Rockport Report, better late than never

Do you tip the jigging rapalas with bait? On your comment to Lance, IMO, there is no chance of over fishing of those smaller perch, now when they are all big perch and few of the smaller ones, that is another subject.

Thanks for the insight on the perch. Yes, the little treble in the middle always has an eyeball, or a small piece of perch or crawler. The vast majority of the fish come on that center hook. So much so that I often think the lure itself is more attractor than anything else. At least for perch. Larger predators are often hooked on the nose hook or have the whole thing in their mouth.

I like to use those for vertical jigging mostly because they sink really fast. It's nice that they catch a lot of fish too!
