What does "stay on fifty" mean in perch fishing?
It is the school-follow doctrine: because perch school by size in large numbers, the first fish you catch predicts the next fifty — and your job is to stay physically on that school as it grazes. When a hot hole or drift dies, the school has usually moved 50–100 m (164–328 ft) (55–110 yd), not stopped feeding, so the response is to move with it: drift the same line again, drill the next holes down the flat in the direction the marks were trending, or watch which side of the boat the last fish came from. Anglers who camp on a "spot" get twenty minutes of the school; anglers who chase the front of it get the whole day.
