This report is a little late. I fished with my buddy Glenn for perch again on Long. We again fished near the lily pads by Willow Bay for perch. The catching was once again good but the size left something to be desired. Total catch was 120-130 perch, a couple of smallies, and a nice 13" crappie. We kept about 20 10-12" perch, the rest were just too small. Drop shotting jigs with curly tail grubs worked well and once we had caught a few smaller size fish we used cut bait which worked best of all. Outside edge of the weeds is the place to be.
