Long Boat Ride and Big Perch

Fished with Captain Daryl and Mark. Temperature this morning was in the middle 60s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 80s. The wind was out of the south around 10 knots with waves about a foot. The water temp is 76 Degrees. Decided to make the long boat run (41 48 000 / 083 13 000) and fish by the International Buoy, which is a 15 mile boat ride one way. Had good reports that some nice perch were caught in this area. Set up right on these numbers and within the first 5 minutes we had a 10 inch perch on. We picked away at them for a while and then the action just quit. Made a move to the east about 300 feet and caught 7 fish real quick and then the bite stopped again. Moved around this area for an hour without any luck so we headed to the Turn Around Buoy. Fished here for about 20 minutes and only caught a couple of small perch so we headed to one of our old hot spots from 5 years ago that was nearby. Dropped the anchor and fished here for 20 minutes and we had one small perch for our effort so we pulled lines and called it a day. Kept 21 perch and most of them were pretty nice but the boat ride is just too far.
