Perch Fishing Begins

Fished with Joe. Temperature this morning was in the lower 60's and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 70's. The wind was very light out of the west and there were no waves, just a little chop. The water temp is 69 degrees. We picked up or minnows at Swamp Sally's and they had shiners of all different sizes but at least they had shiners. Started fishing in the swamp at some old perch numbers and we caught a couple of white perch. Made a couple of moves in the swamp and then we decided to head to some perch spots we use to fish by the Michigan/Ohio line off the River Raisin. Set up in first spot and we caught a nice perch right out of the gate. Stayed here for 45 minutes and we had 3 perch so we started to make some moves. After a couple of hours of fishing and we only caught one more perch we called it a day. Kept 4 perch. We waited until October to start perch fishing because we heard nothing but bad perch fishing reports. So far the reports are true.
