First Perch Trip of the Year

Fished with Joe. Temperature this morning was in the middle 70's and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 80's. The wind was out of the southeast less than 10 knots with waves less than a foot. The water temp is 77 degrees. Started fishing where we caught most of our perch last year. We were marking some fish but not catching anything. Made a small move in this area and nothing. Decided to head out to Sputnik and try our luck. On the way out to Sputnik we drove by an old perch spot so we stopped and gave it a try. Started to catch some perch so we just stayed put. The bite was sporadic but at least we were catching some fish. We had shiners for bait but they were way to large, wound up cutting them in half. Kept 47 perch between 8 and 11 inches with most of the fish around 9 inches.
