When we quit fishing it was in the lower 50s with sunshine. The wind was out of the east northeast around 10 knots with waves about a foot. The water temp is 43 degrees. Started fishing in our hot spot and again it did not pay off. We heard a report at the bait shop this morning that they caught some fish out by Sputnik so that was where we headed. Started catching fish right out of the gate but they were all 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 inches. Made a small move here to find some larger perch but we had the same results so we headed towards the buoys 1 and 2 on the River Raisin. Dropped the anchor here and we only caught 1 keeper perch so we made another move and fished right by buoy #1 and we were on some fish. Spent the rest of the trip here and we caught some nice fish. On the way back to the harbor we beached the boat on a sand bar, not good. It took us a while to get back to deeper water but we managed and there was no damage to the boat. Because it was getting late in the day we took the perch to Joe's bait store and had them cleaned. We kept 71 perch that weighed 23 1/2 lbs and cost $37.60 to have them fillet with the skins on.
