Thread: Perch jerkin on the BIG O

Niceee

Tagged and bagged!

Wow you slayed them. Going to be down there either Feb 10 or Feb 17th. Hopefully they are still biting.

Nice bit of work you did. Some good looking fish.

After running all over the place I finally found decent water around buckhead ridge and went to work. When I arrived at buckhead I had 3 in the well...an hour later I was limited out and left them biting. The fish were stacked in open water off the bullrushes and they wanted the jig. Also if you wanna night fish the river is on fire! My buddies have been hammering them up there. It looked like a carnival last night with all the lights...there were over 40 boats at the mouth of the river alone.

Were you anchored or moving? Problem ive been having last couple times is the wind and keeping the boat straight.

I was just drifting the open water in between the clumps of bullrushes. Two pole jigging nice and slow....thumppp

Very nice job.

That sounds like a blast. I'll be down to fish with my uncle in Buckhead Ridge from Feb 19th thru the 28. Hope to have a few good days/nights. My fingers are already crossed for decent weather.
