Pretty cold this week without a heater. Let’s figure getting out when it gets warmer.

Was out today and the perch are fewer. On camera we saw 1-5 today versus hundreds in the past.

Perch were 7-9 inch and fat enough to make some nice fillets. Great to see them larger.

Because there are fewer they are harder to catch. Saw them being more fickle and slower to bite. Likely due to fewer numbers and more natural food availability. Competition to the bait does help with a more furious bite.

Trout swimming around scare the perch off for a minute.

In the end we caught over 50 between three of us
