Changing routine can be good

Post by Perch killer »

Hit a beach yesterday am that hadn't been to since last year. Was targeting yellow fins at a reefy/rocky area of the beach. Usual perch suspects were around but being patient led to a good strike. Fish jumped to surface and got a good look, for sure a good size yfc but disappointedly a break off. Tide reached the slack and action dead for a while until perch got at it again. Remaining patient, got the big hit again and this time to the sand a nice, plump 14" yellow. Mission accomplished, a fun session.

Yes indeed but it was a CP&R. If it was bleeding, I would have harvested it.
