Hit the water a little after 3 pm. It was a beautiful clear sunny day and in the low 60's. Fished for bass for the first hour without even one strike. So we switched to jigs and bobbers and got a few perch in the deep holes near the beaver house. We went back out into the lake north of the launch and dropped anchor. It was slow at first until the sun got very low in the west and then the bite was on. We ended up with 25 perch, all but 4 were between 8-11inches and nice and fat. Also got 4 pickerels, 3 bass, 1 pumpkinseed, 1 catfish and 1 brown trout. We love the variety of fish here. You never know for sure what is on the end of your line.
We have brought home about 3 dozen perch for the freezer in the past 2 weeks and EVERY one of them has been a female with well developed eggs sacks inside. Even one little 5 incher who was to badly hooked to release was a female with eggs. We are fishing in several different parts of the lake, holes near shore to out in the lake, and they are all females that are biting. Seems weird to me. Anyone got any theories as to why?
