Deep Lake Report 5/2 followed by mighty perching

Well i had some plans to go to deep lake before heading out of waukegan to go perching. Got on the water around 645 and stayed till about 1045. About 10 minutes into fishing i picked up a fat 12 inch bass on a rat l trap. Action was consistent today and most bass came on the deeper weed lines. Saw some nice fish cruising the shallows also. All the fish i got came one 1/4oz. blue/chrome rat l trap ripped through the weeds. My friend mike got his also on the same color rat l trap along with some fish hitting his sexy shad trap. Here are a few fish that i got!


















We then packed it up and headed down the road to waukegan. We waited for a few friends to show up and we were off. Fishing for perch was very slow for the first 3 hours or so. We only had about 8 fish in the cooler between 6 of us. Then all of a sudden we all hooked up witha jumbo within 30 seconds and it was lock and load from there on. In a 45 minute span i would say we landed about 40 jumbo perch all ranging from 10-14.5 inches. All the other boats quickly picked this up and they were in on some action as well. Me and mike probably had out limits caught but we had to split all 47 fish between 6 of us. All in all it was a great day to be out. Weather couldnt have been any much better. Thanks for reading.
