How true the information is, but I heard nets east of kellies are not bringing in many fish either............so to me that makes it appear more than they are just not biting as much as as a large lacking of numbers.

Several years ago large size and good numbers of perch could be had out east or by the weather bouy. Have personal had 150 perch go almost 90 pounds. These areas are now not producing

It's no doubt with large number of walleyes, bait fish and small other fish like perch are taking a beating in the population column I'm sure our great hatches over the last 5 years of walleyes has put a dent in the number of little perch filling in or even making it.

I'm sure its affecting them schooling up how we used to know them.

How long does it take a perch to go from hatch to 9"
