Ditto what Shane has reported. I fished for a couple of days pulling (dodger & squid) lead line and had an incredible number of strikes but lost 75% of the fish. Switched to just pulling 6 lb mono and caught 75% and a lot more fun. The trout action is pretty strong, but you toss a lot of smaller fish back.
Perch on perch meat. Found some bigger fish a little deeper off the weed line and the trick was to let the bait rest on the bottom for count of 10 then just make a sweeping hook set. 9 times out of ten - fish on (and a little bigger then the dinks found right in the weeds).
If we could only spread the rain they got at FL this last weekend across the state there would be no worries.
