Bill:
My email address is . Thanks for the info., and yes I agree this will be a good learning experience. The perch in the lake were from wild stock Lake Erie some years ago but after 1988 when the pit was started. I will catch some 200-300 4-6" perch and put into the 4 x 4 x 4 cage over a week or so during April if I can get them to bite in large #'s, then start my feeding program as you suggested when all caught.
On another note, Sunday the weather was in the low 70's and I got the water bikes out of the shop and biked around the lake. I noticed many small schools of perch approx 1" in size near the shorelines in very shallow water.....could they be this years hatch already as the ice just melted on March 31, 2005? I didn't check the water temp but I bet it still is in the low 40 degree range.
