Spent the afternoon at Willard. Only fish caught was the skunk buster perch below. A little wind er so I mostly fished inside the north marina. Several other fish on and another nice perch came unbuttoned at the boat. South half of the marina is covered with a skim of ice.

Nice perch Larry, any idea how long it was?
Curt, right at 12 inches.
It sure is strange how the perch always show up late in the year like this. How deep was the water you caught it in?
I hadn’t seen a perch until the middle of October. This one was in eight feet of water. Caught on a fire tiger rap,

You caught it trolling? In the marina? Wow, thats impressive, didn’t think it was deep enough in there. I figured you were vertical jigging.
I’d been trolling north of the marina. When I came back in, I dropped an anchor and jigged. After a while with no luck, I picked up the rod with the fire tiger rap and tossed it. On the first throw I picked up the perch and then had several hits on it later.

Very nice perch. I don’t think I have ever pulled a perch out of there.
Thats funny, can’t catch them jigging but they will take a lure[crazy]. How many hours were you out there?
