8/13 Perch

We fished South of the pack that was South of Green Island. Four of us ended up with 110 perch before we ran out of time. I was hoping we would limit out in time but I’m never going to complain about catching that many perch. Everyone was using crappie rigs with full emerald shiners. We had to do very little sorting, most perch were in the 8-9” range with a decent amount being 9.5-10”.

Nice catch.

Yesterday I fished between Starve Island and Starve Island Reef and managed my 30 in about 3 hours. Bite was super light and lost a lot of mushy frozen minnows in the process. I was pretty much alone most of the time with only a few boats coming and going around me. I stuck it out as I have learned to not leave fish to find fish!
