Perchin' in November

Fished with Captain Dan. Temperature this morning was in the middle 60's when we started fishing and it was in the middle 70's when we quit fishing. Never had a day of fishing in November with temps like this! The wind was out of the south west less than 5 knots and there was hardly a ripple on the lake. The water temp is 53 Degrees. We took our sweatshirts off pretty early and enjoyed the sunshine and perch fishing. Started fishing in front of the Edison stacks in 22 feet of water and we only caught one small perch. Made a move about 1/4 mile south east of the Raisin River buoys 1 and 2 and we found some fish. Stayed put here and we picked away at the perch. We had to do some sorting, but our game plan was to keep nothing under 9 inches. Kept 69 perch with the largest one's measuring 11 1/4 inches and we had a couple of perch that were 8 inches that swallowed the hooks. Just a beautiful fishing trip in November on Lake Erie!
