French Lake- Pickeral

Took the wife to French Lake for some pickeral fishing on Sunday. I have been there a few times before ,ice fishing and once last year with my bass partner, moe, for picks. He and I only got a few perch near the 2 one-lane bridges. I caught a pic on my 1st cast on Sun on a green topwater while the wife was working on her line knots. I hooked 3 on a frog, and lost them all. It seems really hard to get a good hookset with this frog because of the hook position. I caught several perch and 1 pic on a jointed rapala (J11)which is quite large. The wife caught a couple of pics and perch on a black plastic pre-rigged worm which she had attached behind a double Hildebrand spinner. I am sure if a person fished hard all along the hundreds of weed beds you could fill the boat. I am definately going back for another go!!! There were also several large square nets set up in the area for gasperaux and I heard they catch them by the truckload right now. It was a great day on the water but a little breezy at times, especially in the afternoon.
