Great Day Perchin'

Fished with Dan. Temperature this morning was in the lower 50's and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 60's. Again, the sun was out for the whole trip and it felt great on the water. We had our coats off by 9:30 am. There was no wind today so we had no waves, just a perfect day to be on Lake Erie. The water temp is 63 Degrees. It was a slow start this morning. The hi-lo driver showed up late and we had to buy some fuel before we went fishing. Finally, away we went. Headed back to the same spot we have been fishing the last week and there were 8 boats perch fishing in our area. We set up a little off our way point and only caught a few fish. After 20  minutes, we moved about 200 feet and started to catch some perch. Stayed put for the rest of the trip, sorting through the small fish and keeping nothing under 8 inches. Kept 100 perch. I decided to treat myself today and took the fish in to get cleaned. The 100 fish weighed 27 1/2 pounds. We both had a great day on the lake.
