Overview - Special thanks to Jesse for inviting me out to fish with him, had a blast slaying perch!

Had a very interesting start to our day. Believe it or not, we weren't supposed to catch even a single perch, being bass guys, we got to the reservoir planning on chasing some chunk largemouth the whole time.

Jesse arrived a few minutes before I got there at about 7 am. He is fortunate enough to have access to free boat rentals since his family is good friends with the owner of the boat rental shop. The week before, Jesse scoped the place out and saw a sign that said, "boat rentals available friday-monday." No problem, since we met up yesterday, which was a monday.

But... upon arrival, the sign was updated to say, "boat rentals available on weekends." Well, there goes our original plan to crush bass all day. Fortunately, Jesse had plan B ready and we traveled south to fish the reservoir dams. We started at the southernmost dam, but didn't have a whole lot of success.

We fished it for a couple hours until about 10 am, and all we had to show for it for a couple dink largemouth and several missed fish/strikes. We then made a move and walked up towards the bigger dam, and thats when the fishing went berserk!

The very first cast, Jesse hooks up with a super fat yellow perch, the biggest I'd ever seen! Within 20 minutes, we had a caught over a dozen perch and a bonus brown trout, all on one of my favorite fall bass lures, the lipless crankbait. The fish were keyed in on little 3"-4" shad, proven when one of the perch regurgitated a halfway digested gizzard shad.

For the next few hours, we caught more perch than I could count, some of them weighing in close to 1.5 pounds. The action slowed down after about 90 minutes of fishing, possibly because the school of shad the fish were feeding on moved somewhere else, but had another great experience on the water, and I'll be looking forward to chasing some more chunky perch this winter when the bass fishing slows down xD
