Very true on the lack of dink perch. Makes you wonder if there was even a successful spawn for the perch this year.
We used to bring very large schools of small perch up to our swim platform with baited hooks, but not this year. Especially so in that bay across from the marina. We used to call that area "The Aquarium" because of the masses of fish that you could see on a clear sunny day all around. Not the case now. We saw what looked like large schools of very small minnows cruising the channels in the weed bed, but I'm suspecting those are carp minnows with the quantity of large carp swimming around in that area.
