Quick Afternoon On Erskine Lake

 


1:10-3:10 PM NW Flat 6' and 7'
44℉, PC, 2-4mph S

I just had a couple of hours to fish, so I redrilled my holes from yesterday. I started shallow. Perch had invaded the area. I brought up a few perch with the 3" Switch and had a pike send them scrambling to the bottom at Mach 6. The pike took two fast straffing runs. I put a minnow down, and it came in and looked. A pike or two kept the perch and a couple of small sunfish honest. I fished for about an hour and caught no bass, so I went to the deeper holes. Once again, mainly perch to start. I was just about to move back shallow after only perch, but then a pod of sunfish moved in, and a bass came on camera. I put down the Wonder Bread Switch, and it took it, but I had the drag set not quite tight enough, so the hook didn't penetrate. Bass 2 Me 0. I went back shallow for the final half hour and had a stalking pike. I caught perch at both spots. Many perch down there today. I played keep away and bitsies with them. As I came off the lake, King Charles was at the ramp with his owner.
