Whack em and Stack em


Fished with Captain Daryl. Temperature this morning was in the lower 50s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 60s and the skies were overcast. The wind was out of the northwest at 15 to 18 knots with waves just over a foot. After about an hour the wind started to die down to less than 10 knots and the waves were less than a foot. Started fishing where we were on the last trip and we never had to move. When we started fishing we caught some nice fish but not very fast, but we decided to stay put because we were on some nice fish. After about 20 minutes the catching picked up and so did the size of the fish. I actually thought we were going to run out of minnows because we caught so many little white perch so we started to use some cut bait. Daryl also caught 2 nice smallmouth bass, one well over 5 lbs. Well, we had enough minnows and we had a cooler full of perch so we called it a day. Kept 100 perch (we had no idea we had this many) and this has to be one of the best perch fishing trips in a very long time. When we got to the cleaning station to clean the fish everyone could not believe the size of the fish and how many we caught. Just a GREAT day perching.
