I'm Getting Worse at This

Fished with Captain Daryl. Temperature this morning was in the middle 50's and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 50's. The wind was out of the northwest anywhere between 10 to 25 knots. Waves in the swamp were less than a foot and by the E-Buoy they were about 1 1/2 feet. The water temp is 65 degrees. It was drizzling rain for the first 3 hours. Started fishing in the swamp and we only caught small perch. Made 3 moves in this area and we had 4 small perch that we kept. Went out to Turtle island and fished all around it. At one spot we were about 500 feet from the island. When we dropped anchor at the north side of the island we caught 1 big perch and a lot of little ones. After a half hour of fishing we pulled the anchor and headed towards the E-Buoy. About half way to the E-Buoy we stopped and tried fishing, nothing but little perch. We then went to the E-Buoy and tried 3 spots around there and only caught 1 keeper perch so we came back to port and put Daryl's boat to rest for the winter. Kept 6 perch on a rainy day, not good.
