Managed to get out on Sunday and it took some time and a few locations to locate some yellow perch. I had 7 but they were generally small. No pictures. At least they are starting to school up. Hits were aggressive and the jig had to have a twitch. Would not touch if I just floated it along.
Going to look for white perch soon. Will be trying some new spots I scouted.

Went out Saturday for a look around. The spots I looked at for yellows were iced up so no go. Looked for brackish water trout and/or whites to no avail. We decided to close the office for Christmas Eve, so I will be out in the morning.

Poked around a few bodies of fresh water yesterday for 1 decent perch and 3 smaller ones. No rhyme or reason for the bite. One was caught very close to the surface and the others deeper with varying speeds and twitches. Did not hit any salty spots. Maybe this week.

I cannot believe how fast the past 3 weeks have gone! I look at the forecast and the likelihood I go out over the weekend dwindles. Going to be hard to find open water where I like to fish. And even if I pushed out the puddle boat (Tracker 1448) , just way too cold in the wind.

MTB,
Did not know freshwater fishing made you all giddy. Let me know, I would not mind assisting you with fishing the fresh. Glad to see such enthusiasm towards the sport. Please continue to follow, and I will teach.
