Hit the deck about 8:45 and headed out to find Kastmaster, who was already there. He and his son were getting a couple, so I tried nearby and it was game on. The perch bite was sporadic but good. By the time it slowed down around noon, I had all the perch I cared to fillet. Size was similar to other reports. I also was getting a fair number of bows, some small, some to 14 inches. About 1 PM, I went exploring to find a few bigger trout. No monsters, but the trout bite remained consistent. All bows as usual. The small bows were taking larger offerings as readily as the smaller ones. I tried a few more holes before I left and found some more perch and trout. Great day. If you are looking for perch, the best spots were near/in submerged trees in 38-50 ft of water. The trout were all over the water column today, including the bottom.
