Did a couple morning sessions on Thursday and this morning with the noodle and got into a s#!tload of BSP. I couldn't get any big spawners, but a ton of mid-size ones that doubled the light pole over. All were caught on MORF Bugrubs; 13'6" noodle rod; 8 lb braid with a 4 lb fluoro leader.
The conditions we excellent on both days. Managed nine perch in little over an hour this morning. Some of the craziest bird action I've ever seen. They were all the way up on the beach eating baitfish--looked like anchovies. Some were even washed up on the sand from the chaos.
The water was moving around a lot more on Thursday and the fish were much more aggressive. They hit just about every retrieve I threw at them--a strong contrast to this morning's Perch that were only interested super subtle presentations of the grub. Managed seventeen perch in about two hours this morning.
Here's the video of some highlights.

Still trying to use this weird jig rig thing, but the fish have been going for the grub when given the choice; the might be hitting the jig, but not sticking for all I know. It also could be contributing to getting the fish's attention.
The jig is tied to the 8 lb braid main line; the swivel is tied in when I make the jig; off the back is the 4 lb leader with a size 4 Mosquito hook--hammer-hooked the grub.
