Mostly active jigging, about every 20 seconds or so. I did have some hit it dead sticked because I set the rod down to deal with something else.

Thanks! Yes, the lake has produced a lot of perch for a lot of people. I've heard 2 schools of thought about it. One was everyone should keep a limit so they don't get stunted and the other was hoping that it doesn't get overfished.
Based on what I saw this year, I think the numbers needed to be reduced to delay the "eat themselves out of house and home" population crash. It is always a hard one to call. There were huge numbers of pot bellied females mature enough to spawn this spring!
