Harry asked me out on his boat today so went after perch and Stripers on Murray. Had it been summertime we would have been done in an hour. Found a bunch of hungry stripers on 25' hump and action was fast and furious. None were big enough to bring home, averaging 12-16" .
We lost count but easily 35-40 fish. All Stripers, not the first perch or catfish. I fished entirely with my secret modified Berry's spoon.
Harry had minnows and herring but he caught as many on jigs as live bait.
I've been pretty much stuck in a recliner since January so I'm as sore now as I was after boot camp.
Good to get out on the water after being housebound for so long.
Harry's boat is in a slip so we didn't have an issue with launching. But, we only saw two boats all morning. I'm sure the weather played a role along with ramp closures.
