Got to lake around 2 pm, perch hammering, some keepers. Perch shut down at dark. Sitting on a hump at 21'. First rattle reels around 830 and a miss. Caught a 17.5 followed by a 23.5. Had a big one up to hole and missed. Caught a white fish. Next day during warm-up, good fishing anticipated, but not one rattle. Only a 25" pike. High banks steep landing but non-issue with castle. Castle did well.
