I was fishing "naked." That is, drop the bait down the hole with a clip on weight to set the sliding knot and slide-on sponge float to fish the bait close to the bottom. Normally catch the fish within 6 to 12 inches of the bottom. With the Vex FL-8 I can at last see if anything's down there and watch my jig in relation to any fish.

i haven't been using any minnows which is very reliable for yellow perch.

Not really. I have a few weeks.

The pond has been fished really hard for a two to three week period by up to six anglers at a time for three years now to harvest the fish I sell. It's possible the relased fish that didn't meet the minimum size are getting hard to catch. The seine this spring should take care of that.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
