[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 443527, member: 367"] Not sure what happened or why but I started fishing it in the mid to late late 70s , first year or two was a learning curve but after that I had real good luck until the water started rising . I thought I just wasn't finding them in the bigger lake and eventually found more productive water. Back then there was no limit , perch were non game fish and times were tough in the 80's with 12% home and vehicle loans so hunting and fishing was more of a necessity than today . More than once I caught enough fish to last a whole year and then clean fish till I was numb. That's just one person, I remember all the people that would flock in from Wisconsin and I'd make the comment a that it will get fished out with all these people and everyone said no way that could ever happen. I don't recall ever hearing of a huge winterkill . [/QUOTE]
