the best eating fish out there.
