the cat was a bullhead; about 16 inches; good fight on a micro-rod! the perch are consistently at 18-25 ft, (bigger fish being the 23-25ft range) near dropoffs and slopes. if you are taking the pontoon, i would walk it in from the westerly most public beach. there is a creek with a long sand bar; at the end of the sand bar anchor up at 22 ft deep, white curlytail w/worm. the big ones are hitting the jig of the "flutter down". if you catch a bunch of little ones, go a little deeper. another option would be to go straight acroos from the ramp on the south side. there is a shallow weed bed; fish the permimter of the weeds at 20 ft deep.
good luck; post a report!
