Tried for perch at 5 pm minutes near High Cliff. One bite, had the fish on but it shook off shortly after trying to set the hook. Few other boats spread out along the cliff and must have been the same or similar results because they all left before I did. After 45 minutes I switched tactics and started trolling for eyes to test out some of the new rods and reels I aquired off e-bay for dirt cheap. Nothing for a long stretch, switch up lures, put on the trusty black and silver deep jr. 44' behind the board and bang, fish on. Big circle, hit the same spot and bang, fish on the deep jr. again. Switch all lures to black and silver deep jrs. and bang, bang. Once I dialed them in it became easy. Another troller was getting close, not that they probably didn't see me going in circle after circle anyway but it was near 7:30 so I called it a night and headed home. One fish was a 17.5"er but it looked like it ate a softball. Turned out to be the air sack was really inflated which surprised me because it came out of 6' of water.
