I took a licken about 2 weeks ago but learned that you can't always count on the hump and that sometimes you need all your wits and toys just to catch a few. So this time I went alone and was better equipped for technical fishing.
I caught a total of 17 perch and nine crappie over about 8 hours of fishing from my boat. The fish were deep and use of a fish finder and special technique was needed to catch them. Surprisingly, the schools contained a mixture of perch and crappie. This fact was demonstrated several times so was no fluke. The water temperature was 47 F and folks at the dock were catching smallies as big as about three pounds.
The crappie were 9 to 11 inch and the perch 8 and 9 inch.
