      Found several monster schools of perch on the edges of the drop offs on both sides of the lake 30-80 fow. Drop shot rigs with small plastics and 1/2 oz jig heads with small plastics in natural colors worked best. Fish would turn on and off, so don't leave them too early once you find them, sometimes it was a waiting game!

      Bass were all over the flats schooling together this weekend in 10-20 fow. 1/4 oz jigs tipped with plastics in green and brown worked well.

        Insects

      Perch are schooled up and fairly sluggish. Deeper water seems to be a bit more productive (40+ fow) so larger 3/4 to 1 oz jigs coupled with light braid and a fluorocarbon leader are necessary. Work jigs on the bottom slow to imitate bugs and small minnows. Natural colors have produced best.
