It has been hit or miss. 1 trip we get over 100 perch and the next trip it is tough to get 40. The fish are there, they just are not biting all of the time. My last 4 trips during the last 10 days of August we have kept 121, 106, 25 & 71. The perch we are catching are nice size averaging 8" - 10" with the largest just under 12".
