On Sunday afternoon, E, Sam, Belle, and myself went down the river for some perch action before the rain set in. We were very pleased with good numbers of nice yellows with a few crappies and one citation pickerel (25.5 inches) in the mix. The fish were in 4-8 foot depths and took 1/16 oz. curltail jigs tipped with small minnows. The warm up is probably the key to success, with water temps soaring into the low to mid 40’s. We also used a double jig rig which puts double the baits, colors and depth presentations to encourage the cool lethargic perch onto the dinner plate
