Rockport Perch Jerkin' 8-6-24

[MrShane]

I am old enough to have taken advantage of the Perch boom in all those lakes you mentioned, even Yuba.
I have not taken advantage of Willard, blame it on Goose season.

I'm surprised.  I know you to be a serious perch jerker...and also a prodigious shooter of fowl and fauna.  But I can't believe you have completely avoided the ever more popular fall perchin' at Willard...just to subject yourself to the vicissitudes of Utah goosin'.  With the "average" perch from Willard coming in around 11-12",  and some getting over 15", it is the closest we are likely to get in Utah of matching the glory days of Yuba.  And Willard is closer.  

It has been awhile since we have ganged up on the fishies together.  But if you are up to it, I will lower my standards and get in your boat with you again this fall for a personal introduction to some of Willards "tiger fish".  

In case you missed this when I posted it a while back, I am attaching one of my PDF writeups on the subject.  I also put up a video on this subject. WILLARD PERCH VIDEO

I have read it and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
The only reason I have not been before is because of my disease of wanting to lay in the snow and ice for hours waiting for a flock of Honkers to descend on me low and slow.
I would be privileged to go to Willard this fall with you, what is your favorite week to go?
I don’t winterize my boat so it can be as late as you want.
I will even throw in a heater for our fingertips if it is late as I think you like to go.
Sorry I did not get you up to DC.
My wife and I have lost 3 out of the 4 of our parents in last 16 months with 2 of them being mine.
I am their executor and I can’t believe how much paperwork still needed to be completed for months and months after their passing.
I have an Elk hunt next week and that is my only big game tag for the year so let’s get this date on the calendar and I will make it happen!
