It's Perch Jerking Time

Fished with Captain Daryl before he went to work. Temperature this morning was in the upper 50s and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 60s. The wind was out of the south southwest 10 to 12 knots with waves around a foot. The water is very clear every place we stopped to fish and the water temp is 64 degrees.  Stopped at Lake Erie Party Store to buy shiners and I was his the first customer. I got the last of the minnows, a combination of shiners and mud minnows. Started fishing by buoy # 14 and did not catch a fish. Made a move  to buoys 9 and 10 and caught 1 perch. Made another move to the dumping grounds just west of McDonald's and caught 2 perch. Moved again to McDonald's and caught gobies. Stopped on the way back to the E buoy and caught 1 little perch. Made our last stop 1/2 mile south east of the E buoy and we started to catch some perch, not very fast catching but at least we were on some perch. Well, time ran out and Daryl had to head to work so we pulled the hook and made our way to port. Kept 19 perch.
