Summertime Swedish Pimples???
It's hot out! I recently went up to Lake Erie for a few days and tried jigging for perch using an emerald shiner. The perch weren't nailing the shiners as they are suppose to, so I came to the conclusion that the water temp is WAY too high, especially for this time of the year. Out of the several perch that I caught, they were very skinny, and weren't gorged with shiners/zebra lice, which is commonly sought this time of the year in the perch packs. If it makes a difference, the perch are suspended about 1-3 feet off the bottom at about 50-53 FOW.
With that being said, I was looking into buying some Swedish Pimples, but before I went and spent my moldy money on some, I would ask advice on how to use them, and if you can use them in the summer for perch, bluegill, crappie, or even walleye.
If the Pimples are a bad idea, I am open to other lures that may work. I'm hurting to catch some JUMBOS!!!
