We now have the greatest yellow perch fishery in history since the blue pike were decimated by the smelt hordes that were ignored by our public agencies. Most important now is a good anchor system or an expensive "Spot Lock" gimmick. When Lake Erie surface temperature reaches the high seventy degree range, the fishery will move west of Sturgeon Point to at least 65 foot depths for cooler water temperature. Economically a good anchor can hold your boat in place but you need at least two hundred feet of anchor line for your anchor  to hook on the bottom. A three to one length for your anchor to avoid drifting into your neighbors lines. Two hundred foot of poly braided 3/8 line will hold your small boat then. It takes up less space in your small boat and it easily splices together for a neat   or bucket. Easier on your hands especially the lighter anchor when you pull it up at the end of your trip.
