With my new job I haven't been able to fish as much as I used to, but I made it out last weekend and yesterday looking for some perch. Last weekend I did pretty well so I had high hopes.

I arrived at the lake, dragged my boat out, and was fishing by 1045. In the first hour I had 11 keeper perch (7"-9") and two trout in the live basket. Then it died, with only a couple small nibbles for the next 90 minutes. Since the perch weren't cooperating I decided to fish for trout since they were jumping everywhere. I switched locations, threw out half a crawler on the bottom and slowly brought it in. This got my my last 3 trout (2 rainbow and 1 cutt) in about 20 minutes time.

The perch were a bit slow, but the trout fishing was pretty fast.
