I am soooo jealous! I've developed a real passion for these fish (both the catching and the eating), and I've scaled down the tackle to take better advantage of just how hard they fight. But Clarks Hill (as far as I know) is still too muddy, and local reports I've heard are very poor, even in the clearer waters of Russell. Overnight we went from catching over a hundred to almost none...but that's what 3-4 feet of new water the color of milk chocolate will do.

Hopefully, I can soon rejoin the fun y'all are already having. Although I'll have to call my group the Perch EXTRACTION Team, as eradication might be too bold a boast even for me!
