Is this National Perch Day or something? I didn't get the memo.

Just went to 3 ponds, 1, 4, and 6, and caught only perch. Not one other fish, but a pile of them. 20 smallish ones on pond 1, 4 on pond 4 (bit of a shock), and around 250 on pond 6. They're right at spawning stage, with all the males spraying white (I advise waders). The weird thing was there were no crappie or bluegill or sunfish, nor did I even see any in the shallows. Pond 6 was pretty much 2 at a time, around 9", in deep water, beyond the moss edges. Standard perch gear: Jiggy lures, tubes, worms, pretty much anything you get in front of them. Tight schools, a little hard to find, but once you do... At 2:15 the bite just stopped, cold. Not a nibble after that. Odd day, but fun!
