I fished with red worms and caught a ton of sunfish and perch. That is a very nice lake. I even went for a swim!

Where did you get the perch at? I know the lake has a good population of them but have never been able to find them. One of the best eating fish in my book.

Right off the dock, underside of the boat house . They love hidey holes and shade.

We get them in the summer on Lake Michigan but up there they are a open water fish found in 20-40ft of water. Caught these last month up three.

I caught so many of those this past June on Lake Champlain it wasnt even funny!! I caught a hug White Perch as well. The perch on Champlain love rocks and docks.
