Not just west end is tough. Fished off Avon today. Three guys, 4 hours, 4 different stops, and grand total 4 keeper perch (and only one more non keeper!) We're normally very successful perchers, and the numbers we fished have nearly always produced well in other years. They aren't there now... at least not yet!

Wards is the Channel straight out from the Metzger Marsh Pier about 3 miles east of the Water intake is where
they fishing, I fish that area often with great luck

Thanks, Capt

Did good about 7 miles from river today, 4 man limit in 4 hrs, 39 lbs at cleaner, 4 lbs each fileted, SW corner of sandbar. nice size too, Mike

got 2 man limit bite was fast and furious but sorted 10 smalls to 1 keeper. lots of trash fish secret to big fish was 1 1/2 ounce weight bigger perch right on bottom light bite shinners cut in half . called 3 friends in 1 got 2 man limit 1 got 65 fish 4 fishermen I buddy only got 3 keepers he moved all around us and could not get them going frustration set in and they moved out to war bouy nothing they come back still nothing they got all small fish now they are keeping only big fish they clean there own where I will keep a 7 1/2 inch fish they throw them back but we had some 10 11 inch fish with a few of 7 inchers. I think the smalls and junk were getting the bait before it got to the bottom funny how they can be that close and not get there fish. hopefully going Thursday and Friday weather permitting back to vermillion next Thursday will report then
