After a discouraging week, calling it quits for perch fishing off the piers. Water temp getting too high. Fished three early mornings this week (up before 5:00am) for a total of 4 perch. Gobies are abundant with occasional sheepshead and rock bass. Time to turn my attention to other fishing opportunities. As far as a season recap goes, it was poor. Hit the piers harder than most years with fewer fish. Old timers agree this was the worst spring in a long time. We never had any good numbers of large fish. The lakers were spread very thin this year, and were in a short time. Small perch were plentiful early this year, but the jumbos were very elusive. I had no limits, no good days where the bite was on. Numbers were way down, and the overall size was also down. Had many good memories and great conversations with the old timers though. Saw a lot of rising suns and battled some very frigid weather. Thats why they call it fishing, not catching.
