I know what you mean. Western end folks are not posting - good or bad.

I fish today at bouy 13 along ship channel. Ended the day with 58 keepers over 7.5" with 4 guys. Sorted a lot of fish to get that. A lot, and I mean a lot of 7" fish that we threw back. I actually measure my fish before they go in the box. A few sheephead and white perch but 90% were yellow perch - just small. Largest was 10.5 inches. Boats were moving on a regular basis, We stuck it out and did not move. Bite would come and go. Bait had to be laying on the bottom. Red hooks on spreaders with no bling. Droppers were not catch as well as spreaders. My brother had the hot hand. His comment the whole day was that they were biting very soft.
