What depth(s) did you see them? Earlier in the year I crossed paths with a giant fast moving perch school in 25 feet of water, but lost em immediately.

The tightest ball showed red in the middle, and the ball behind that one was bigger as it was longer, not as dense tho. And then there were lots of fish in waves all the way up to about 5 foot depth.

11/11/2015 7:46:00 PMThanks for the detailed info. Mind if I ask what you were throwing at them when you got some nibbles? Ive noticed that the perch in sawyer seem to have a different preference for gear/ bait than the perch in other lakes. Seem to be a little more picky here. (they dont seem to hit perch meat like they did in curlew or washington). I have caught 14in perch here with drop shot and nightcrawler, just few and far between.
