Insane White Perch Bite

The weather was cold and so was the water but with a little bit of finesse, there are some big boys and girls hitting and they’re not even on their beds yet. The introduction of alewives maybe a contributing factor to some chunky fish starting to establish population. Multiple 2 1/2 pounders and 3 over 3 pounds so far in less than three days of fishing.

In the calm the bass were surface feeding or “gorging” on alewive hatchlings and pickerel were bathing in the sun on the rocky points. No monster bass in thus run but the pickerel were definately beefy!!

Beautiful weather trip, fish were finicky, lure selection was key…white perch are showing up in the deep hole whereas the big bass are chasing Alewive hatchlings right out of the water. Casted into the center of a fleeing group and nailed this big guy.
