10/21 Perch

[Swartztastic]

Last fishing trip of the year today. Went out with my son. We got anchored around 1. We were about 3/4 of a mile west of Niagara reef. We went through stretches where we caught decent fish and then a lot of short fish. Ended up with 45 keepers in under 3 hours. Threw back more than we kept. One sheepshead, one white bass, two small white perch and two small walleye.

Pulled the boat when we got in. On the way home, got a leak in the transmission cooler a mile and a half from home and my truck stopped. Had to get help from my son in law. He pulled the boat home and my son brought his truck back and towed my truck home.

Can’t wait until April!
