Nice Day on the Water

Fished with Uncle Dan. Temperature this morning was in the middle 40s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 60s. The wind was light and variable with hardly any waves. The water temp is 60 degrees. Started fishing just east of buoys 3 and 4 on the River Raisin. Fished here for about 15 minutes without a bite so we made a move up to buoys 1 and 2. Fished about 1/4 mile east of them (41 52 480 / 083 16 410). Dan had a nice fish right out of the gate and I had a double so we thought we were in for a great day of fishing. The catching slowed down but we were on enough fish to keep us here. Around 11:30 AM it was like someone turned off the switch and the fish stopped biting. I pulled out the binoculars and took a look around and every boat I looked at was doing nothing. When I got home and checked out the buoy reports the barometer dropped .08 within 15 minutes, so that could have been our problem. Kept 40 perch for the day.
