Last Perch Trip of the Year

Fished with Captain Daryl. Temperature this morning was in the lower 50's and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 70's. The wind in the morning was out of the north northeast around 12 knots with waves 1 to 2 feet. After a hour the wind laid down and so did the waves. The water temp is 67 degrees. Started fishing at an old way point that has always caught perch for us. It's a long boat ride but very productive area. We set up and we started to catch a few perch, some were keepers and some we had to put back. We stayed here for a while even though the bite was very slow. The reports that we were getting on the cell phone were nothing but bad perch fishing. We decided to pull the hook and start looking for some fish making our way back towards port. After a couple of hours of stopping and not catching anything we called it a day. We kept 9 perch. My perch season ended with a total of 13 perch. Unbelievable. Because the perch fishing was so bad we both decided to put our boats away for the winter.
