10/17 Perch....slow day on the perch bite directly out from Metzgers marsh in 21' of water. However, the size was excellent !! Biggest avg size of the season for me. Kept 15 nice perch, 5 were between 10-11.5", only two at 8" plus all the rest were 9" plus.. Little nippy out there this morning but caught my first perch five minutes after pole hit the water and it was a 10" plus. Size made up for the slow bite. Winter is commin fill that freezer !!
