Green Island Perch 10/8

Fished the small pack about 1/2 mile SE of Green Island on Monday from 11-3. Had low expectations and was pleasantly surprised with a good bite. Got 80 weighing in at 26lbs resulting in 11 lbs of filets from Bay's Edge. Bite picked up as the day went on. Some nice 10-11 inch fish mixed in with throwbacks. This area is not getting as much attention as prior years probably due to Catawba public ramp being closed. We launched from Mazuirk. Rickards had shiners with some of them being big shiners. We fished the big ones whole and they picked up some of our larger fish of the day.
