Fished with Joe. The temperature was in the upper 50s when we started fishing and by the time we quit it was in the upper 60s. The wind was out of the Northeast at 15 knots when we headed out, which made for a bumpy boat ride, and about 10:00 AM the wind started to lay down. Waves were 3 footers on the ride out and on the ride back to port they were about 1 foot. The water temp is 71 degrees.
We made a pass through the second dumping grounds by McDonald's on the way out because I had a report that they were catching some perch in the area. We did not mark any fish so we headed out to the honey hole. The fishing was slow and we were catching a lot of small perch ( 6 to 7 inches ) so we moved a couple hundred feet and started to catch some bigger fish, but not a whole lot. We were about to move again, had the rods out of the water and getting ready to pull the anchor but the fish finder was full of fish, so we decided to stay put. Good choice. The fish started biting again. Kept 33 perch for the day and then we went to Trappers and had them fry up a couple of perch dinners.
