ES Late Report 3/11 Yellow Perch

I managed to wet a line after work on the eastern shore Wed. I purchased some minnows and fished them on the bottom at a narrow tidal creek from 5-7 pm. Unfortunately it was low ebb tide and the bite was pretty slow. I did catch 10 yellow perch only 1 which I kept at 12 inches. Most were smaller around 8 inches and were released. Water temperature was 45 F. and the large gizzard shad were there. I also saw one otter swimming downstream. FW clams were seen eaten too. I hope to get out this week at least one day after work and try the crappie.
