Day Three of Perch Jerkin



Fished with Uncle Dan. The temperature this morning was in the middle 50s and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 70s. The wind was out of the northeast 5 to 10 knots with waves around a foot. The water temp is 70 degrees. We headed back to the number 11 buoy because we did so well there yesterday. Today the fishing was not as good, could have been the water( little more cloudy) or that the bait store had smaller shiners. We caught a lot of fish but the size was a lot smaller. I made the decision that since we were catching fish and some of them were keepers that we were not going to move. We kept 50 perch between 8 and 11 1/2 inches and the majority of them were 8 inches. Talked to a couple of boats that were fishing in close and they came back with very few perch and the ones that they caught were small.
